Multiagent sequential decision making under uncertainty (MSDM) is the problem multiple agents face when they aim to optimise their decisions over a finite or infinite number of time steps in a stochastic environment. It becomes increasingly complex when there is limited communication among the agents and the agents would act subjectively in a real-time interaction. The research problem is one of the core challenging issues in the agents planning community where researchers have developed a significant amount of research in the past decades. For example, a number of multiagent decision models, e.g. Dec-POMDP, MMDP and I-POMDP, have been well developed while a variety of different algorithms have been crafted to solve the models with the consideration of tractable computational complexity. However, the research challenges still exist particularly in an open AI world where unknown unknowns further complicate the agents’ interactions in both offline agent model and online plan execution.
The purpose of this workshop is to revisit the previous research achievements and discuss potential solutions to the new challenges in the MSDM research. Meanwhile, it is noticed that data-driven AI with powerful deep learning have dramatically changed the AI research horizon, which also offers great opportunities to re-shape the MSDM research. Hence, this workshop aims to bring together researchers in the fields of agents planning, reasoning and learning, as well as general machine learning and data science. We expect to discuss new MSDM solutions and foster research collaboration so as to demonstrate the MSDM research in a set of impactful real-world applications, e.g. health, space, security and so on.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome technical papers of up to 8 pages, and short review/position papers (2-4 pages). Papers should be written in English (with clear authors and affiliations), be submitted as a PDF document, and conform to the formatting guidelines of AAMAS 2023: https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/443/2022/06/AAMAS-2023-Formatting-Instructions.zip
