Implementation of a Multi-Agent System in Java Agent Development Framework for a large-scale fossil-fuel electrical power unit control.
… control for a large-scale power plant targeting multiple objectives can be computationally intensive as well as difficult when attempted in a centralized control configuration. In order for this control to be more flexible, adaptive and robust, it needs to be coordinated in distributed …

A Multi-Agent Design for Power Distribution Systems Automation
A new Multi Agent System (MAS) design for fault location, isolation and restoration in power distribution systems is presented. In proposed approach, when there is a fault in the Power Distribution System (PDS), MAS quickly isolates the fault and restores the service to fault-free zones. …

A MULTI-AGENT BASED APPROACH FOR SOLVING THE REDUNDANCY ALLOCATION PROBLEM
… problem for modeling series-parallel systems. It is a combinatorial optimization problem which focuses on determining an optimal assignment of components in a system design. Due to the diverse possible selection of components, the RAP is proved to be NP-hard. Therefore, many …

Novel anomaly detection algorithms for major and critical items of plant
… In order to capture the dynamics of complex systems, high frequency data is preferred. Lack of a sufficiently high sampling rate can render traditional methods of modelling the dynamics inaccurate or impractical. This thesis proposes an adaptation of machine learning algorithms to model major …

Model checking multi-agent systems
A multi-agent system (MAS) is usually understood as a system composed of interacting autonomous agents. In this sense, MAS have been employed successfully as a modelling paradigm in a number of scenarios, especially in Computer Science. However, the process of modelling complex and heterogeneous …

Formulation of control strategies for requirement definition of multi-agent surveillance systems
In a multi-agent system (MAS), the overall performance is greatly influenced by both the design and the control of the agents. The physical design determines the agent capabilities, and the control strategies drive the agents to pursue their objectives using the available capabilities. The …

Multi agent system for web database processing, on data extraction from online social networks.
… Data Extraction (DE) from OSN: crawler, parser, Multi Agent System (MAS) and Application Programming Interface (API). Initially, a parser was implemented as a centralized system to traverse the OSN graph and extract the pro- le's attributes and list of friends from Myspace, the top OSN at that …

Modeling watershed management with an ecological objective - a multi-agent system based approach
… Meeting water demands for both human and ecosystem and maintaining the harmonic balance between those two is one of the ultimate challenges for watershed managers. This study quantitatively defines both human and natural water users as agents in a watershed and then uses a multi-agent system …
