Towards Safe Coordination in Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conservative design is the ability of an individual agent to ensure predictability of its overall performance even if some of its actions and interactions may be inherently less predictable or even completely unpredictable. In this paper, we describe the importance of conservative design in cooperative multi-agent systems and briefly characterize the challenges that need to be addressed to achieve this goal.

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 ...
متن کاملVariable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
متن کاملNew Optimization for Reconfigurable Networked Embedded Control Systems
This research paper deals with Distributed Reconfigurable Embedded Control Systems (RECS) which can dynamically follow different behaviors at run-time according to user requirements or any possible evolution in its environment. We optimize a multi-agent architecture for the system in which a Reconfiguration Agent is affected to each device to apply local reconfigurations, and a Coordination Age...
متن کاملArchitectural Design Patterns for Multiagent Coordination
This paper presents our rst step towards agent-oriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi-agent systems. In multi-agent systems, the interactions between the agents are crucial in determining the eeectiveness of the system. Hence the adoption of an appropriate coordination mechanism is pivotal in the design of multi-agent system architectures. This paper does not f...
متن کاملSafe Flocking in Spite of Actuator Faults
The safe flocking problem requires a collection of N mobile agents to (a) converge to and maintain an equi-spaced lattice formation, (b) arrive at a destination, and (c) always maintain a minimum safe separation. Safe flocking in Euclidean spaces is a well-studied and difficult coordination problem. Motivated by real-world deployment of multi-agent systems, this paper studies one-dimensional sa...
