A multiagent system should be capable of fast and flexible decision-making to successfully
manage the uncertainty, variability, and dynamic change encountered when operating in the …

Closed-loop turbulence control is a critical enabler of aerodynamic drag reduction, lift
increase, mixing enhancement, and noise reduction. Current and future applications have …

Optimal sensor and actuator placement is an important unsolved problem in control theory.
Nearly every downstream control decision is affected by these sensor and actuator …

Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

The book aims to present the recent developments in Rational Extended Thermodynamics
(RET) of gases in both classical and relativistic cases. The RET theory is a …

This paper presents a survey of recent research in cooperative control of multivehicle
systems, using a common mathematical framework to allow different methods to be …

A distributed coordinated tracking problem is solved via a variable structure approach when
there exists a dynamic virtual leader who is a neighbor of only a subset of a group of …

A current survey of the emerging field of networked control systems is provided. The aim is to
introduce the fundamental issues involved in designing successful networked control …

Underwater sensor networks are attracting increasing interest from researchers in terrestrial
radio-based sensor networks. There are important physical, technological, and economic …
