Abstract
Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems Cognitive Modeling: From Individual Needs to Swarm Intelligence
With the tremendous growth of AI technology, Robotics, IoT, and high-speed wireless sensor networks (like 5G) in recent years, it gradually forms an artificial ecosystem termed artificial social systems that involves entire AI agents from software entities to hardware devices. How to integrate artificial social systems into human society and coexist harmoniously is a critical issue for the sustainable development of human beings. In this talk, I will discuss cooperative multi-agent systems from the cognitive modeling perspective and survey how to optimize the global system’s utility and guarantee sustainable development for each group member from an individual needs angle in agents’ interaction and collaboration.
About the College of Computing
The Michigan Tech College of Computing, established in 2019, is the first academic unit in Michigan dedicated solely to computing, and one of only a handful such academic units in the United States. The college is composed of two academic departments. The Computer Science department offers four bachelor of science programs in computer science, cybersecurity, data science, and software engineering; four master of science programs in applied computer science, computer science, cybersecurity, and data science; and a doctoral program in computer science. The Applied Computing department offers four bachelor of science programs in cybersecurity, electrical engineering technology, information technology, and mechatronics; and two master of science programs in health informatics and mechatronics. The college also helps to administer an interdisciplinary doctoral program in computational science and engineering.
