Agents at Aberdeen

Agents at Aberdeen

Agents at Aberdeen (A3) is a research theme with a long history of investigating a wide variety of research topics related to autonomous agents, multi-agent systems and knowledge representation and reasoning. Our recent focus has been on exploring resilience, reliability, and coordination in autonomous multi-agent systems. We apply these techniques to a wide range of application domains, including but not limited to: emergency response, healthcare, decision-making in robotic systems, self-driving cars, explainability, and software engineering. 

Areas of active research within the A3 research theme include: 

  • Argumentation 
  • Automated Planning 
  • Autonomous Decision-Making 
  • Beliefs, Desires, and Intentions 
  • Computational Trust 
  • Hybrid / Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence 
  • Normative Reasoning 
  • Plan and Goal Recognition 
  • Verification and Synthesis
