This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support collaborative research to develop trustworthy and resilient coordination mechanisms for multi-agent systems (CFDA 47.070). The project aims to revolutionize multi-agent systems (MAS) by creating intelligent coordination algorithms capable of maintaining performance and safety, even in the presence of uncertainty, failure, or conflict. Key research efforts will focus on: 1) designing algorithms to detect and mitigate abnormal agent behaviors, 2) managing adversarial or non-cooperative agents using game theory and adversarial machine learning, and 3) enabling resilient coordination among diverse agents through robust distributed control frameworks. This research is expected to advance foundational knowledge and lay the groundwork for building reliable autonomous systems that can be deployed in complex, real-world scenarios such as transportation, disaster response, and smart infrastructure. The award was granted to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation, a non-profit organization designated as a minority institution and Hispanic-serving educational institution.
