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...

Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

Creator:: Algarra, Nathan
Abstract:: Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...
