: The reliability of a communications network is often evaluated without taking into account the economic consequence of failures. Here a new approach is proposed to assess the eco...
Abstract-- We study the convergence rate of average consensus algorithms in networks with stochastic communication failures. We show how the system dynamics can be modeled by a dis...
The advanced electric power grid is a cyber-physical system comprised of physical components such as transmission lines and generators and a network of embedded systems deployed fo...
This paper presents a class of multi-agent systems where the state of each agent is driven by its own local protocol, and by exogenous time-varying input signal. These inputs may r...
If a groupware system is to be effectively used, especially over a wide-are network such as the Internet, where the quality of networking and computing resources are unpredictable...
