Abstract

This project concerns the design, development, analysis, and synthesis of a novel control and estimation architecture for multi-agent systems in which short term individual goals conflict with the long term desirable, or even non-negotiable, system evolution. The envisaged control and estimation framework is a kernel to feed Decision-Support Systems for all decision-making instances within the system.Clearly, the range of problems motivating such an architecture is extremely diverse and pervasive: Sustainable exploitation of natural resources, governance of production and consumption systems, management of all sorts of societal systems (health, education, mobility, entertainment, etc.), and, among others, control of artificial systems subject to constraints on the required resources.
