Large systems of agents deployed in a real-world environment face threats to their problem solving performance that are independent of the complexity of the problem or the charact...
This paper examines the decentralized formation of groups within a peer-to-peer multi-agent system. More specifically, it frames group formation as a clustering problem, and exami...

The emerging science of simulation enables us to explore the dynamics of large and complex systems even if a formal representation and analysis of the system is intractable and a ...
The paper proposes decentralized deconfliction algorithms deployed on multiple autonomous aerial vehicles in freeflight operations. The paper provides two separate algorithms for ...
