چکیده

One of the key requirements in collaborating distributed applications is that their sub-systems remain synchronized during their joint operation. With increasing deployment of software ”teams”, composed of distributed applications in complex, dynamic settings, there is an increasing need to also be able respond to failures that occur in their synchronization and coordinated operation, in particular to be able to diagnose the causes for disagreements (synchronization failures) that may occur, in order to facilitate recovery and reestablish collaboration e.g., by automated negotiations. This type of diagnosis is called social diagnosis, since it focuses on finding causes for failures to maintain designerspecified relationships between sub-systems. Naive implementations of social diagnosis processes can require significant computation and communications overhead, which prohibits them from being effective as the number of subsystems is scaled up, or the number of failures to diagnose increases. We thus seek to examine in depth the communication and computation overhead of diagnosis.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

Adaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
