Preventive Control Under Autonomous Decentralized System

Inventory Sharing under Decentralized Preventive Transshipments

We consider preventive transshipments between two stores in a decentralized system with two demand subperiods. Replenishment orders are made before the first subperiod, and the stores may make transshipments to one another between the subperiods. We prove that the transshipment decision has a dominant strategy, called a control-band conserving transfer policy, under which each store chooses a q...

Decentralized Control of Autonomous Vehicles

Decentralized control methods are appealing in coordination of multiple vehicles due to their low demand for long-range communication and their robustness to single-point failures. An important approach in decentralized multi-vehicle control involves artificial potentials or digital pheromones. In this paper we explore a decentralized approach to path generation for a group of combat vehicles i...

Decentralized Cooperative Control of Autonomous Surface Vehicles

Many pressing issues associated with control of cooperative intelligent systems involve challenges that arise from the difficulty of coordinating multiple task objectives in highly dynamic, unstructured environments. This chapter presents a multi-objective cooperative control methodology for a team of autonomous surface vehicles deployed with the purpose of protecting a waterway against hostile...

Towards an autonomous decentralized orchestration system

Orchestrating workflows needed for modern scientific data analysis presents a significant research challenge: they are typically executed in a centralised manner such that all data pass through a single compute server known as the engine, which causes unnecessary network traffic that leads to a performance bottleneck. This paper presents a scalable decentralised orchestration system that relies...
