In a realistic environment, intentions of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents may be threatened by the impact of exogenous change. Subsequent activity failure may incur debilitative consequences which hinder both recovery and subsequent goal achievement. CAMP-BDI (Capability Aware, Maintaining Plans) embodies BDI agents with capability knowledge, allowing anticipation of threats to activity su...

In a realistic environment, intentions of belief-desire-intention (BDI) agents may be threatened by exogenous change.

Preliminary layout design of buildings has a substantial effect on the ultimate design of structural components and accordingly influences the construction cost. Exploring structurally efficient forms and shapes during the conceptual design stage of a project can also facilitate the optimum integrated design of buildings. This paper presents an automated method of determining column layout desi...

flexibility as an ability to respond to changing circumstances is one of the vital characteristics of the natural and built environment. during the contemporary era, diversity of methods relating the architectural flexibility execution are suggested. but along with contemporary conceptual approaches toward pluralism and uncertainty, it seems that the multiplicity of approaches toward flexibilit...

This paper discusses an extension of our previous work (Saitou, 1998) on robustness optimization of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) that undergo forecasted production plan variations. The extension is made to a more general class of FMS performing “non-linear” or “cyclic” production that allows multiple operation types per one machine type. As in our previous work (Saitou, 1998), a configu...

This research explains airplane model with two vertical vibrations for airframe and landing gear system. The purpose of this work is to advance vibrational model for study of adjustable vibration absorber and to plan Proportional-Integration-Derivative approach for adapting semi active control force. The coefficients of this method are modified as stated by Bee multiobjective optimization using...

PURPOSE Robust optimization leads to IMPT plans that are more robust than and superior in optimality compared to PTV-based optimized plans. Robust optimization incorporates setup and range uncertainties, which implicitly adds margins to targets and organs-at-risk (OARs); whereas PTV-based optimization only considers setup uncertainties and adds margins only to targets in practice. The purpose o...

A high fidelity system for estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) for Li-ion batteries for aerospace applications is presented. The system employs particle filtering coupled with outlier detection to predict RUL. Calculations of RUL are based on autonomous measurements of the battery state-ofhealth by onboard electronics. Predictions for RUL are fed into a maintenance advisor which allows o...
