Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to change the everyday life of its users by enabling data
exchanges among pervasive things through the Internet. Such a broad aim, however, puts …

Distributed consensus has been intensively studied in recent years as a means to mitigate
state differences among dynamic nodes on a graph. It has been successfully employed in …

This paper investigates the problem of leader-following output consensus of a linear discrete-
time multi-agent system with input saturation and external disturbances. Low-gain state …

It is important and challenging to achieve accurate clock synchronization in wireless sensor
networks. Various noises, eg, communication delay, clock fluctuation and measurement …

Consensus-based time synchronization, which is built on multi-agent consensus technique,
becomes an important synchronization strategy to achieve accurate time synchronization for …

Time synchronization is one of the key technologies in Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks
(IWSNs), and clustering is widely used in WSNs for data fusion and information collection to …

This paper addresses model predictive control schemes for consensus in multi-agent
systems (MASs) with discrete-time single-integrator dynamics under switching directed …

Slow convergence is a major drawback of average-based consensus time synchronization
protocols, particularly in large or sparse wireless sensor networks. The convergence speed …

Guaranteed cost consensus analysis and design problems for high-dimensional multi-agent
systems with timevarying delays are investigated. The idea of guaranteed cost control is …
