MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS: THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The past few years have seen remarkable strides in the area of networked control systems. Many of these results focus on the derivation of algorithms for distributed optimization that provide strong asymptotic and transient guarantees with regards to the eciency of the emergent collective behavior. However, most of these results rely on highly structured problem settings that may have limited applicability to engineering-based systems, e.g., consensus style problems or more general convex system-level objectives. The goal of this proposal is to advance the eld of network control systems by considering the design of distributed control policies for alternative classes of problem formulations highly relevant to the Air Force and Department of Defense, e.g., submodular optimization, and to explicitly capture the role of information within.
