Themes
- Multi-agents systems, and more specifically adaptive multi-agent systems
(AMAS)
- Distributed optimization by cooperation between agents
- Resource and task allocation, to coordinate agents
- Hybrid AI and Decision-focused Learning, to adapt and learn heuristics, constraints and criteria
- Self-organisation, as a mechanism to design artificial systems
- Software engineering, to build such systems
- Application to collective robotics, space systems, UAVs
