The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $150,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop SODA, a framework for decentralized multi-agent artificial intelligence systems that coordinate through peer-to-peer interactions rather than central control. The project develops theoretical and practical advances in self-organizing decentralized agents, addressing scalability bottlenecks and single points of failure inherent in centrally orchestrated multi-agent systems. Work encompasses three research thrusts: decentralized self-organization through peer-based task decomposition and role assignment; a robust serverless training framework enabling agents to learn collaboratively and recover from failures; and simulation-based training and inference for agent societies. The research targets applications in healthcare, transportation, smart grids, smart cities, social simulation, and scientific discovery, and includes education components comprising new course materials, tutorials, workshops, and graduate student training in machine learning, reinforcement learning, optimization, information theory, and responsible artificial intelligence. The Research Foundation serves as the fiscal agent and sponsored programs administrator for SUNY institutions. Performance occurs in Buffalo, New York. The award runs through September 30, 2029.
