Innovating multiagent algorithms for smart city: An overview

This research tackles the grand challenge on establishing multi-agent based computational social mechanism design theories, in which we focus on developing novel social systems and mechanisms that are globally optimized by using computers and networks, and apply them to society simulations and real world applications. This research tries to enable to construct a globally-optimized social systems, which have not been realized yet, by using new multi-agent algorithms that employ pricing mechanisms, matching mechanisms, and scoring mechanisms with the computing power and network infrastructures. In this paper, we introduce the overall vision of this project and present some of the current research results. This research has been supported by Funding Program for Next Generation World-Leading Researchers (NEXT Program) of the Japan Cabinet Office.
