I develop novel intelligent approximation algorithms for solving modern problems of CPSs, such as control and verification, by combining advanced statistical methods. it is important for the control algorithms underlying the class of multi-agent CPSs to be resilient to various kinds of attacks, and so it is for my algorithms. I have designed a very general adaptive receding-horizon synthesis approach to planning and control that can be applied to controllable stochastic dynamical systems. Apart from being fast and efficient, it provides statistical guarantees of convergence. The optimization technique based on the best features of Model Predictive Control and Particle Swarm Optimization proves to be robust in finding a winning strategy in the stochastic non-cooperative games against a malicious attacker. The technique can further benefit probabilistic model checkers and real-world CPSs.

Abstract In this paper the general information regarding controlling multi-agent systems has been given. The simulation results of using algorithms, proposed by authors, used for controlling groups of robots servicing the virtual library has been presented. These simulations concerned estimation of following parameters: number of iterations needed to complete a task, average customer service time and average customer awaiting service time in function of number of robots, size of library and number of exchange points.

In the paper, schooling problems based on containment control in multi-agent systems that have static or dynamic leaders under directed and undirected communication topologies are investigated. We propose a periodic impulsive containment control algorithm to realize schooling in multi-agent systems. Both ideal and quantized relative state measurements are considered under this framework. Some necessary and sufficient conditions, which depend on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix that is associated with the communication graph, the impulsive period as well as the gain parameters, are obtained to realize the containment control of schooling. Finally, some numerical simulations are illustrated to verify the theoretical results.
