"This book gives a comprehensive overview of the intersection between ILC and MAS, the range of topics include basic to advanced theories, rigorous mathematics to engineering practice, and linear to nonlinear systems. It addresses the crucial multi-agent coordination and control challenges that can be solved by ILC methods. Through systematic discussion of network theory and intelligent control, the authors explore future research possibilities, develop new tools, and provide numerous applications such as the power grid, communication and sensor networks, intelligent transportation system, and formation control. Readers will gain a roadmap to the latest advances in the fields and use their newfound knowledge to design their own algorithms"-- Provided by publisher.
