An Application of Rissanen’s Complexity Measure to Optimizing Abstraction Levels
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous work we have considered the usercentered complexity of a hierarchy of abstractions as observed from a user’s perspective. We hypothesized that, given a perspective, there should be a variety of complexities depending on the granularity of the abstraction and the measure of complexity chosen. In this paper we consider an optimization based on the Minimum Description Length complexity measure and its implications for choosing the proper level of abstraction.

Optimizing the Static and Dynamic Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in Container Terminals
The Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) problem is a well-known problem in the area of network optimisation. To tackle this problem, Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) is the fastest solution method. NSA has three extensions, namely Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA) and Dynamic Network Simplex plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The objectives of the research reported in this...
متن کاملA multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory
This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...
