Consensus in networks of mobile communicating agents.
Populations of mobile and communicating agents describe a vast array of technological and natural systems, ranging from sensor networks to animal groups. Here, we investigate how a group-level agreement may emerge in the continuously evolving network defined by the local interactions of the moving individuals. We adopt a general scheme of motion in two dimensions and we let the individuals inte...
متن کاملCombatting Maelstroms in Networks of Communicating Agents
Multi-agent systems in which agents can respond to messages by automatically generating and multicasting other messages are inherently vulnerable to a phenomenon that we call a maelstrom. We define a maelstrom to be a self-sustaining chain reaction in which a single message can unintentionally trigger the generation of a rapidly growing, potentially infinite number of messages, quickly incapaci...
متن کاملStabilizing Consensus in Mobile Networks
Inspired by the characteristics of biologically-motivated systems consisting of autonomous agents, we define the notion of stabilizing consensus in fully decentralized and highly dynamic ad hoc systems. Stabilizing consensus requires non-faulty nodes to eventually agree on one of their inputs, but individual nodes do not necessarily know when agreement is reached. First we show that, similar to...
متن کاملDynamic Consensus for Mobile Networks
This work examines several dynamical aspects of average consensus in mobile networks. The results herein allow consensus on general time-varying signals, and allow tracking analysis using standard frequency-domain techniques. Further, the frequency-domain analysis naturally inspires a robust small-gain version of the algorithm, which tolerates arbitrary non-uniform time delays. Finally, we show...
متن کاملA Logical Abstract Machine for Mobile Communicating Agents
In multiagent systems a key success factor is the agent communication language (ACL). The most current trend is to use speech act-based ACLs like FIPA ACL. However such ACLs are semantically too rigid since they impose strong preconditions on both sender and receiver mental states. We present a new approach based on two pairs of synchronized primitives evolving into a flexible and block-structu...
