This paper studies the minimum time consensus problem for discrete-time multi-agent systems with complex Laplacian delay networks such that each agent can find its value in a number of steps using local observations. The stability analysis is first provided and convergence condition derived weighted delays. Specifically, delayed system modeled by employing augmented graph representation. Via ad...

Modelling of complex systems is mainly based on the decomposition of these systems in autonomous elements, and the identification and definitio9n of possible interactions between these elements. For this, the agent-based approach is a modelling solution often proposed. Complexity can also be due to external events or internal to systems, whose main characteristics are uncertainty, imprecision, ...

One of the most appealing features of multiagent technology is its natural way to modularise a complex system in terms of multiple, interacting and autonomous components. As a natural extension of classes, castes introduced in the formal specification language SLAB provide a language facility that provides modularity in the formal specification of multiagent systems. A caste represents a set of...
