报告摘要：

 The studies of interaction and cooperation of a small number of intelligent agents, for example, the classical intelligent systems, including knowledge bases and solvers, compose the kernel of Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). In other words, group intellectual behavior in DAI is based on individual intellectual behaviors. This means a congruence of the objectives, interests and strategies of different agents, coordination of their actions, and the resolution of conflicts through negotiations. In many scenarios, agents in a MAS model can act cooperatively, competitively or exhibit neutral behaviors. To handle those complexities, it is very useful to borrow ideas from non-cooperative game theory in which emergence of the MAS can be tightly connected to a Nash equilibrium, or rather to the manifold of Nash equilibria. In this talk we will first discuss Turing’s model for the diffusion of morphogens and explore its connection to emergence by self-organization, then we will use formation control as a case study. In a non-cooperative di？erential game framework the desired formation patterns are achieved by Nash equilibrium strategies in an intrinsic way in the sense that they are only attributed to the inter-agent interaction and geometric properties of the network, where the desired formations are not designated directly in the controller. The form of individual costs is also identical to all agents and is also invariant with the number of agents, which makes the methodology robust and scalable. Furthermore, using this approach the formations are achieved in a distributed way, where only local information is available to each agent.
