Consensus of Multi-Agent Systems With Unbounded Time-Varying Delays (2010, background): “Distributed coordination of networks with dynamic agents has attracted researchers from various disciplines of engineering and science due to the broad applications of multi-agent systems in many areas, such as the decision making process [3], sensor networks [4], rendezvous tasks [5], the swarming ”
Distributed Adaptive Control of Synchronization in Complex Networks (2012, background): “Another common example of consensus is the rendezvous problem, in which a group of agents meets in a certain manner at a selected point in space, each using only local information about the positions of its nearest neighbors (see [23], [24]).”
