“…An MAS can be considered a cooperative game between agents [ 38 ]. Unlike competing with others [ 39 ], agents in cooperative games aim to solve a common task or maximizing the overall payoff to collaborate with each other. Therefore, from this perspective, the MCA problem can also be considered a profit-sharing problem in cooperative games [ 40 ], for which various methods such as the Shapley method [ 41 ], the core [ 42 , 43 ], Nash bargaining [ 43 ], and bankruptcy [ 44 , 45 ] have been suggested for.…”

In recent years, the development of smart cities has accelerated. There are several issues to handle in smart cities, one of the most important of which is efficient resource allocation. For the modeling of smart cities, multi-agent systems (MASs) can be used. In this paper, an efficient approach is proposed for resource allocation in smart cities based on the multi-agent credit assignment problem (MCA) and bankruptcy game. To this end, the resource allocation problem is mapped to MCA and the bankruptcy game. To solve this problem, first, a task start threshold (TST) constraint is introduced. The MCA turns into a bankruptcy problem upon introducing such a constraint. Therefore, based on the concept of bankruptcy, three methods of TS-Only, TS + MAS, and TS + ExAg are presented to solve the MCA. In addition, this work introduces a multi-score problem (MSP) in which a different reward is offered for solving each part of the problem, and we used it in our experiments to examine the proposed methods. The proposed approach is evaluated based on the learning rate, confidence, expertness, efficiency, certainty, and correctness parameters. The results reveal the better performance of the proposed approach compared to the existing methods in five parameters.

As mankind expands quickly, there is a shortage of energy worldwide. Instead of focusing on the production, transmission, and provision of a particular power source, China has proposed an To address the energy crisis, an integrated energy system is being developed. This system links energy resources and utilizes their complementary benefits. With the development of integrated energy systems, involvement and Engagement is getting increasingly difficult. Game theory, which can successfully address issues arising from multi-agent commerce, is a natural application of the System of integrated energy. This publication gives in-depth information analysis of how the integrated power system has undergone game theory analysis. Initial game situations in integrated power systems are provided, followed by a brief introduction to the evolution of integrated energy, The design and deployment of interconnected power systems issues are outlined, along with game scenarios that take into account the energy production side, supply chain, demand side, and all of these factors. Second, a summary of the fundamental for the integrated energy system, use game theory models is provided. The last topic is examined along with the challenges involved in game theory's potential application to integrated power systems. When applying the newly created game models to the integrated power system, a mixed game is recommended to solve these issues. This study should prove to be an invaluable resource for upcoming scholars in the subject.

“…The organization in MAS opens the collaboration, the competition and also the negotiation. Well-known approaches that use MAS to solve complex problems or simulate real environments are road traffic simulations [17], distributed decision support systems [18], bio-inspired ML-based systems [19], and computer games [20].…”

Customer acquisition is an issue that continues to receive attention from companies worldwide. Various marketing campaigns using psychological methodologies have been designed to address this issue. However, once a campaign is launched, it is highly complicated to detect which sets of customers are most likely to purchase an offered product. This fact is key since it allows companies to focus their efforts on specific clients and discard others. Several selection techniques have been implemented, but most of them are usually very demanding in terms of time and human resources for the companies. Artificial Intelligence techniques appear to help to simplify the process. Thus, companies have started to use Machine Learning (ML) models trained to efficiently detect those clients with certain proneness to purchase. Toward this goal, this paper presents a novel purchase propensity detection ML system based on Sentiment Analysis techniques able to consider customer comments regarding the offered products. The tourist domain was selected for the case study, where the obtained product was successfully embedded in an initial prototype.
