1. What have the authors contributed in "A distributed attack detection method for multi-agent systems governed by consensus-based control" ?
The paper considers the problem of detecting cyber-attacks occurring in communication networks for distributed control schemes.. A distributed methodology is proposed to detect the presence of malicious attacks aimed at compromising the stability of large-scale interconnected systems and multi-agent systems governed by consensus-based controllers.

2. What are the future works in "A distributed attack detection method for multi-agent systems governed by consensus-based control" ?
As future work, the authors aim at considering the attack isolation problem in order to identify the communication links involved by the attack.. Finally, in future work, the application of the proposed approach will be validated on a micro-grid use-case.. Furthermore, the authors will investigate the opportunity to reconfigure the control law after attack detection to make the system resilient to attacks.. Moreover, the authors will further investigate the idea to reduce the effect of stealthy attacks on the dynamics of the interconnected subsystems, while guaranteeing the convergence conditions for the consensus-based secondary control scheme.
