For the first time in IUT, a course on multi-agent systems is being presented by Dr. Manshaei. The course, seen as a much-anticipated sequel to Dr. Manshaei's popular course "Foundations of Game Theory for Computer and Electrical Engineering", is an extension of his introductory course in game theory. The syllabus is largely based on Yoav Shoham and Kevin Leyton-Brown's eponymous canonical text.
