Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computing and communication systems find many applications in the domain of physical mobile systems such as mass transportation systems and robotic coordination systems. Since these systems are often very complex or very large in scale, traditional centralized models to develop these systems face growing challenges in satisfying these requirements. Numerous researchers have studied distributed and autonomous decentralized models to develop these systems. Distributed systems also have limitations arising due to deadlocks and starvations, since any mobile node in the system does not have complete system state. Moreover, when one or more mobile entities coordinate, it is essential that the coordination scheme is delay-bounded and reliable due to the real-time nature of the system components.
