The Role of Information in Game-Theoretic Decisions on Distributed Systems

博弈论是分析和设计分布式系统资源分配算法的重要工具。在许多现实世界的问题中，代理可以获得的信息是不完全的，这与经常做出的完美信息假设形成了鲜明对比。本项目将研究博弈论决策，并使用信息论中的概念对信息进行分析量化。更好地理解信息和对信息进行量化建模将导致分布式系统在通信限制方面是最佳的和健壮的。项目成果将适用于电网、可再生能源发电和储存、灌溉网络和通信系统。

Game theory is an important instrument for analysis and design of resource allocation algorithms on distributed systems. In many real-world problems, information available to agents is incomplete in contrast to the perfect information assumption often made. This project will investigate game-theoretic decisions and quantify information analytically using concepts from information theory. A better understanding and quantitative modelling of information will lead to distributed systems that are optimal and robust with respect to communication constraints. Project outcomes will be applicable to electrical power grids, renewable energy generation and storage, water irrigation networks, and communication systems.
