AIDRC Seminar Series - Dr. Samson Lasaulce

Title:

Communicating in the presence of goals

Abstract:

In In this talk, I summarize several research works I did with my colleagues on the communication problem between two entities when each entity has a goal which is represented by an arbitrary function. This approach concerns goal-oriented communications, coordination in distributed networks (common goals), and strategic information transmissions (generally non-aligned goals).
