Brief Biography: Dr. Sombattheera received his Bachelor of Computer Science from Ramkhamhaeng University, Thailand in 1992. He spent three years working for Control Data Thailand maintaining the AFFIS (Automatic Face and Fingerprint Identification System) project of the Ministry of Interior of Thailand. In 1995, he began his long journey in Australia. He obtained a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science from the University of Western Australia in 1996 and Master of Information Technology in 1998 from The University of Sydney. After that, he worked as a business developer for a couple of companies in Sydney, including Alstom IT. In 2001, the wind of change blew him back to Thailand where became a lecturer at Mahasarakham University—a place near his hometown—and holds his affiliation there ever since. In 2003, he headed back to Australia for his PhD at the University of Wollongong in NSW. His thesis focuses on optimal coalition structure, an important area of multiagent systems, and its application to real world problems. Since his return to Mahasarakham in 2008, he has done both administrative and academic works. In administration, he was appointed as Assistant Dean and Associate Dean for research and international relation. In academic work, he has founded the Multiagent and Intelligent Systems Laboratory (MISL). He and his group have won many research grants from both government agencies and companies in multiple industries. The most recent projects are in defense industry where multiagent systems are very important and useful.

Title: Introduction to Coalition Formation

Abstract: Coalition formation is an important area of research in multiagent systems because it can efficiently handle complexity of problems in the real world. It addresses underpinning theories, known as solution concepts, which bring about stable states to the system. While the complexity of the real world problem has been consistently increasing, classical centralized techniques fall short of ability to handle them. Coalition formation offers distributed approaches, which leverage individual abilities of agents in the system and combine them to unleash the unprecedented power to help solve the complex problems efficiently. In this tutorial, I will cover three classical solution concepts in coalition formation, namely, kernel, the core, and Shapley value. Then, I will show, in my research, how these solution concepts can be applied to handle complexity in real world problems.
