Distributed Ledger Technologies provide a mechanism to achieve ordering among transactions that are scattered on multiple participants with no prerequisite trust relations. This mechanism is essentially based on the idea of new transactions…
In distributed predictive control structures, communication among agents is required to achieve a consensus and approach an optimal global behavior. Such negotiation mechanisms are sensitive to attacks on these exchanges. This paper…
