Summary: This workshop brings together experts from control theory, learning, and game theory to discuss recent advances in learning in multi-agent games under partial information. It aims to foster exchange between scientific communities studying strategic decision-making in interactive multi-agent environments, with applications including markets, transportation systems, and networked autonomous systems. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of open problems and future research directions in the field.
The workshop is part of the European Control Conference 2026 in Reykjavík, Iceland. It will be held at the conference venue on July 7, 2026, the day before the official opening of the conference. For information about the format please see the ECC Workshop site.
Workshop abstract:
The safe and efficient operation of many large-scale systems, such as power systems, transportation networks, robotics, and financial networks, relies on the decision making of multiple interacting agents. These agents each have their own observation of the state of the system, resulting in partial observability and information asymmetry. Game theory is recognized as a common approach to model, analyze, and design controllers for multi-agent systems. However, the problem of characterizing and computing equilibria in several games, specifically those with partial and asymmetric observations, remains open.
This workshop brings together experts on multi-agent games, partially observable dynamical systems, and reinforcement learning, addressing these problems from different theoretical angles. The specific aims of the workshop are to (1) highlight state-of-the-art advances in multi-agent learning and control under partial information and (2) sketch the open challenges in the field for researchers in the control community.
