Multiple-objective sensor management and optimisation
… target tracking and other system-level objectives relating to expected operating lifetime are explored in an autonomous ground sensor scenario. This is achieved by modelling the observer trajectory control design as a probabilistic, information-theoretic, multiple-objective optimisation …

Using Multiple Objective Optimization for Autonomous Sailing Vessels
This research addresses using multiple object optimization, via the established opensource Mission Oriented Operating Suite-Interval Programming (MOOS-IvP) platform, to meet the unique navigational demands and operational constraints of autonomous sailing vessels. Recognizing a gap in the existing …

A dynamic multi-criteria analysis of spent-nuclear-fuel alternatives
A generalized multiple-objective research and development (R & D) capital budgeting model incorporating production-allocation decisions is developed for the analysis of the spent-nuclear-fuel management problem. The generalized model is decomposed into two subproblems. First is a multiple-objective …
