As multi-agent systems are becoming more and more important, my strong belief is that it is important to develop a theory of learning agents in strategic processes, a theory that would explain how an agent's beliefs about the environment (which includes the behavior of others insofar as it affects him) evolve until they have come to agree with the actual properties of the environment. This opens new perspectives on the interaction of game theory and learning theory. Modeling asymmetries in knowledge, in abilities and in perceptions of a cooperative situation by different agents is a fascinating challenge for future research, which models of "bounded rationality" have begun to tackle. I am convinced that inductive algorithms will become increasingly important for the development of multi-agents systems. Applications range from economics to social and management sciences and software (computable) agents that interact by negotiation with other agents in the World Wide Web

Abstract
As multi-agent systems are becoming more and more important, my strong belief is that it is important to develop a theory of learning agents in strategic processes, a theory that would explain how an agent's beliefs about the environment (which includes the behavior of others insofar as it affects him) evolve until they have come to agree with the actual properties of the environment. This opens new perspectives on the interaction of game theory and learning theory. Modeling asymmetries in knowledge, in abilities and in perceptions of a cooperative situation by different agents is a fascinating challenge for future research, which models of "bounded rationality" have begun to tackle. I am convinced that inductive algorithms will become increasingly important for the development of multi-agents systems.
