The subject of this thesis is the optimal resolution of decentralized Markov decision processes (DEC-POMDPs). The DEC-POMDP model has been introduced in 2000 and constitutes a formal framework for describing cooperative distributed decision problems under uncertainty. We present a first generalized overview for solving DEC-POMDPs optimally, including game theory, multi-agent planning and reinforcement learning. Our contributions constitute a theoretical approach for building optimal multi-agent systems. Solving DEC-POMDPs can be separated into two categories. If the underlying model of the system is known in advance, the optimal solution can be planned prior execution in a centralized way. We introduce two new planning algorithms. The first...
