ECC 2024 Workshop on Multi-agent learning and control: recent advances and open problems

Summary: We warmly invite all researchers with interest in multiagent systems, control and learning to our upcoming workshop. The goal is to have a day of idea exchange: learning about latest research in the field and discussing open problems. 

The workshop is part of the European Control Conference 2024, in Stockholm Sweden. It will be held at the conference venue on June 25th, 2024, the day before the official opening of the conference. For information about the format please see ECC Workshop cite.

Workshop Abstract:

The safe and efficient operation of many large-scale systems, such as power systems, transportation networks, robotics and financial systems relies on the decision making of multiple interacting agents. Game theory is recognized as a common approach to model, analyze and design controllers for multi-agent systems. Despite significant advances in the field of game theory for multi-agent control, the field is still flourishing, and many questions remain open. The open questions have been receiving a fresh surge of interest, given the theoretical and practical successes in data-driven and learning-based control. This workshop brings together experts on multi-agent learning and control, addressing the 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; and to 2) sketch the open challenges in the field for researchers in the control community.

Workshop presenters:

The workshop will feature talks from the following researchers, and ends by a round table on open questions and challenges. The schedule, and the talk information (click on the links) are provided below.
