A cooperative system is a collection of dynamical objects, which communicate and cooperate in order to achieve a common or shared objective. The cooperation of entities is achieved through communication; either explicitly by message passing, or implicitly via observation of another entities’ state. As in natural systems, cooperation may assume a hierarchical form and the control processes may be distributed or decentralized. Due to the dynamic nature of individuals and the interaction between them, the problems associated with cooperative systems typically involve many uncertaint

Over the past several years, cooperative control and optimization has unquestionably been established as one of the most important areas of research in the military sciences. Even so, cooperative control and optimization transcends the military in its scope - having become quite relevant to a broad class of systems with many exciting commercial applications. One reason for all the excitement is that research has been so incredibly diverse - spanning many scientific and engineering disciplines. This latest volume in the "Cooperative Systems" book series clearly illustrates this trend towards di

In this book applications of cooperative game theory that arise from combinatorial optimization problems are described. It is well known that the mathematical modeling of various real-world decision-making situations gives rise to combinatorial optimization problems. For situations where more than one decision-maker is involved classical combinatorial optimization theory does not suffice and it is here that cooperative game theory can make an important contribution. If a group of decision-makers decide to undertake a project together in order to increase the total revenue or decrease

Cooperative, collaborating autonomous systems are at the forefront of research efforts in numerous disciplines across the applied sciences. There is constant progress in solution techniques for these systems. However, despite this progress, cooperating systems have continued to be extremely difficult to model, analyze, and solve. Theoretical results are very difficult to come by. Each year, the International Conference on Cooperative Control and Optimization (CCO) brings together top researchers from around the world to present new, cutting-edge, ideas, theories, applications, and advances in
