Topical Outline
The course will be divided into five parts, corresponding to the following topics:
(1) Network Models (graphs, random graphs, random geometric graphs, state-dependent graphs, switching networks)
(2) Decentralized Control (limited computational, communications, and controls resources in networked control systems)
(3) Multi-Agent Robotics (formation control, sensor and actuation models)
(4) Mobile Sensor Networks (coverage control, voronoi-based cooperation strategies)
(5) LANdroids (mobile communications networks, connectivity maintenance)
