    • Cooperative Control of Nonlinear Multiagent Systems

      Passivity-Based and Non-Passivity-Based Approaches
      • 1st Edition
      • Jin-Liang Wang + 3 more
      • English
      Cooperative Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems: Passivity-Based and Non-Passivity-Based Approaches focuses on the cooperative control of nonlinear multiagent systems containing passivity-based or non-passivity-based consensus, lag consensus, and formation control of multiagent systems. The book provides professional and convenient guidance for those who want to know basic knowledge, advancements, and processes for designing and analyzing cooperative control for nonlinear multiagent systems.Currently, there are a lack of reference titles that systematically introduce students, researchers, and technologists to the backgrounds, developments, and designs protocols for cooperative control (contains passivity-based or not passivity-based consensus, lag consensus, formation control) of nonlinear multiagent systems.

      • English
      The twenty-seven papers cover recent advances in both empirical and theoretical aspects of man-machine interaction with special emphasis on the subjects of man-automation and man-computer interaction. They provide information on a subject which has grown rapidly in importance during recent years.

    • Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Man-Machine Systems 1998

      • 1st Edition

      Automatic machines or smart robots are interconnected with distributed knowledge bases by nation- or world wide digital networks. They are supporting human life in various places, at the same time saving energy and resources. Technology and economic development are effecting rapid changes depending on the fields, regions and culture to the way people interact with the systems, while sometimes keeping, otherwise forsaking their own traditions. Man machine systems have to create new interaction styles between human and machine intelligence, support cooperation among different organizations and enhance situation understanding for the long and short term, or remote and local activities regarding performance, safety, security and satisfaction. The seventh IFAC/IFIP/IFORS/IEA symposium on Analysis, Design and Evaluation of Man-Machine Systems was held in Kyoto on September 16-18, 1998. At the symposium, 99 papers were presented including four plenary papers among 131 submissions.
