Multi-agent systems (MAS) are computational frameworks comprising multiple autonomous agents that interact and collaborate to achieve individual or collective goals. Over the years, MAS have gained significant traction in control engineering and information science due to their inherent scalability, adaptability, and resilience. These systems excel in solving complex, distributed problems in dynamic environments where traditional centralized approaches often fail. In control engineering, MAS provides robust solutions for distributed control, synchronization, and optimization tasks across industries such as energy, transportation, and robotics. They empower systems like smart grids, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation to function cohesively, even under uncertain and rapidly changing conditions. Similarly, in information science, MAS enables intelligent data processing, decision-making, and simulation across domains, including social networks, IoT, and cybersecurity. The integration of advanced computational models such as machine learning, game theory, and reinforcement learning into MAS has further enhanced their capabilities. These computational methods allow agents to learn, adapt, and make intelligent decisions in real-time, making MAS a cornerstone for innovation in intelligent systems. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative computational models and practical applications of MAS in control engineering and information science. Highlighting the intersection of these fields will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present cutting-edge advancements, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and pave the way for future developments in this dynamic area.
