Network management systems based on mobile agents are efficiently a better alternative than typical client/server based architectures. Centralized management models like SNMP or CMIP based management models suffer from scalability and…

The rise of microgrid-based architectures is heavily modifying the energy control landscape in distribution systems making distributed control mechanisms necessary to ensure reliable power system operations. In this paper, we propose the…

We formulate computation offloading as a decentralized decision-making problem with autonomous agents. We design an interaction mechanism that incentivizes agents to align private and system goals by balancing between competition and…

An important class of cyber-physical systems relies on multiple agents that jointly perform a task by coordinating their actions over a wireless network. Examples include self-driving cars in intelligent transportation and production robots…

This paper studies the distributed control and estimation of multi-agent systems based on bearing information. In particular, we consider two problems: (i) the distributed control of bearing-constrained formations using relative position…

We present a distributed agent based system used to monitor, configure and control complex, large scale data transfers in the Wide Area Network. The Localhost Information Service Agent (LISA) is a lightweight dynamic service that provides…

The development of renewable energy generation empowers microgrids to generate electricity to supply itself and to trade the surplus on energy markets. To minimize the overall cost, a microgrid must determine how to schedule its energy…

In this work we consider a generalization of the well-known multivehicle routing problem: given a network, a set of agents occupying a subset of its nodes, and a set of tasks, we seek a minimum cost sequence of movements subject to the…

This paper proposes networked dynamics to solve resource allocation problems over time-varying multi-agent networks. The state of each agent represents the amount of used resources (or produced utilities) while the total amount of resources…

The behavior of heterogeneous multi-agent systems is studied when the coupling matrices are possibly all different and/or singular, that is, its rank is less than the system dimension. Rank-deficient coupling allows exchange of limited…

This paper addresses the problem of decentralized abstractions for multiple mobile manipulators with 2nd order dynamics. In particular, we propose decentralized controllers for the navigation of each agent among predefined regions of…

Mobile autonomous system (MAS) becomes pervasive especially in the vehicular and robotic networks. Multiple heterogeneous MAS networks can be integrated together as a multi-layer MAS network to offer holistic services. The network…

The problem of minimizing mean response time of generic jobs submitted to a heterogenous distributed computer systems is considered in this paper. A static load balancing strategy, in which decision of redistribution of loads does not…

In this paper, we propose a distributed state-and-fault estimation scheme for multi-agent systems. The proposed estimator is based on an $\ell_1$-norm optimization problem, which is inspired by sparse signal recovery in the field of…

This paper presents a novel distributed robust optimization scheme for steering distributions of multi-agent systems under stochastic and deterministic uncertainty. Robust optimization is a subfield of optimization which aims to discover an…

This paper presents a novel distributed low-rank scheme and adaptive algorithms for distributed estimation over wireless networks. The proposed distributed scheme is based on a transformation that performs dimensionality reduction at each…

Several Mobile Agent based distributed network management models have been proposed in recent times to address the scalability and flexibility problems of centralized (SNMP or CMIP management models) models. Though the use of Mobile Agents…

In this paper, we investigate the distributed optimal control problem for a kind of nonlinear multi-agent systems. In particular,both the state and the system dynamic structures of each agent are private and can only be shared among…

We present here a cost effective framework for a robust scalable and distributed job processing system that adapts to the dynamic computing needs easily with efficient load balancing for heterogeneous systems. The design is such that each…

Current-day data centers and high-volume cloud services employ a broad set of heterogeneous servers. In such settings, client requests typically arrive at multiple entry points, and dispatching them to servers is an urgent distributed…
