  • 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...

  • Combining coordination mechanisms to improve performance in multi-robot teams

    Creator:
    Nasroullahi, Ehsan
    Abstract:
    Coordination is essential to achieving good performance in cooperative multiagent systems. To date, most work has focused on either implicit or explicit coordination mechanisms, while relatively little work has focused on the benefits of combining these two approaches. In this work we demonstrate that combining explicit and implicit mechanisms can...

  • Coevolution and transfer learning in a point-to-point fleet coordination problem

    Creator:
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael
    Abstract:
    In this work we present a multiagent Fleet Coordination Problem (FCP). In this formulation, agents seek to minimize the fuel consumed to complete all deliveries while maintaining acceptable on-time delivery performance. Individual vehicles must both (i) bid on the rights to deliver a load of goods from origin to destination...

  • Multi-Objective Optimization in Multiagent Systems

    Creator:
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael
    Abstract:
    Cooperative multiagent systems are used as solution concepts in many application domains including air traffic control, satellite communications, and extra planetary exploration. As systems become more distributed and complex, we observe three phenomena. First, these systems cannot be accurately modeled, rendering traditional model based control methods inadequate. Second, system parameters...

  • CLEAN learning to improve coordination and scalability in multiagent systems

    Creator:
    HolmesParker, Chris
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in multiagent learning have led to exciting new capabilities spanning fields as diverse as planetary exploration, air traffic control, military reconnaissance, and airport security. Such algorithms provide a tangible benefit over traditional control algorithms in that they allow fast responses, adapt to dynamic environments, and generally scale well....
