Concurrent Game

Concurrent games model multi-agent systems where agents simultaneously choose actions, influencing a shared outcome. Research focuses on analyzing strategic abilities using formal logics like ATL* and its extensions, developing algorithms for computing equilibria (e.g., Nash equilibria and the core) in various game structures, and designing incentive mechanisms to achieve desired outcomes. This field is crucial for verifying the correctness and robustness of multi-agent systems, with applications ranging from cooperative AI to security protocol analysis and mechanism design.
