Cells and Robots Modeling and Control of Large-Size Agent Populations

From the reviews:"This interesting monograph is devoted to the study of multi-agent, populations of biological cells and robot teams. … The main objective of the approach is to provide solutions to the problem of how dynamics of an individual agent propagates to the population dynamics. … This original monograph has a wide interest for scholars in the area of multi-agent systems, including computational biology, biometrical engineering, nano-robotics, and even aerospace engineering." (Silvia Curteanu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1147, 2008)“The book introduces a hybrid … dynamical modeling framework for modeling both the discrete population dynamics as well as the distribution of the swarm in a continuous state space. … This book addresses the advanced researcher or graduate student who is interested in a probabilistic perspective on modeling of large-scale distributed systems. … I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a probabilistic perspective on modeling of large-scale distributed systems–an area that definitely deserves more attention.” (Nikolaus Correll, IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 28, October, 2008)
