Abstract
- The traditional use of global and centralised control methods fails for large, complex, noisy and highly connected systems, which typify many real-world industrial and commercial systems. This paper provides an efficient bottom-up design of distributed control in which many simple components communicate and cooperate to achieve a joint system goal. Each component acts individually so as to maximise personal utility whilst obtaining probabilistic information on the global system merely through local message-passing. This leads to an implied scalable and collective control strategy for complex dynamical systems, without the problems of global centralised control. Robustness is addressed by employing a fully probabilistic design, which can cope with inherent uncertainties, can be implemented adaptively and opens a systematic rich way to information sharing. This paper opens the foreseen direction and inspects the proposed design on a linearised version of coupled map lattice with spatio-temporal chaos. A version close to linear quadratic design gives an initial insight into possible behaviours of such networks.
