Outline of the Session
Multiagent systems have gained increasing attention due to the fact that many effective applications of them have been found and deployed in a great number of areas, such as transportation, sensor networks, smart grids and robot systems and so on. It is true that coordination among subsystems in a multiagent system may result in higher performance, more efficiency and lower costs. With the rapid advances of high technologies, several issues on multiagent systems come to the fore. One of recent hot topics is called network attacks. If attackers want to destroy a multiagent system in stealthy ways, many issues are raised: How to make the subsystems be coordinated in the presence of network attacks? How to design effective protocols to counter such attacks such that several goals: formation, consensus, and optimization can be gained? Thus, the security-related issues of a multiagent system become an interesting topic. Addressing these issues both poses significant challenges and provides abundant research opportunities.
This session aims at presenting some new/recent developments in multiagent systems. We host original papers on theoretical analysis and applications of multiagent systems.
