Abstract
In this paper the multi-agent stochastic systems are considered under randomly switched agents communications topology and noisy information about the current states of neighbouring agents. We study the consensus problem for such systems when controls actions are formed by the local voting protocol (stochastic approximation type algorithm). This protocol is applied to the load balancing distributed computer system and to the system of Unnamed Aerial Vehicles (the UAVs system). Obtained results are important for the control properties analysis of production or logistic networks, multiprocessor or multicomputer networks, etc.
