Recent advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning show that agents can spontaneously learn when and what to communicate with each other to support effective cooperation. However, the existing approaches assume a fully-connected network with unlimited bandwidth, which is impractical in many real-world scenarios. For instance, in many multi-robot applications, robots are connected only through an unstable wireless network with limited bandwidth. Therefore, we must enable the agents to learn communication strategy that takes the consumption of network resources into account. This paper proposes a group division-based attentional communication model (GDAC), which can divide agents into groups according to their "attention" in the learned communication strategy. According to the novel "attention" mechanism, agents can be dynamically grouped according to their task relevance, and the communication only takes places inside the same group. As a result, it avoids a fully-connected communication architecture and can significantly reduce the bandwidth consumption at runtime. This model has been successfully applied to the environmental exploration task with a group of agents. The results show that GDAC could effectively reduce the total amount of communication message and yield improved performance over the existing fully-connected communication architecture.

Deviations between electric current measurements and reality can cause severe problems in the power train of electric vehicles (EVs). Among others, these are unnecessary power limitations and inaccurate performance coordination during driving or charging. One reason for these deviations are time delays. In this paper, we present three different approaches for time delay estimation (TDE) and evaluate these with real data from power trains of EVs. Besides the accuracy of the TDE, the focus of our evaluation lies on the computational efficiency to enable an execution on automotive electronic control units (ECUs). The Linear Regression approach suffers even from small noise and offsets in the measurement data and is unsuited for our purpose. A better alternative is the Variance Minimization approach. It is not only more noise-resistant but also very efficient after the first execution. Another interesting approach are Adaptive Filters presented by Emadzadeh et al. Unfortunately, Adaptive Filters do not reach the accuracy and efficiency of Variance Minimization in our experiments. Thus, we recommend Variance Minimization for TDE of current signals in the power train of EVs.

This paper considers models and languages of parallel processes that make it possible to adequately describe the properties and relationships among real processes both at the level of events and in realtime. The proposed models and languages are shown to provide more flexibility in the description of parallelism compared to similar well-known models and languages. We also discuss the practical application of models and languages for parallel processes to design high-level concurrent programming languages, as well as distributed computing and control systems.

This study proposes a robust and completely independent coordinated voltage control (CVC) method for low-voltage (LV) networks as a solution for the overvoltage problem created by distributed generation. The CVC coordinates an operation of an on-load tap changer transformer at a secondary substation and a redox flow battery energy storage at a customer supply point in an LV network based on real-time measurements of the LV grid. The novelty of this CVC is that control decisions are based on relatively simple deterministic logic, which is fast to execute, does not require a detailed grid model, and provides always a solution, has minimal need of information exchange between components of the control system, and it may operate independently without supervision of control centre or information exchange between CVC solution and IT systems of the control centre. This study presents the developed CVC method and explains the practical aspects of implementation for robust and independent solution. The CVC was developed, implemented and tested at the smart grid laboratory of the TU Dortmund University as a part of a master thesis. The most relevant outcome of this master thesis is presented in this study.

The paper defines a new class of network devices Functional Networking Components (FNC). FNC can receive and process information (the presence of a computer with network ports), the FNC has a physical nature (mechanics), and it is able to affect the physical environment. The FNC mechanisms that allow processing input information from sensors and generate events and messages are examined, as well as the requirements for them are determined. The paper analyzes the advantages of using FNC computers based on a traditional microcontroller (ARM as an example) with the addition of a hardware accelerator on FPGA for processing fast processes. A simplified block diagram of the event's generator, messages and synchronization is given.

Communication overheads in distributedsystems constitute a large fraction of the total execution time, and limit the scalability of applications running on these systems. We propose a DCT-based approximate communication scheme that takes advantage of the error resiliency of several widely-used applications, and improves communication efficiency by substantially reducing message lengths. Our scheme is implemented into the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. When evaluated on several representative MPI applications on a real cluster system, it is seen that the fraction of total execution time devoted to communication reduces from 59% to 23%, even accounting for the computational overhead required for DCT encoding. For many communication-intensive applications, it is shown that our approximate communication scheme effectively speeds up the total execution time without much loss in quality of the result.
