summaryMultiagent Resource Allocation (MARA), the allocation of resources within a system of autonomous agents that not only have preferences over alternative allocations of resources but also actively participate in computing an allocation, is an exciting area of research at the interface of computer science and economics. On 17-18 June 2010, the (LAMSADE) Lab. at the University Paris-Dauphine will host the 4th MARA Get-Together, an informal workshop on Multiagent Resource Allocation. The meeting is aimed at bringing together researchers working on different aspects of MARA. Topics of interest include languages for modelling agent preferences in resource allocation applications; the study of algorithms for resource allocation (including combinatorial auctions and distributed negotiation schemes); complexity issues; simulation and experiments; and connections to work in social choice theory and fair division. The workshop is made possible through financial support from the European COST Action IC0602 on Algorithmic Decision Theory and continues the tradition of the AgentLink Technical Forum Group on Multiagent Resource Allocation (TFG-MARA), with previous meetings in Ljubljana, Budapest, and the 3rd MARA Get-Together in Amsterdam. In 2006, the group has published the MARA Survey (Informatica, 30:3-31, 2006). The workshop will also be the occasion to present some of the works conducted with support of the GDR-RO project "Compléxité et Résolution Exacte ou approchée de Problèmes de Partage Equitable" (CREPES).
