In many multi-agent scenarios, agents must balance both local and global performance and collaboration objectives with the constraints of efficient resource utilization. Here, consensus problems with fixed communication graphs are considered, where agents strive to reach a common decision value in minimum time while simultaneously minimizing a performance cost that measures the deviation of the decision value from the desired value. The paper offers preliminary results on the selection of meaningful decision values that approximate optimal solutions. The proposed approach shows a fast convergence time and also reduces the overall number of information transmissions by the agents in the network.

The article deals with such an important selection of the elements of electronic scheme of the given configuration, when the certain requirements of technical task are satisfied and at the same time the selected optimality criteria reach the extreme value. The gives task has been solved by the method of one-criterion optimization, in particular, the method of center gravity. To formalize the given scheme we have compiled a mathematical model of optimization, which considers the requirements of technical task. The optimal design task of the presented electronic scheme was brought to the task of multi criteria optimization. The computational experiments have been resulted in the Pareto-optimal solutions, from which there was selected a compromise on that corresponds to the minimum capacity, required by the scheme. According to the optimal values of resistors, we have conducted a computerized analysis of the transient process of the given electronic scheme with the help of a computer program Electronics Workbench.

Many researchers have demonstrated that the organizational design employed by an agent system can have a significant, quantitative effect on its performance characteristics. A range of organizational strategies have emerged from this line of research, each with different strengths and weaknesses. In this article we present a survey of the major organizational paradigms used in multi-agent systems. These include hierarchies, holarchies, coalitions, teams, congregations, societies, federations, markets, and matrix organizations. We will provide a description of each, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and provide examples of how they may be instantiated and maintained. This summary will facilitate the comparative evaluation of organizational styles, allowing designers to first recognize the spectrum of possibilities, and then guiding the selection of an appropriate organizational design for a particular domain and environment.
