The work approaches the problem of effective control of semi-autonomous networks from three fronts: protocols which are run on individual agents in the network; the network interconnection topology design; and efficient modeling of these often large-scale networks. The author extended the popular consensus protocol to advection and nonlinear consensus.  The network redesign algorithms are supported by a game-theoretic and an online learning regret analysis UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-15010-9 ER -
