Analysis of investments in autonomous maintenance activities
IIE Transactions, 2000In this paper, we model the situation where operator maintenance activities improve the failure process of equipment. We analyze the business decision to reduce both the mean and variance of the production cycle time and the overall inventory level through an investment in planned autonomous maintenance.

Persistence Acquisition and Maintenance for Autonomous Formations
2005 International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing, 2005Built upon a recently developed theoretical framework, we consider some practical issues raised in autonomous multi-agent formation control. We use the notions of rigidity and persistence to analyze the cohesiveness of the formation structure and maintenance of the constraints on each individual agent.

Evolution of Autonomous Hierarchy Formation and Maintenance
Artificial Life 14: Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, 2014Hierarchy among social animals is ubiquitous, and affects the social structures of gregarious species not only by interaction among species within the population, but also through other social forces such as mating, nesting location, amount and the quality of food they receive, or reproductive success. Since T. Schjelderup-Ebbe developed the structural

An integrated approach to autonomous maintenance management
Integrated Manufacturing Systems, 1999This paper describes work undertaken to support an integrated approach to the autonomous maintenance management of machine tools and flexible manufacturing systems. The work described was initiated as part of a collaborative research project, funded under the European Community Eureka Maine project initiative as EU744: Integrated Condition and ...

Consistency Maintenance in Autonomous Agent Representations
1998Multi-representation models are an attractive design solution for layered autonomous agent architectures in terms of man aging complexity of internal representations and separation of design concerns. However, the representations maintained by the multiple layers can become inconsistent with one another due to the nature of the layers' ...

Building Dependable Electronic Systems for Autonomous Maintenance
2014Maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) of high value systems is expensive, time consuming and relies heavily upon back-to-base repair and overhaul activity. Autonomous maintenance of repairable systems is a rapidly developing area in through-life engineering services that specifically aims to reduce both mean time to repair and frequency of preventative
