A frequent problem in settings where a unique resource must be shared among users is how to resolve the contention that arises when all of them must use it, but the resource allows only for one user each time. The application of efficient…
In this chapter we look at one of the canonical driving examples for multi-agent systems: average consensus. In this scenario, a group of agents seek to agree on the average of their initial states. Depending on the particular application,…

Solving optimization problems in multi-agent systems (MAS) involves information exchange between agents. These solutions must be robust to delays and errors that arise from an unreliable wireless network which typically connects the MAS. In…
In multi-user wireless packet networks interference, typically modeled as packet collision, is the throughput bottleneck. Users become aware of the interference pattern via feedback and use this information for contention resolution and for…
Multi-agent consensus under jamming attacks is investigated. Specifically, inter-agent communications over a network are assumed to fail at certain times due to jamming of transmissions by a malicious attacker. A new stochastic…
