Many swarm optimization algorithms have been introduced since the early 60's,
Evolutionary Programming to the most recent, Grey Wolf Optimization. All of these algorithms …

Understanding atmospheric transport and dispersal events has an important role in a range
of scenarios. Of particular importance is aiding in emergency response after an intentional or …

A swarm of robots is the coordination of multiple robots that can perform a collective task and
solve a problem more efficiently than a single robot. Over the last decade, this area of …

Local meteorological conditions including wind speed and turbulence significantly influence
the dispersion of pollutant plumes, introducing severe difficulties in predicting its trajectory …

We consider the problem of localizing the source of a diffusion process. The source is
supposed to be isotropic, and several sensors, equipped on a vehicle moving without …

The field of swarms and swarm robotics, and the more general field of multi-agent dynamic
systems is an active research field which has been popular for more than two decades now …

In this paper, a sliding mode control algorithm is proposed that allows a single, sensor
enabled agent to navigate along the boundary of a contaminated region. The proposed …

Crude oil has become very important source of energy. It is used by industries for supplying
energy, providing fuel for vehicles etc. It is carried by submarines pipelines, ships and …

UAVs can be directed to perform multiple tasks efficiently without human intervention. This is
especially useful in tasks that require group coordination since UAVs can exchange …

The suspended sediment plume generated in the deep-sea mining process significantly
impacts the marine environment and seabed ecosystem. Accurate boundary estimation can …
