PROJECT TITLE :

Interacting with Networks: How Does Structure Relate to Controllability in Single-Leader, Consensus Networks?

ABSTRACT :

As networked dynamical systems seem around us at an increasing rate, queries concerning the way to manage and management such systems are becoming additional necessary. Examples embody multiagent robotics, distributed sensor networks, interconnected manufacturing chains, and knowledge networks. In response to this growth, a significant body of work has emerged focusing on how to organize such networks to facilitate their control and make them amenable to human interactions. In this text, we summarize these activities by connecting the network topology, that's, the layout of the interconnections in the network, to the classic notion of controllability.
