A decentralized control design method for model-matching robustness problems

open access: yes, 2013
The design of decentralized controllers in the model-matching robustness formulation is presented. The results here include a parametrization of generalized observers for robust decentralized control, and the selection of a design parameter to trade-off ...

Monte-Carlo expectation maximization for decentralized POMDPs

open access: yes, 2013
We address two significant drawbacks of state-of-the-art solvers of decentralized POMDPs (DECPOMDPs): the reliance on complete knowledge of the model and limited scalability as the complexity of the domain grows.

Unconstrained networked decentralized model predictive control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Complex processes are naturally suitable to be controlled in a decentralized framework: centralized control solutions are often unfeasible in dealing with large scale plants and they are computationally prohibitive when the processes are too fast for the

Access to Finance and Innovation in the Canadian Food Processing

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Innovation is a presumed channel through which finance affects productivity, yet there is limited research testing the relationship between finance and innovation in the food manufacturing sector. The purpose of the paper is to explore the determinants (e.g., financing, R&D, firm size, expenditure on innovation) of the adoption of innovation ...

Research on the decentralized supervisory control of autonomous underwater vehicle

open access: yes, 2004
In order to independently complete some situation-adapted missions in unknown undersea environment, higher-level decision techniques are needed to provide an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with the ability of active autonomy. This paper uses certain
