Messaging is a basic service in sensor networks (a.k.a, sensornets). Yet the unique system and application properties of sensornets pose substantial challenges for the messaging design: 1) dynamic wireless links, constrained resources, and application diversity challenge the architecture and protocol design of sensornet messaging; and 2) complex faults and large system scale introduce new challenges to the design of fault-tolerant protocols. To address the aforementioned challenges, this book examines the architecture of sensornet messaging, identifies the design principles of dependable...

Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems extends optimal control and adaptive control design methods to multi-agent systems on communication graphs. It develops Riccati design techniques for general linear dynamics for cooperative state feedback design, cooperative observer design, and cooperative dynamic output feedback design. Both continuous-time and discrete-time dynamical multi-agent systems are treated. Optimal cooperative control is introduced and neural adaptive design techniques for multi-agent nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics, which are rarely treated in...
