Abstract

Focusing on an algorithm for realizing a small-world (SW) like ad hoc communication network among autonomous mobile agents, we discuss how the ad hoc network emerges through local negotiation without a central manager. We have started procedures that lend emerging networks the SW property, resulting in effective, low-cost communication. We formulate the expected number of communication links and degrees of agents, verifying the feasibility of our proposal through simulation.
