报告摘要：

A distributed network system (DNS) consists of a large number of small, inexpensive agents deployed over a vast region, in which each agent is capable of collecting, processing information and communication with neighboring agents. Node collaboration is the key for the success of DNSs due to the fact that each node itself is limited by communication range, power, and processing ability.

An interesting aspect of the dynamics in DNSs is that certain types of globally collective behavior emerge from local interactions among the nodes. Consensus in DNSs requires the integration of the stability, control, filtering and sensing aspects of the information processing and computational analysis.

In this talk, we shall present some recent work on the consensus performance of DNS under network induced imperfect communication. These constraints include partial-information transmission, packet loss, time-delay and quantization.
