Preface
The optimal control of cooperating and collaborating systems has continued to see increased research across the military domain. Much of autonomous unmanned vehicle research is presently geared toward cooperative control problems. Other domains (e.g., medical, homeland security, manufacturing, etc.) are also devising strategies for solving cooperative control problems. There have been some novel solutions proposed over the years for solving problems in cooperative control. However, in light of decentralized systems, and the sharing of meaningful information to the participants in the system, cooperative control continues to be one of the most difficult in the applied sciences. Only the continued dedicated research in this area will allow for novel solutions applicable to the current and future problems of cooperative control. This present volume, as well as volumes from previo
