Model checking multi-agent systems
A multi-agent system (MAS) is usually understood as a system composed of interacting autonomous agents. In this sense, MAS have been employed successfully as a modelling paradigm in a number of scenarios, especially in Computer Science. However, the process of modelling complex and heterogeneous …

Reliable *Control of Multi-Agent *Systems
… semiautonomous and autonomous solutions to multi-agent problems. We first utilize the concept of input-to-state stability to address the problem of semiautonomous control of multi-agent systems, and show that stability of the system is maintained in the presence of unreliable communication …

Distributed LQR control of multi-agent systems
… distributed cooperative control schemes in multi-agent networks. First, the model of a completely connected multi-agent network is presented, consisting of identical dynamically decoupled agents controlled by a centralized LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) based controller. The structure of …

A Flexible Infrastructure for Multi-Agent Systems
Multi-Agent coordination and control has been studied for a long time, but has recently gained more interest because of technology improvements allowing smaller, more versatile robots and other types of agents. To facilitate multi-agent experiments between heterogeneous agents, including robots and …

Scalable Multi-Agent Systems in Restricted Environments
… regularly. Swarms of interconnected robotic agents have been proven to have benefits in scalability, robustness, and efficiency. In communication restricted environments, such teams of robots are often required to support their own navigation, planning, and decision making processes, through …

Algorithms for coalition formation in multi-agent systems
… of coherent groupings of distinct, autonomous, agents in order to efficiently achieve their individual or collective goals. Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in the field of multi-agent systems. Central to this endeavour is the problem of determining which of the …

Dynamics and Phenomena in Stateful Multi-Agent Systems
… the long-run outcomes of complex processes in multi-agent systems. In many cases, such social systems are inherently algorithmic and strategic; in others, agents may act in simpler behavioral ways in response to some underlying randomness in their environment. In real-world settings, of course, …

Consensus in multi-agent systems with time-delays
Different consensus problems in multi-agent systems have been addressed in this thesis. They represent improvements with respect to the state of the art. In the first part of the thesis in luding Chapters 2, 3, and 4, the state of the art of the representation and stability analysis of consensus …

Multi-Agent Systems in Microgrids: Design and Implementation
… power supply alternative. In recent years, multi-agent systems have been proposed to provide intelligent energy control and management systems in microgrids. Multi-agent systems offer their inherent benefits of flexibility, extensibility, autonomy, reduced maintenance and more. The …

Investigation of Communication Constraints in Distributed Multi-Agent Systems
… collision avoidance, a set of investigations of multi-agent system communication constraints have been conducted, including distributed estimation of global features, the influence of jamming, and communication performance optimization. In flocking control, it is necessary to achieve a common …

A trust based approach to mobile multi-agent systems.
… of trust into the paradigm of mobile multi-agent systems. Trust deliberation is a soft security approach to the problem of mobile agent security whereby an agent is protected from the malicious behaviour of others within the system. Using a trust approach capitalises on observing …

Consensus Analysis and Synthesis of Networked Multi-Agent Systems
As one of the major fields, Networked Multi-Agent Systems (NMAS), which deals with the study of how network architecture and interactions among network components influence global control goals, has received widely attention across science and engineering. A usual problem that appears in the …

Rational communication for the coordination of multi-Agent systems
… vehicles) are being tackled by teams of software agents, rather than the more traditional centralised systems. Whilst this approach has many benefits in terms of creating robust solutions, it creates a new challenge — how to flexibly coordinate the actions of the agent teams to solve the problem …

Modeling and evaluation of trusts in Multi-agent systems
… we proposed a novel mechanism to help agents evaluate the trust value of the target agent in the multi-agent systems. We present an approach to help agents construct a trust network automatically in a multi-agent system. After the construction of the trust network, we use the Bayesian …
