Open multi-agent systems: Gossiping with random arrivals and departures

JM Hendrickx, S Martin - 2017 IEEE 56th Annual Conference …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider open multi-agent systems. Unlike the systems usually studied in the literature,
here agents may join or leave while the process studied takes place. The system …

Dynamic min and max consensus and size estimation of anonymous multiagent networks

D Deplano, M Franceschelli… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, we propose two distributed control protocols for discrete-time multiagent
systems, which solve the dynamic consensus problem on the max value. In this problem …

Stability of open multiagent systems and applications to dynamic consensus

M Franceschelli, P Frasca - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, we consider a class of multiagent network systems that we refer to as open

Stability of multi-dimensional switched systems with an application to open multi-agent systems

M Xue, Y Tang, W Ren, F Qian - Automatica, 2022 - Elsevier
A multi-dimensional switched system or multi-mode multi-dimensional (M 3 D) system
extends the classic switched system by allowing different subsystem dimensions. The …

Proportional dynamic consensus in open multi-agent systems

M Franceschelli, P Frasca - 2018 IEEE Conference on Decision …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we investigate a dynamic consensus problem for an open multi-agent system.
Open multi-agent systems are characterized by a time-varying set of agents connected by a …

Max-consensus in open multi-agent systems with gossip interactions

M Abdelrahim, JM Hendrickx… - 2017 IEEE 56th annual …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the problem of distributed maximum computation in an open multi-agent system,
where agents can leave and arrive during the execution of the algorithm. The main …

Dynamic consensus on the median value in open multi-agent systems

ZAZS Dashti, C Seatzu… - 2019 IEEE 58th …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we consider a dynamic consensus problem in continuous time where the state
variables of the agents track with zero error the median value of a set of time-varying …

A novel mutation analysis-based approach for testing parallel behavioural scenarios in multi-agent systems

NEH Dehimi, AH Benkhalef, Z Tolba - Electronics, 2022 - mdpi.com
In this work, we propose a new test case generation approach that can cover behavioural
scenarios individually in a multi-agent system. The purpose is to identify, in the case of the …

Open multi-agent systems with discrete states and stochastic interactions

VS Varma, IC Morărescu… - IEEE Control Systems …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a multi-agent system in which agents arrive and depart from a network
randomly as a Bernoulli process. Each agent that is active in the network must decide …
