چکیده
My research goal is to continue to advance the state of the art in multi-agent reinforcement learning. There exist many real world examples of multi-agent domains that I plan to work with in the future, such as fire and emergency response in an wide scale emergency situation (such as an earthquake), vehicle routing and product delivery, passenger pickup, dropoff, and scheduling for taxis, and games such as real-time strategy games with many units on each side of a conflict. All of these domains have something in common: all require multiple agents to coordinate in order to complete multiple tasks.

Introduction Personal goals as a source of—and directive function for—an individual's actions has been a central concept in research on motivation in learning contexts for several decades.
