Abstract In this chapter, I extend Shannon’s linear model of communication into a in which is differentiated both vertically and horizontally (Simon, 1973). Following Weaver (1949), three layers are distinguished operating relation to one another: ( i ) at level A, the events sequenced historically along arrow time, generating Shannon-type information (that is, uncertainty); ii incursion meanin...

We study the consideration of fairness in redundant assignment for multi-agent task allocation. It has recently been shown that agents to tasks provides robustness uncertainty performance. However, question how fairly assign these resources across remains unaddressed. In this letter, we present...

With the huge global and wide range of attention placed upon quality, promoting and optimize the reliability of the products during the design process has turned out to be a high priority. In this study, the researcher have adopted one of the existing models in the reliability science and propose a bi-objective model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems in accordance with th...

Considering the increasingly high attention to quality, promoting the reliability of products during designing process has gained significant importance. In this study, we consider one of the current models of the reliability science and propose a non-linear programming model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems according to the redundancy strategy and considering the assump...
