IAS: Learning, planning and resource allocation for intelligent, strategic agents
Research Objectives
Combining expertise from both mathematics (e.g. stochastics, game theory, operation research) and computer science (artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computation), IAS researchers conduct research in:
- Data-efficient, robust, transferable and explainable learning, planning and resource allocation in multi-agent systems.
More information and research projects - Multi-Agent Systems and Human-AI collectives (HAIC): investigating strategic and emergent behavior in multi-agents systems or collectives comprising both humans and AI agents, involving research topics ranging from negotiation and opponent modeling, to auction bidding, mechanism design and collective decision making.
More information and research projects - Explainable and Responsible AI
More information and research projects - Fundamental problems inspired by applications to energy systems, logistics, negotiations, and games as general models of strategic interactions.

Research: Motivation and Context
In our research group, we study generic and fundamental mechanisms that enable the emergence of various degrees of organization, intelligence and autonomy in such systems, and apply them to concrete problems of societal relevance.
Opportunities and Community Building
- Seminars For more information on our seminars, visit the seminar webpage.
- Internships We invite talented Master's and PhD candidates to have a look at our internships.
- Supporting the AI community We strongly believe that successful research is a community effort to which we want to contribute:

Best Paper award for Tim Baarslag and Michael Kaisers
Tim Baarslag and Michael Kaisers of CWI's Intelligent & Autonomous Systems group have been awarded the Best Paper award at the IEEE International Conference on Communications, Control, and Computing Technologies for Smart Grids.
Reinforcing the electricity grid with Evolutionary Algorithms
In our modern daily life, many activities require electricity, for example, the use of domestic appliances, manufacturing, communication, and transportation. It is therefore essential to maintain a reliable supply of electricity to ensure the operation of such activities.
CWI and Acumex join forces on the development of online negotiation technology
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science, has agreed on a long-term research collaboration with Acumex to make autonomous online negotiation of complex goods a reality.
Tim Baarslag finalist for New Scientist Wetenschapstalent 2018
Tim Baarslag, researcher at the Intelligent and Autonomous Systems group at CWI, is one of the five finalists for the ‘New Scientist Wetenschapstalent 2018’ prize. This prize is awarded annually by New Scientist to a young researcher with a high scientific and social impact who reaches a broad audience through his or her outreach activities.
