An immunity-based distributed multiagent-control framework

HICA: A Framework for Distributed Multiagent Control

A control enhancement to the intelligent agent paradigm is proposed. We refer to this as the Hybrid Intelligent Control Agent (HICA) since it conceptually wraps an intelligent agent around a core that is itself a hybrid control system. This paper discusses the HICA agent and shows how it might be used as a skeletal control agent to synthesize agent-based controllers for inherently distributed m...

Multiagent - Based Control Systems : a Hybridapproach to Distributed Process Control ?

This paper presents a general architecture and a platform developed to implement distributed applications as a set of cooperating intelligent agents. It also shows how this architecture has been used to implement a distributed control system for a complex process: the economic control of a fossil-fuel red power plant. Agents in this application encapsulate diierent distributed hardware/software...

Distributed Receding Horizon Control of Multiagent Systems

Multiagent systems arise in several domains of engineering. Examples include arrays of mobile sensor networks for aggregate imagery, autonomous highways, and formations of unmanned aerial vehicles. In these contexts, agents are governed by vehicle dynamics and often constraints, and the control objective is achieved by cooperation. Cooperation refers to the agreement of the agents to 1) have a ...

Multiagent Systems for Distributed Intelligent Control

Resilience-Based Framework for Distributed Generation Planning in Distribution Networks

Events with low probability and high impact, which annually cause high damages, seriously threaten the health of the distribution networks. Hence, more attention to the issue of enhancing network resilience and continuity of power supply, feels more than ever, all over the world. In modern distribution networks, because of the increasing presence of distributed generation resources, an alternat...
