摘 要：As wireless sensing and control become increasingly applicable in elds ranging from real-time alarm systems and vehicle systems to aeronautical guidance and formation control, the need for establishing a theoretical foundation for what is known as networked systems R1 has grown likewise.Any effective effort to develop a theoretical foundation for this relatively new paradigm necessitates pooling together of tools from multiple seemingly disparate disciplines. Some salient aspects of this paradigm, and the challenging issues that arise in this context, which we have addressed in the research supported by this AFOSR grant, are as follows, where the generic term agents is used for entities that are responsible for decision making that leads to actions, be they sensors or controllers or even dynamical systems.
