A Plan Fusion Algorithm for Multi-Agent Systems

De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)

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...

A Framework for Multi-Agent Planning

Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)

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.

Multi-agent Cooperation in a Planning Framework

De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Bos, A. (author), Tonino, J.F.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)

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...

Robust estimation of the noise variance from background MR data

Sijbers, J. (author), Den Dekker, A.J. (author), Poot, D. (author), Bos, R. (author), Verhoye, M. (author), Van Camp, N. (author), Van der Linden, A. (author)

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...

Formation flying as an innovative air transportation system for long-haul commercial flight: A focus on operational feasibility and potential gain

Herinckx, L.E. (author), Gutleb, T.L.M. (author), Van Nunen, R. (author), Van Rompuy, E. (author), Bos, D.A. (author), Dijkers, H.P.A. (author), De Wit, J. (author), Radfar, H. (author), Sahin, S.E. (author), Beelarts van Blokland, W.W.A. (author)

Formation flying is introduced as a new and innovative air transportation system for long-haul commercial flight. With this paper the operational feasibility of formation flying is addressed, both from a market demand and economic, as well as an air traffic control perspective. Preliminary results of a case study indicate that operating a newly...

The airline industry is under continuous pressure to reduce emissions and costs. This paper investigates the feasibility for commercial airlines to use formation flight to reduce emissions and fuel burn. To fly in formation, an aircraft needs to benefit from the wake vortices of the preceding aircraft. This requires a stable aerodynamic flow,...

Importance sampling of severe wind gusts

Bos, R. (author), Bierbooms, W.A.A.M. (author), Van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)

An important problem that arises during the design of wind turbines is estimating extreme loads with sufficient accuracy. This is especially difficult during iterative design phases when computational resources are scarce. Over the years, many methods have been proposed to extrapolate extreme load distributions from relatively short time series...

Shunt Compensation Design of EHV Double-Circuit Mixed OHL-Cable Connections

Khalilnezhad, H. (author), Chen, S. (author), Popov, M. (author), Bos, J.A. (author), de Jong, J.P.W. (author), van der Sluis, L. (author)

This paper deals with the shunt compensation design of long 380kV-50Hz XLPE cables by simulating a double-circuit partially cabled connection with the transmission length of 80km in the Dutch transmission system. The proposed procedure for shunt compensation sizing is fully elaborated in this paper. Four sizing criteria are used to find the...
