Multi-Agent Systems: Platoon Control and Non-Fragile Quantized Consensus aims to present recent research results in designing platoon control and non-fragile quantized consensus for multi-agent systems. The main feature of this book is that distributed adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) algorithms are proposed to guarantee strong string stability based on modified constant time headway (MCTH) policy. The MCTH policy is used to remove the unrealistic assumption in the most existing literature that initial spacing, velocity and acceleration errors are zero. This monograph investigates the platoon control issue by combining SMC technique with neural network and fuzzy logic system approximation methods.
Earlier surveys include Cassady[1967],Wilson [1987a], and McAfee and MacMillan[1987]. These texts cover most of the canonical single-good and multi-unit auction types we discuss in the chapter. (One exception is the elimination auction, ...
The next step was to introduce 'true' parallelism into the architecture, by allowing multiple blackboard systems to communicate by message passing: Lesser and Erman did this in the late 1970s, still working within the Hearsay problem ...
This book constitutes the revised post-conference proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems, EUMAS 2021.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Explainable, Transparent Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, EXTRAAMAS 2019, held in Montreal, Canada, in May 2019.
The book brings together the 3 key fields of current and future data-processing: distributed systems and applications, parallel scientific computing, and real-time and manufacturing systems.
This book originates from the First International Workshop on Environments for Multi-Agent Systems, E4MAS 2004, held in New York, NY, USA in July 2004 as a satellite workshop of AAMAS 2004.
This book presents a coherent and well-balanced survey of recent advances in software engineering approaches to the design and analysis of realistic large-scale multi-agent systems (MAS).
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Programming Multi-Agent Systems, ProMAS 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA, in May 2007 as an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the 6th International ...
Fifteen papers were presented at the first workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Agent-Based Simulation held as part of the Agents World conference in Paris, July 4-- 6, 1998.
The book deals with UGVs, UAVs, UUVs and spacecraft, and more. It presents an extended exposition of the authors’ recent work on all aspects of multi-agent technology.
