This paper addresses the problem of decentralized state-tracking in the presence of sensor attacks. We consider a network of nodes where each node has the objective of tracking the state of a linear dynamical system based on its…

We propose Teamwork Synthesis, a version of the distributed synthesis problem with application to teamwork multi-agent systems. We reformulate the distributed synthesis question by dropping the fixed interaction architecture among agents as…

We study the distributed synthesis of policies for multi-agent systems to perform \emph{spatial-temporal} tasks. We formalize the synthesis problem as a \emph{factored} Markov decision process subject to \emph{graph temporal logic}…

Deception is helpful for agents masking their intentions from an observer. We consider a team of agents deceiving their supervisor. The supervisor defines nominal behavior for the agents via reference policies, but the agents share an…

This paper considers the problem of decentralized analysis and control synthesis to verify and ensure properties like stability and dissipativity of a large-scale networked system comprised of linear subsystems interconnected in an…

We study the problem of plan synthesis for multi-agent systems, to achieve complex, high-level, long-term goals that are assigned to each agent individually. As the agents might not be capable of satisfying their respective goals by…

With the advent of 21st century and increasing advancements in the field of technology and connectivity, inter-networking in real-time has achieved great importance. Distributed control and multi-agent paradigm has groped rapidly with…

Despite longstanding interest, controller synthesis remains challenging for networks of heterogeneous, nonlinear agents. Moreover, the requirements for computational scalability and information privacy have become increasingly critical.…

We study the problem of controlling multi-agent systems under a set of signal temporal logic tasks. Signal temporal logic is a formalism that is used to express time and space constraints for dynamical systems. Recent methods to solve the…

We consider the problem of designing distributed controllers to guarantee dissipativity of a networked system comprised of dynamically coupled subsystems. We require that the control synthesis is carried out locally at the subsystem-level,…

This paper presents a fully automated procedure for controller synthesis for a general class of multi-agent systems under coupling constraints. Each agent is modeled with dynamics consisting of two terms: the first one models the coupling…

This paper develops a controller synthesis approach for a multi-agent system (MAS) with intermittent communication. We adopt a leader-follower scheme, where a mobile leader with absolute position sensors switches among a set of followers…

We study the problem of synthesizing a controller for a robot with a surveillance objective, that is, the robot is required to maintain knowledge of the location of a moving, possibly adversarial target. We formulate this problem as a…

Controller synthesis is a theoretical approach to the systematic design of discrete event systems. It constructs a controller to provide feedback and control to the system, ensuring it meets specified control specifications. Traditional…

Given a set of interacting components with non-deterministic variable update and given safety requirements, the goal of priority synthesis is to restrict, by means of priorities, the set of possible interactions in such a way as to…

This paper presents a scalable Bayesian technique for decentralized state estimation from multiple platforms in dynamic environments. As has long been recognized, centralized architectures impose severe scaling limitations for distributed…

Tracking multiple targets in dynamic environments using distributed sensor networks is a fundamental problem in statistical signal processing. In such scenarios, the network of mobile sensors must coordinate their actions to accurately…

Steady-state synthesis aims to construct a policy for a given MDP $D$ such that the long-run average frequencies of visits to the vertices of $D$ satisfy given numerical constraints. This problem is solvable in polynomial time, and…
