Abstract :
An optimization approach to distributed intelligent system design and control is presented. It is expected to enhance the autonomous decision-making capabilities of systems functioning as members of a team. It is applicable to autonomous distributed agents within homogeneous or heterogeneous clusters, when they must collaborate as a team to achieve a common goal. This approach inherently supports situation awareness, collision avoidance, and operations in a complex environment that may experience both degraded communications and sensor failures.
