Agent-based approaches to manufacturing scheduling and control have gained increasing attention in recent years. Such approaches are attractive because they o er increased robustn...
We develop a multi-objective model for the resource allocation problem in a dynamic PERT network, where the activity durations are exponentially distributed random variables and t...
Abstract-- We investigate the usefulness of a subtree deactivation control mechanism which is open to evolutionary learning. It is hypothesised that this representation confers an ...
In this paper we explore some of the connections between cooperative game theory and the utility maximization framework for routing and flow control in networks. Central to both a...
