How to Coordinate Decisions at Large Scale? A Hands-on Tutorial on Collective Learning for Smart Cities and Beyond

Abstract

This 1.5-hour tutorial will provide an introduction to the theory and practice of multi-agent collective learning for coordinating distributed decisions at large scale. You will develop the required skills to work with the EPOS software artifact to solve distributed optimization problems in Smart Cities. The tutorial will also promote collaborations within the ACSOS community. PhD students and more senior colleagues are particularly encouraged to participate. No programming experience is required. You are also encouraged to bring in your own multi-agent optimization problem to explore a potential solution using collective learning.
