Objectives of the book

1. present a coherent introduction to distributed algorithms, covering results in graph theory, synchronous networks, and averaging algorithms

2. provide a self-contained exposition of relevant geometric models and geometric optimization problems

3. put forth a model for robotic networks that helps formalize and analyze coordination algorithms

4. present various algorithms for coordination tasks such as rendezvous, connectivity maintenance, deployment, and boundary estimation
