Decision making, information aggregation, and consensus in networks Παρασκευή 5 Ιουνίου 2009, 15:00 Αίθουσα Τελετών - Ισόγειο Κτηρίου Διοίκησης ΕΜΠ
Περίληψη ομιλίας: Large engineering or social systems are nowadays described as networks. This has spurred a lot of research activity on mechanisms for aggregating the information that resides at the nodes of a network. We overview some of the thrusts in this literature. We discuss briefly a model of "social learning" by rational (Bayesian) agents. We then consider a set of distributed agents (processors, decision makers, sensors, etc.) who reach consensus through an iterative process involving the exchange and averaging of local values. We discuss a number of models, application contexts, and convergence results.
