Strategic Interactions in Multiagent Systems

自利或竞争的多智能体系统是多个智能体交互的环境，同时可能具有不同的目标和信息。这些系统中的一些关键问题是：i）代理人如何以及何时应该协调他们的行动和决策; ii）如何设计协议来处理代理人的自身利益并实现系统范围内的期望目标。自利多智能体系统的例子比比皆是，从投票到玩游戏，多智能体系统研究社区的想法在从港口安全到智能电网的应用中产生了重大影响。

Self-interested, or competitive, multiagent systems are settings where multiple agents interact while potentially having different goals and information. Some of the key issues in these systems are i) how and when should agents coordinate their actions and decisions and ii) how to design protocols to handle the agents' self-interest and achieve system-wide desirable goals. Examples of self-interested multiagent systems abound, ranging from voting to game-playing, and ideas from the multiagent systems research community have had significant impact in applications ranging from port security to the Smart Grid.
