  • Learning from action not taken in multiagent systems

    Creator:
    Khani, Newsha
    Abstract:
    Coordination in large multiagent systems in order to achieve a system level goal is a critical challenge. Given the agents' intention to cooperate, there is no guarantee that the agent actions will lead to good system objective especially when the system becomes large. One of the primary difficulties in such...

  • Clearing bubble blockages in micro channels using a model predictive controller

    Creator:
    Patton, Chris
    Abstract:
    Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leading to decreases in system performance. In this work, a simulation-based control strategy is employed to eliminate flow...
