Chapter 2 Theoretical Background

2.1 Preliminaries of Distributed Systems

Recently, some great advances have been achieved in the cooperative control of multiagent systems. The research focus is mainly on communication environments which consequently require distributed control design. To this day, some control techniques have been proposed according to different communication conditions, such as time-varying networks [59], [69], subject to measurement noise [63], [66], time delays [62], [10], or disturbances [68], [72].

A future control design may equip agents with embedded micro-processors to collect information from neighboring agents so as to update the controller according to some pre-designed rules. Motivated by this observation, ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
