Abstract
Networks of networks paradigm was introduced to explore the rendezvous
problems of leader-follower multi-agent system, where the rendezvous actors
were categorized into the target object, the leader agents, the informed
follower agents and the isolated follower agents, respectively. Then, three
humanized system inspired strategies were investigated. Results demonstrated
that, the democracy strategy could fulfill the rendezvous task in expenses
with a long convergent time and the autarchy democracy could come to the
targeted object quickly with the risk of failing in rendezvous, while the
mixed strategy cared about both of the convergent speed and the utmost
task, would take autarchy strategy when the connections were available
for the follower agents, while the democracy rules had to be used if the
connections were not possible.
