Machine team management

Abstract

It is pointed out that such emerging technologies as IoT, CPS, etc. will dramatically change our relationship with machines. Relationship between humans and machines has long been basically master-slave. But machines will communicate with each other in the coming Connected Society so that they will behave like humans. The group of machines are no more just a group of physical entities. We have to deal with them just as we do with humans. Thus, machine team management becomes very important in the Connected Society and the problem of leadership will emerge to better control and manage these machine teams.
