Learning Outcomes

The module provides an introduction to game theory and mechanism design, with an emphasis on applications in science engineering. After the lecture, the students know the basic concepts of game theory and learning in games. Moreover, the students can do self-study for expanding their knowledge of game theory. Besides, they can model various engineering scenarios as multi-agent systems, and use game theory to solve the underlying problem. Based on the selected type of the project, they can implement of game-theoretical multi-agent systems using conventional programming languages such as MATLAB, and they can analyze the system using simulation or theory.
