Abstract

Coordination control mechanism, which is a popular cooperative manner in spatially distributed multiple autonomous agents, has been playing important roles in many research fields including animal behavior, physics, biophysics, social sciences, computer science etc. Past decade has witnessed that coordination control of multi-agent system has stimulated more and more research interests for its broad engineering applications including sensor networks, formation control of unmanned vehicles, and air traffic control, etc.
