The relation between motions of moored ships due to wake wash of passings vessls and the hindrance thereof

English Language Test for Scientific Staff at D.U.T.

Delft University of Technology (DUT) screened her (non-native English) scientific staff on their level of language proficiency over the year academic 2006/2007. In this paper the large scale operation, involving planning, policy decisions, assessment means, advise and training are discussed. Results are framed against the background of becoming...

Robust estimation of the noise variance from background MR data

In the literature, many methods are available for estimation of the variance of the noise in magnetic resonance (MR) images. A commonly used method, based on the maximum of the background mode of the histogram, is revisited and a new, robust, and easy to use method is presented based on maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. Both methods are...

Fusion of Plans in a Framework with Constraints

The promise of multi-agent systems is that multiple agents can solve problems more efficiently than single agents can. In this paper we propose a method to implement cooperation between agents in the planning phase, in order to achieve more cost-effective solutions than without cooperation. Two results are presented: First of all, we introduce a...

Multi-agent Cooperation in a Planning Framework

The promise of multi-agent systems is that multiple agents can solve problems more efficiently than single agents can. In this paper we propose a method to implement cooperation between agents in the planning phase, in order to achive more cost-effective solutions than without cooperation. Two results are presented: First of all, we introduce a...

A Framework for Multi-Agent Planning

We introduce a computational framework, consisting of resources, skills, goals and services to represent the plans of individual agents and to develop models and algorithms for cooperation processes between a collection of agents.

A Plan Fusion Algorithm for Multi-Agent Systems

We introduce an algorithm for cooperative planning in multi-agent systems. The algorithm enables the agents to combine (fuse) their plans in order to increase their joint profits. A computational resources and skills framework is developed for representing the planned activities of an agent under time constraints. Using this resource-skill...
