Welcome to our homepage! We study a specific type of self-organising multi-agent system, in which the agentive components voluntarily regulate their own behaviour according to a set of socially-constructed, mutually-agreed, and mutable social arrangements.
With an emphasis on inter-disciplinary research (working with theories from philosophy, psychology and political science), various AI techniques are used in this study, including machine reasoning, machine learning, and hybrid systems.
A range of applications are targeted, including cyber-physical systems with interacting computational intelligences, socio-technical systems with interacting human (natural) and computational (artificial) intelligences, and simulation of both.
The fundamental goal of this research is to develop algorithmic theories of successful collective action for sustainability, distributive justice and legitimate governance.
We are a part of the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College London.
