In this paper we demonstrate how agent-based modelling can be used to understand the emergence of a new infrastructure system, more specifically, a biogas infrastructure in the Netherlands. The innovative element in our modelling approach is the use of MAI ...
This work develops an exact converging algorithm for the solution of a distributed optimization problem with partially-coupled parameters across agents in a multi-agent scenario. In this formulation, while the network performance is dependent on a collecti ...
Waiting time in any network is often a costly and hence a bad experience. Therefore, to avoid jamming regions becomes essential in the optimization of traffic flows. In this regard, the conception and the control of complex networks supporting flows of uni ...
We focus on the control of heterogeneous swarms of agents that evolve in a random environment. Control is achieved by introducing special agents: leader and infiltrated (shill) agents. A refined distinction is made between hidden and apparent controlling a ...
We consider the problem of dictionary learning over large scale models, where the model parameters are distributed over a multi-agent network. We demonstrate that the dual optimization problem for inference is better conditioned than the primal problem and ...
Today's supply networks consist of a certain amount of logistics objects that are enabled to interact with each other and to decide autonomously upon their next steps: in other words, they exhibit a certain degree of autonomous cooperation. Therefore, mode ...
The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...
Boosted by the technological advances in experimental techniques, cellular biology is nowadays facing the need for quantitative approaches in order to rationalize the huge amount of collected data. A particularly succesfull theoretical framework is provide ...
In this paper we present the application of the interior-point decomposition (IPD) method, which was originally formulated for stochastic programming, to optimization problems involving multiple agents that are coupled through constraints and objectives. I ...
This contribution is addressed to the dynamics of heterogeneous interacting agents evolving on the plane. Heterogeneity is due to the presence of an unfiltered externally controllable fellow, a shill, which via mutual interactions ultimately drives (i.e. s ...
