    Neighbourhood Monitoring for Decentralised Coordination in Multi-Agent Systems: A Case-Study

    TitleNeighbourhood Monitoring for Decentralised Coordination in Multi-Agent Systems: A Case-Study
    Publication TypeConference Paper
    Year of Publication2011
    Conference NameIEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications
    AuthorsDini, G, Giurlanda, F, Pallottino, L
    KeywordsEmbedded Control, Robotics
    Abstract

    Decentralized coordination of multi-agents requires that every agent reliably and efficiently disseminates its state to neighbours
    through a wireless network. If dissemination is unreliable, safety issues may ensue. Unfortunately, the broadcast service of
    wireless network is efficient but unreliable (e. g., IEEE 802.11). The Neighbourhood Monitoring Protocol (NMP) [1] is an efficient
    and scalable protocol that assures a reliable state dissemination between mobile agents, under some conditions of channel
    utilization. NMP runs on top of IEEE 802.

    Context is everything and Joni’s achievement in crafting such a magnificent record as The Hissing of Summer Lawnswas tainted by the negative reaction of music critics at the time, a reaction which now looks foolish.

    The author Leonore Fleischer concluded her 1976 biography ‘Joni Mitchell – Her life, her loves, her music’, at the moment when Joni had just released The Hissing of Summer Lawns. It is interesting to note how the tone of the book changed at this point, as if the biographer was perplexed by the shift in her musical style.

    Fleischer did a good job of dissecting the song lyrics, but her asides displayed her doubts as to the quality of the music. For example, she comments that Joni must have expected the puzzled reaction of fans, “for her dedication of this album fryst vatten so long and so rambling as to be almost an apologia.” You can feel the sense of betrayal.

    The biographer notes that with her previous album Court and Spark, &#
