Mission Level Uncertainty in Multi-Agent Resource Allocation
Rohit Konda, Rahul Chandan, Jason R. Marden
In recent years, a significant research effort has been devoted to the design of distributed protocols for the control of multi-agent systems, as the scale and limited communicatio…
Balancing Asymptotic and Transient Efficiency Guarantees in Set Covering Games
Rohit Konda, Rahul Chandan, David Grimsman +1
Game theoretic approaches have gained traction as robust methodologies for designing distributed local algorithms that induce a desired overall system configuration in multi-agent…
The Division of Assets in Multiagent Systems: A Case Study in Team Blotto Games
Keith Paarporn, Rahul Chandan, Mahnoosh Alizadeh +1
Multi-agent systems are designed to concurrently accomplish a diverse set of tasks at unprecedented scale. Here, the central problems faced by a system operator are to decide (i) h…
Tractable mechanisms for computing near-optimal utility functions
Rahul Chandan, Dario Paccagnan, Jason R. Marden
Large scale multiagent systems must rely on distributed decision making, as centralized coordination is either impractical or impossible. Recent works approach this problem under a…
When showing your hand pays off: Announcing strategic intentions in Colonel Blotto games
Rahul Chandan, Keith Paarporn, Jason R. Marden
In competitive adversarial environments, it is often advantageous to obfuscate one's strategies or capabilities. However, revealing one's strategic intentions may shift the dynamic…
Optimal Taxes in Atomic Congestion Games
Dario Paccagnan, Rahul Chandan, Bryce L Ferguson +1
How can we design mechanisms to promote efficient use of shared resources? Here, we answer this question in relation to the well-studied class of atomic congestion games, used to m…
