报告题目：Multi-agent Systems: Introduction, Analysis and Design

内容简介：Multi-agent Systems (MAS) are systems with characteristics of cooperation and decentralization. The agents need to cooperate in a distributed manner to achieve a common goal. Three main topics within the realm of multi-agent systems are consensus, flocking and formation control. Cooperating processes often require agents to reach a consensus, which is the fundamental problem in multi-agent systems. Flocking or swarming is a self-organizing behavior deriving from small-size animals with lower intelligence, which enables the emergence of swarm intelligence to improve the whole system survivability and competitiveness. Formation control generally aims to drive multiple agents to achieve a desired scalable formation or time-varying formation changing. In this talk, the analysis and design of a variety of distributed schemes for consensus, flocking and formation control are introduced.
