# Mechanism Design for Multi-Agent Systems: A Survey

- **Authors**: David C. Parkes, Michael P. Wellman
- **Year**: 2008
- **Summary**: This survey provides a comprehensive overview of mechanism design in the context of multi-agent systems. It covers various types of mechanisms (e.g., auctions, voting schemes) and their properties, focusing on how to design rules that elicit desired behaviors from self-interested agents. It's a key reference for designing incentive-compatible systems for AI agents.
