Multi-agent systems have numerous civilian, homeland security, and
military applications; however, for all these applications,
communication bandwidth, sensing range, power constraints, and
stealth requirements preclude centralized command and control. The
alternative is distributed coordination, which is more promising in
terms of scalability, robustness, and flexibility. Distributed
Coordination of Multi-agent Networks introduces problems, models,
and issues such as collective periodic motion coordination,
collective tracking with a dynamic leader, and containment control
with multiple leaders, and explores ideas for their solution.
Solving these problems extends the existing application domains of
multi-agent networks; for example, collective periodic motion
coordination is appropriate for applications involving repetitive
movements, collective tracking guarantees tracking of a dynamic
leader by multiple followers in the presence of reduced interaction
and partial measurements, and containment control enables
maneuvering of multiple followers by multiple leaders. The authors
models for distributed coordination arise from physical constraints
and the complex environments in which multi-agent systems operate;
they include Lagrangian models more realistic for
mechanical-systems modeling than point models and fractional-order
systems which better represent the consequences of environmental
complexity. Other issues addressed in the text include the time
delays inherent in networked systems, optimality concerns
associated with the deisgn of energy-efficent algorithms, and the
use of sampled-data settings in systems with intermittent
neightbor-neighbor contact. Researchers, graduate students, and
engineers interested in the field of multi-agent systems will find
this monograph useful in introducing them to presently emerging
research directions and problems in distributed coordination of
multi-agent networks. The Communications and Control Engineering
series reports major technological advances which have potential
for great impact in the fields of communication and control. It
reflects research in industrial and academic institutions around
the world so that the readership can exploit new possibilities as
they become available.
