Toward Opportunistic Collaboration in Target Pursuit Problems

This paper proposes an opportunistic framework to modeling and control of multi-robots moving-target pursuit in dynamic environment with partial observability. The partial observability is achieved via the introduction of third party agent (referred to as mediator) that transforms the target’s as well as group members’ positioning information into the robotic agents’ common knowledge, thereby e...

Supply Chain Collaboration: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Profit Allocation

Purpose: This paper aims to develop a theoretical framework for profit allocation, as a mechanism for aligning incentives, in collaborative supply chains. Design/methodology/approach: The issue of profit distribution is approached from a gametheoretic perspective. We use the nucleolus concept. The framework is illustrated through a numerical example based on the Beer Game scenario. Findings: Th...

I regret that carelessness in punctuating should h;iva had such an effect on " Alpha", as 1 can easily see that it has caused him to have many misconceptions with regard to the matter contained in the paper. I will try and remedy some of them now, and as I suppose he has put most of his d...
