Abstract: Networked systems consist of several physically non coupled subsystems, called agents. The agents are controlled by local controllers and act autonomously. The local controllers exchange information over a communication network in order to reach a common control goal. The combination of multiple agents with a communication network is called multi-agent system. Figure 1 shows the structure of the system to be investigated. A controlled agent consists of an agent Pi (i = 1, 2,...,N) and its local controller Ci. As the dynamics of the control system are sensitive to time delays and interruptions of the feedback loop the communication network K has to provide communication links among the local controllers with acceptable transmission reliability and latency.
