Multiagent systems are those systems that include multiple autonomous entities with either diverging information or diverging interests, or both. This comprehensive introduction to a burgeoning field is written from a computer science perspective, while bringing together ideas from operations research, game theory, economics, logic, and even philosophy and linguistics.
This exciting and pioneering new overview of multiagent systems, which are online systems composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents, i.e., online trading, offers a newly seen computer science perspective on multiagent systems, while integrating ideas from operations research, game theory, economics, logic, and even philosophy and linguistics.
The authors emphasize foundations to create a broad and rigorous treatment of their subject, with thorough presentations of distributed problem solving, game theory, multiagent communication and learning, social choice, mechanism design, auctions, cooperative game theory, and modal logics of knowledge and belief.
For each topic, basic concepts are introduced, examples are given, proofs of key results are offered, and algorithmic considerations are examined. An appendix covers background material in probability theory, classical logic, Markov decision processes and mathematical programming.
Written by two of the leading researchers of this engaging field, this book will surely serve as the reference for researchers in the fastest-growing area of computer science, and be used as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses.

Game Theory: An Open Access Textbook (Giacomo Bonanno)
This book is an introduction to Game Theory. Accessible to anybody with minimum knowledge of mathematics and no prior knowledge of game theory, yet it is also rigorous and includes several proofs.
-
Introduction to Game Theory: a Discovery Approach
This book includes an exploration of the ideas of Game Theory through the rich context of popular culture. It contains sections on applications of the concepts to popular culture. It suggests films, television shows, and novels with themes from game theory.

Game Theory Relaunched (Hardy Hanappi)
The game is on. Do you know how to play? Game Theory sets out to explore what can be said about making decisions which go beyond accepting the rules of a game. New simulation tools and network analysis have made game theory omnipresent these days.
-
Games of No Chance (Richard Nowakowski, editor)
A fascinating look at the mathematics behind games such as checkers, chess, Go, Nim, and Nine-Men Morris. This book deals with combinatorial games, that is, games not involving chance or hidden information.
-
Algorithmic Game Theory (Noam Nisan, et al)
This book covers many of the hottest area of useful new Game Theory research, introducing deep new problems, techniques, and perspectives that demand the attention of economists as well as computer scientists.
-
Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction
Striking an appropriate balance of mathematical and analytical rigor, it teaches game theory by examples - serves as an introduction to game theory for students with no prior game theory knowledge, or with limited background in economics and mathematics.
-
Games, Fixed Points and Mathematical Economics (C. Ewald)
This book gives the reader access to the mathematical techniques involved and goes on to apply fixed point theorems to proving the existence of equilibria for economics and for co-operative and noncooperative games.
