Abstract
This article is a tutorial to event-triggered coordination for
multi-agent average consensus. We provide a comprehensive account
of the motivations behind the use of event-triggered strategies
for consensus, the methods for algorithm synthesis, the technical
challenges involved in establishing desirable properties of the
resulting implementations, and their applications in distributed
control. We pay special attention to the assumptions on the
capabilities of the network agents and the resulting features of the
algorithm execution, including the interconnection topology, the
evaluation of triggers, and the role of imperfect information.
The issues raised in our discussion transcend the specific
consensus problem and are indeed characteristic of cooperative
algorithms for networked cyber-physical systems that solve other
coordination tasks. As our discussion progresses, we make these
connections clear, highlighting general challenges and tools to
address them widespread in the event-triggered control of networked
systems.
