Quality of Service (QoS) routing generally requires fast reaction times, tight coupling of interactions between routing systems and mechanisms for ensuring that actions taken throughout the network are coherent. 18] showed how an agent based QoS routing approach can ben-eet signiicantly from making controller agents mobile and allowing them adapt the information and control distribution in the ...

Scheduling the maintenance based on condition, respectively degradation level of system leads to improved system's reliability while minimizing cost. Since changes dynamically during operation, we face a dynamic scheduling problem. In this paper, address manufacturing systems their level. The consists several units with defined capacity and an individual model, seeking optimize reward. sell pro...

in this research, using the modified compression field theory (mcft), a new truss based model is proposed to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams with diagonal reinforcement. the model is able to consider the effects of shear and axial forces and bending moment, simultaneously. the proposed model includes a nonlinear shear spring, an axial spring, two inclined truss member...

in this research, the possibility of using high percentage of lignocellulosic fibers in making natural fiber-thermoplastic composite was studied. three weight percentages of bagasse flour namely 40, 55 and 70 percents were chosen. mapp was used as coupling agent at two weight percentages of pp, namely 0, 4 and 6 percents. tensile strength was measured applying instron 6025. the results showed t...

a complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. the only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, although it is assumed that ...

this study introduces the differential transform method (dtm) to analyse the free vibration response of a rotating, closed section, composite, timoshenko beam which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. the governing differential equations of motion are derived using hamilton’s principle and solved by applying dtm. the natural frequ...

Multi-agent planning (MAP) approaches have been typically conceived for independent or loosely-coupled problems to enhance the benefits of distributed planning between autonomous agents as solving this type of problems require less coordination between the agents’ sub-plans. However, when it comes to tightlycoupled agents’ tasks, MAP has been relegated in favour of centralized approaches and li...

The Multiagent Disjunctive Temporal Problem (MaDTP) is a general constraint-based formulation for scheduling problems that involve interdependent agents. Decoupling agents’ interdependent scheduling problems, so that each agent can manage its schedule independently, requires agents to adopt additional local constraints that effectively subsume their interdependencies. In this paper, we present ...

Computationally tractable methods are developed for centralized goal assignment and planning of collision-free polynomial-in-time trajectories systems multiple aerial robots. The method first assigns robots to goals minimize total time-in-motion based on initial trajectories. By coupling the trajectory generation, motion plans tend require only limited collision resolution. then refined by chec...
