Coordination of decisions in a spatial agent model

Coordination of Decisions in a Spatial Agent Model

For a binary choice problem, the spatial coordination of decisions in an agent community is investigated both analytically and by means of stochastic computer simulations. The individual decisions are based on different local information generated by the agents with a finite lifetime and disseminated in the system with a finite velocity. We derive critical parameters for the emergence of minori...

Coordination of Pricing, Ordering, and Lead time Decisions in a Manufacturing Supply Chain

In this paper, an incentive policy is proposed to coordinate ordering, lead time, and pricing strategies in a two-echelon manufacturing supply chain (SC) consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The system is faced with a stochastic demand which depends on both price and lead time. The manufacturer decides on production size and manufacturing acceleration rate while the retailer determi...

Execution-time Communication Decisions for Coordination of Multi-agent Teams

MULTI-AGENT teams can be used to perform tasks that would be very difficult or impossible for single agents. Although such teams provide additional functionality and robustness over single-agent systems, they also present additional challenges, mainly due to the difficulty of coordinating multiple agents in the presence of uncertainty and partial observability. Agents in a multi-agent team must...

Revenue management and seller pricing decisions in retail industry: An agent-based model

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
