CoMas26 Summer School focuses on cooperative multi-agent systems, a key enabler of modern autonomous and cyber-physical technologies. From robotics and urban mobility to space applications, it addresses challenges in coordination, decision-making, and learning under uncertainty.
ACTIVITIES
Interactive lectures
CoMAS26 will feature a total of 10 highly interactive lectures provided by internationally recognized speakers in the field of control, learning, and estimation for multi-agent systems.
team-based challenge
The core of the Scholl will be a contest of ideas in which heterogeneous teams will develop an innovative idea to solve a problem in a significant technical scenario under specific constraints.
final poster session & award
The teams of participants will present their ideas during a final poster session. The evaluation committee will grant the winning team a paid registration to an IEEE or IFAC control-related conference.
networking
CoMAS26 will provide a space for open, technical discussions among students, instructors, and invited speakers through the contest of ideas, the poster session, and the extra-curricular activities.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
CoMAS26 brings together leading researchers from top international institutions, covering key areas of cooperative multi-agent systems, control, and distributed intelligence. The program features a keynote lecture and a selection of invited speakers, offering participants direct exposure to cutting-edge research and diverse perspectives. All lectures will consist of 1 hour of frontal teaching and 30 minutes of interactive learning.
Keynote Speaker: “Multi-agent optimization under uncertainty: probabilistic robustness in a data-based privacy preserving framework ”, Maria Prandini, IFAC President .
