Balancing information mixing and optimality: a framework for robust and efficient distributed decision-making
… scalability, and plug-and-play operation, distributed decision-making is becoming increasingly vital. This thesis develops a comprehensive framework to address the challenges in distributed decision-making, focusing on distributed optimization and control of multi-agent networks. It …

Supporting dynamic and distributed decision making in acute care environments: Insights from a cognitive ethnography
The way that medical decisions are carried out in hospital environments has undergone radical changes in recent years, in part as a result of the changing landscape of care. To make decisions, physicians are expected to keep abreast of a growing and changing body of medical and patient knowledge, …

The Long-Tails in Content Services: How the Structure of Hybrid Networks Shape Content Popularity and Related Decision-Making
… as the infrastructure through which distributed individuals make and share cognition. This making and sharing of cognition through socio-technical networks results in an emergent distributed decision-making process. This emergent distributed decision-making process is embedded within …

Distributed learning in games under bounded rationality
… feature. Furthermore, we focus on the inherently distributed nature of these systems, where agents make decisions independently based on local information and individualized models. We study both cooperative and non-cooperative games under these dual perspectives of bounded rationality and …

Simulation and verification of autonomous route planning behavior
… a cyber-physical system that is characterized by distributed decision-making and is prone to unexpected disruptions. This new simulator investigates the route choice behavior of cars in an urban environment. It allows subjects to participate as drivers in virtual city environments directly as well …

Influence strategies for systems of systems
Distributed decision making has been identified as a source of managerial complexity for leaders of systems of systems (SoS). A new framework, AIR (Anticipation-Influence-Reaction), is proposed to capture the feedback relationships between the decisions made by constituents and those made by the …

TOPOLOGY-GUIDED MARKET-BASED MULTI-ROBOT TASK ALLOCATION
… bridging geometric representation learning with distributed decision-making.

Simultaneous Design of Communication Strategies and Control Policies in Stochastic Systems
… blocks for a general theory of multistage distributed decision making under nonclassical information, and possibly partial statistical description. We have obtained some fundamental results for two-stage stochastic teams, and have made contributions towards the development of a general …

Integrating demand into the U.S. electric power system : technical, economic, and regulatory frameworks for responsive load
… demand response technologies. The model includes distributed decision making by both consumers and investors in generation capacity, the effects of their decisions on market prices, and the feedbacks between them. Large scale adoption of demand response technology is simulated to quantify the …

A framework for dynamic safety and risk management modeling in complex engineering systems
… interactions, and systems-of-systems with distributed decision-making that cut across both physical and organizational boundaries. STAMP (System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes) is a comprehensive accident model created by Nancy Leveson that is based on systems theory. It draws on …

Link Game Theory and Machine Learning in Theories and Applications
… models of strategic interaction among rational decision-makers. It has applications in all fields of social science, as well as in logic, systems science and computer science. Today, game theory applies to a wide range of behavioral relations. On the other hand, machine learning is the study of …

Coordination of distributed energy resources for a reliable, resilient, and affordable decarbonized grid
… also adapt to a growing number of small-scale, distributed energy resources (DERs) at the edge, such as rooftop solar, batteries, electric vehicles, and heat pumps. This thesis focuses on modeling, optimizing, and coordinating DERs to enable a flexible, resilient, and affordable grid. First, it …

Uncertainty, complexity and changing conditions: A cohesive frame to advance agility in the built environment
… thesis establishes a novel multi-criteria decision-making framework for design projects. The theoretical framework, offering holistic and unified design criteria, corresponds to physical, functional, economic, technological, social, legal, and political facets that instigate and propel …

Integrated Workload Allocation and Condition-based Maintenance Threshold Optimisation
… of condition-based maintenance (CBM) in which decisions are made based on the real-time condition of assets, has opened up new possibilities in developing more comprehensive approaches to improve the performance of production systems. For instance, a trend has been observed where attempts are …

Intelligent Knowledge Distribution for Multi-Agent Communication, Planning, and Learning
… Each agent runs a CoDec POMDP where all the decision making (motion planning, task allocation, asset monitoring, and communication) are separated into concurrent individual MDPs to reduce the combinatorial explosion of the action and state space while maintaining dependencies between the …
