  • Risk-based design for multidisciplinary complex systems

    Creator:
    Farhangmehr, Farzaneh
    Abstract:
    The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain competitive. To achieve this goal they need to develop tools to reach the most preferred design product...

  • Optimization Across Decomposition : A Multiagent Model of Collaboration in Decomposed System Design

    Creator:
    Hulse, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Complex engineered systems design is a collaborative activity. To design a system, experts from the relevant disciplines must work together to create the best overall system from their individual components. This situation is analogous to a multiagent system in which agents solve individual parts of a larger problem. Current multiagent...

  • A Computational Framework for Resilience-Informed Design

    Creator:
    Hulse, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    It is desirable for complex engineered systems to perform missions efficiently and economically, even when these missions' complex, variable, long-term operational profiles make it likely for hazards to arise. It is thus important to design these systems to be resilient so that they will actively prevent and recover from hazards...
