The task of self - organizing groups of vessel for collision avoidance
We formulate the problem of self -organization groups of vessels in the distributed system, developed for the prevention of collisions under the influence of the conflict. A classification, kinds and types of homogeneous and heterogeneous groups of vessels are suggested. In particular, the principles of cluster dangerously approaching vessels, the functioning methods of self -organizing systems for preventing collisions and approaches to solving the problem of group control.
