Swarming species such as flocks of birds or schools of fish exhibitfascinating collective behaviors during migration and predatoravoidance. Similarly, engineered multi-agent dynamic systems such as groups of autonomous ground, underwater, or air vehicles ("vehicle swarms") exhibit sophisticated collective behaviors while maneuvering. In this book we show how to model and control a wide range of suchmulti-agent dynamic systems and analyze their collective behaviorusing both stability theoretic and simulation-based approaches. Inparticular, we investigate problems such as group aggregat.
