Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue (SI) aims to explore the latest advancements in multi-agent system (MAS) control strategies and practical applications. MASs, consisting of multiple interacting intelligent agents, have the potential to solve intricate problems through a form of coordination and distributed decision making that single agents could not handle, with significant implications for various domains such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, aircraft formation, spacecraft formation, smart grids, and distributed sensor networks. The coordination of MAS presents unique challenges and opportunities for enhancing system efficiency, resilience, and adaptability. One major challenge is designing robust and adaptive control algorithms that can handle MAS in dynamic and uncertain environments. Ensuring reliable and efficient communication among agents is another critical area. Additionally, a key research direction involves reducing communication resource usage and improving efficiency in the decision-making process.
This SI seeks high-quality submissions highlighting cutting-edge research and developments in MASs, focusing on their control, coordination, communication, and learning capabilities. The topics of interest include advanced control algorithms, cooperative behaviors, distributed decision making, adaptive learning mechanisms, and MAS applications. The goal is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest theoretical, experimental, and applied research findings, fostering a deeper understanding and broader application of MASs in solving real-world problems, pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
