Diffusion adaptation over networks

Ali H. Sayed

Adaptive networks are well-suited to perform decentralized information processing and optimization tasks and to model various types of self-organized and complex behavior encountered in nature. Adaptive networks consist of a collection of agents with proce ...

Optimal design of observable multi-agent networks: A structural system approach

Colin Neil Jones, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This paper introduces a method to design observable directed multi-agent networks, that are: 1) either minimal with respect to a communications-related cost function, or 2) idem, under possible failure of direct communication between two agents. An observa ...

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...

Trust beyond reputation: A computational trust model based on stereotypes

Anwitaman Datta, Xin Liu

Models of computational trust support users in taking decisions. They are commonly used to guide users' judgements in online auction sites; or to determine quality of contributions in Web 2.0 sites. However, most existing systems require historical informa ...

Dynamics Modeling and Control Architecture for Efficient, Manoeuvrable and Robust Monoped Hopping over Rough Terrain

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Soha Pouya, Rico Möckel

Leg dynamics and control have been widely studied using mass-spring systems such as the Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model [1]. The SLIP model is commonly accepted as the simplest model that resembles leg dynamics. While simplicity facilitates th ...

Bio-Inspired Decentralized Radio Access Based on Swarming Mechanisms Over Adaptive Networks

Ali H. Sayed

The goal of this paper is to study the learning abilities of adaptive networks in the context of cognitive radio networks and to investigate how well they assist in allocating power and communications resources in the frequency domain. The allocation mecha ...

Incremental Learning using Partial Feedback for Gesture-based Human-Swarm Interaction

In this paper we consider a human-swarm interaction scenario based on hand gestures. We study how the swarm can incrementally learn hand gestures through the interaction with a human instructor providing training gestures and correction feedback. The main ...

Modeling bee swarming behavior through diffusion adaptation with asymmetric information sharing

Ali H. Sayed

Honeybees swarm when they move to a new site for their hive. During the process of swarming, their behavior can be analyzed by classifying them as informed bees or uninformed bees, where the informed bees have some information about the destination while t ...
