Thus, much of multiagent research could be considered as algorithmic, or perhaps computational, game theory. There is a new book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521872820?ie=UTF8&tag=multiagentcom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0521872820">Algorithmic Game Theory</a> which collects short articles from the state of the art in this research area.
