UAV mission planning under uncertainty
… a mission planner should account for the uncertainty inherent in the operations. Uncertainty, or stochasticity, manifests itself in most operations known to man. In the battlefield, such unknowns are especially real; the phenomenon is known as the fog of war. A good planner should develop …

Robust reconnaissance asset planning under uncertainty
… this thesis presents methods to optimize, under uncertain conditions, tactical reconnaissance asset allocation in order to maximize, within acceptable levels of asset risk exposure, the expected total information collection value. We propose a deterministic integer optimization formulation …

Long Term Power Generation Planning Under Uncertainty
<p>Generation expansion planning concerns investment and operation decisions for different types of power plants over a multi-decade horizon under various uncertainties. The goal of this research is to improve decision-making under various long term uncertainties and assure a robust generation …

Planning under uncertainty for dynamic collision avoidance
… describe a second framework that performs online planning and allows for 3-D escape maneuvers by starting with possibly dangerous initial flight plans and improving them iteratively. Experimental results with four different sensor modalities and a parametric aircraft performance model demonstrate …

Planning under uncertainty with Bayesian nonparametric models
… complex settings with little information about underlying environment dynamics. To successfully complete such tasks the agent must learn from its interactions with the environment. Many existing techniques make assumptions about problem structure to remain tractable, such as limiting the class …

Formulation of tradeoffs in planning under uncertainty
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1988.

Planning under uncertainty in resource-constrained systems
… systems become integrated into the real world, planning under uncertainty is a critical task. The real world is incredibly complex and systems must reason about factors such as uncertainty in their movements, environments, and human behavior. In the face of this uncertainty, agents must compute …

Strategic Planning Under Uncertainty: Stochastic Integer Programming Approaches
In the final part of this thesis, we address a class of stochastic programs with discrete first stage decisions and decision-dependent uncertainties. These problems are formulated as 0--1 hyperbolic programs for which we use the theory of convex extensions to develop a reformulation scheme and an …

Dynamic planning under uncertainty for theater airlift operations
… operations, and propose methods to improve the planning process. The United States Air Mobility Command is responsible for the air component of the world wide U.S. military logistics network. Due to the current conflict in Iraq, a small cell within Air Mobility Command, known as Theater Direct …

Real options approach to capacity planning under uncertainty
… of Real Options Analysis (ROA) in capacity planning decisions for engineering projects subject to uncertainty. This is in contrast to the irreversible decision-making proposed by the deterministic strategies based on expected estimates of parameters drawn years in advance. Effectiveness is …

Efficient Resource Development in Electric Utilities Planning Under Uncertainty
… strategy in electric utility long term planning under uncertainty considerations. In recent years, electric utilities have recognized the concepts of robustness, flexibility, and risk exposure, to be considered in their resource development strategy. The concept of robustness means to …

Cooperative Prediction and Planning Under Uncertainty for Autonomous Robots
… and hard to predict. Making robust decisions under such uncertain scenarios can be challenging for these autonomous robots. In the past, researchers have used deterministic approach to predict the motion of surrounding objects. However, these approaches can be over-confident and do not capture …

Planning under uncertainty and constraints for teams of autonomous agents
… human responders, a high degree of autonomy and planning is necessary. In particular, the unmanned vehicles should be able to account for the dynamic nature of their operating environment, the uncertain nature of their tasks and outcomes, and the risks that are inherent in working in such a …

End-to-End Ensemble Modelling for Water Resources Planning Under Uncertainty
… model structures (CatchMOD and PDM), parameter uncertainty and two contrasting methods for estimating potential evapotranspiration (PET), is developed to investigate the relative significance of different sources of uncertainty for water resources planning in the Thames basin. This model …
