Towards Building Agreement Spaces using Consensus Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
If a set of agents tries to reach an agreement, there will exist an Agreement Space that models the maximum valid space according to the individual constraints of each agent, regarding the terms of the agreement. Previous approaches to Agreement Spaces model them by means of a Counsellor Agent that will help to agents trying to obtain an agreement knowing all the possible terms in that agreement, and monitoring such Agreement Space as it is being built. But, what happens when there is no Counsellor Agent? Is there any way of modeling such space in a distributed way by the different agents trying to achieve such agreement? This paper presents a possible solution to that question using a Consensus Network to build such Agreement Space, allowing to know if there are possibilities to achieve an agreement or not.

Dynamic Average Consensus under Limited Control Authority and Privacy Requirements
This paper introduces a novel continuous-time dynamic average consensus algorithm for networks whose interaction is described by a strongly connected and weight-balanced directed graph. The proposed distributed algorithm allows agents to track the average of their dynamic inputs with some steady-state error whose size can be controlled using a design parameter. This steady-state error vanishes ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a Consensus Algorithm Combining Stochastic Activity Networks and Measurements
Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done to analyze their performance. This paper represents a starting point for such studies, by focusing on the consensus problem, a problem related to most other agreement problems. The paper analyzes the latency of a conse...
متن کاملFour Challenges That Global Health Networks Face
Global health networks, webs of individuals and organizations with a shared concern for a particular condition, have proliferated over the past quarter century. They differ in their effectiveness, a factor that may help explain why resource allocations vary across health conditions and do not correspond closely with disease burden. Drawing on findings from recently concluded studies of eight gl...
متن کاملIntegration of Color Features and Artificial Neural Networks for In-field Recognition of Saffron Flower
ABSTRACT-Manual harvesting of saffron as a laborious and exhausting job; it not only raises production costs, but also reduces the quality due to contaminations. Saffron quality could be enhanced if automated harvesting is substituted. As the main step towards designing a saffron harvester robot, an appropriate algorithm was developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recogn...
متن کاملAdaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks
This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...
