Polya’s bees: A model of decentralized decision-making
How do social systems make decisions with no single individual in control? We observe that a variety of natural systems, including colonies of ants and bees and perhaps even neurons in the human brain, make decentralized decisions using common processes involving information search with positive feedback and consensus choice through quorum sensing. We model this process with an urn scheme that ...
متن کاملStaffas Decision-makers: the Merits of Decentralized Decision-making
During the 1950s and 1960s, research teams across the country searched for differences that explained why some organizations were highly successful while others were only marginally successful, if at all. Several of them came to similar explanations involving managerial treatment and use of their subordinates. Major researchers were Rensis Likert, Douglas McGregor, Robert R. Blake (withJane S. ...
متن کاملA GA Model Development for Decision Making Under Reverse Logistics
Managing products’ end-of-life and recovery of used products is gaining significant importance during last years. Therefore, managing the reverse flow of products can be an important potential for winning consumers in future competitive markets. In this context, establishing reverse logistics networks is becoming a main problem in reverse supply chains. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized to s...
متن کاملApproaches to asynchronous decentralized decision making
Motivated by the ideas of asynchronous relaxation algorithms this paper investigates optimal decision-making problems that exhibit decentralized characteristics. Such problems consist of a collection of interacting sub-systems, each one described by local properties and dynamics, joined together by the need to accomplish a common task which achieves overall optimal performance. Special properti...
متن کاملDecentralized Decision Making for Multiagent Systems
Decision making in large distributed multiagent systems is a difficult problem. In general, for an agent to make a good decision, it must consider the decisions of all the other agents in the system. This coupling among decision makers has two main causes: (i) the agents share a common objective function (e.g., in a team), or (ii) the agents share constraints (e.g., they must cooperate in shari...
