The agreement problem is studied whereby a group of mobile agents achieves convergence to a common point. A hierarchical cyclic pursuit scheme is introduced, and it is shown that ...

—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
This paper addresses decentralized multi-project scheduling under uncertainty. The problem instance we study is the scheduling of airport ground handling services, where aircraft ...
We study a deployment strategy for a group of vehicles that drift in an ambient flow field. Specifically, we address the case where the flow is always greater in magnitude than an ...
— We present a decentralized, scalable approach to assembling a group of heterogeneous parts into different products using a swarm of robots. While the assembly plans are predete...
