چکیده

We reconstruct Cohen, March and Olsen’s Garbage Can model of organizational choice as an agent-based model. In the original model, the members of an organization can postpone decision-making. We add another means for avoiding making decisions, that of buck-passing difficult problems to colleagues. We find that selfish individual behavior, such as postponing decision-making and buckpassing, does not necessarily imply dysfunctional consequences for the organiza-

An Agent-Based Representation of the Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice

Cohen, March and Olsen's Garbage Can Model (GCM) of organizational choice represent perhaps the first ñ and remains by far the most influential ñagent-based representation of organizational decision processes. According to the GCM organizations are conceptualized as crossroads of time-dependent flows of four distinct classes of objects: 'participants,' 'opportunities,' 'solutions' and 'problems...

Fractional Modeling and Analysis of Buck Converter in CCM Mode Peration

In this paper fractional order averaged model for DC/DC Buck converter in continues condition mode (CCM) operation is established. DC/DC Buck converter is one of the main components in the wind turbine system which is used in this research. Due to some practical restriction there weren’t exist input voltage and duty cycle of converter therefor whole of the wind system was simulated in Matlab/Si...

Higher-Order Concurrency in PVM

Message-passing systems are typically used to achieve high-performance parallel computing. In this paper we examine how advanced concurrent programming can be achieved using existing message-passing systems. In particular, we look at Reppy's extension to Hoare's basic CSP model, called higher-order concurrency, where communication events (such as send, receive and non-deterministic choice) are ...

Designing a novel structure of explicit model predictive control with application in a buck converter system

This paper proposes a novel structure of model predictive control algorithm for piecewise affine systems as a particular class of hybrid systems. Due to the time consuming and computational complexity of online optimization problem in MPC algorithm, the explicit form of MPC which is called Explicit MPC (EMPC) is applied in order to control of buck converter. Since the EMPC solves the optimizati...
