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

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

Model predictive control of drinking water networks: a hierarchical and decentralized approach

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, a decentralized model predictive control (DMPC) strategy for drinking water networks (DWN)is proposed. The DWN is partitioned in a set of subnetworks using a partitioning algorithm that makes use of the topology of the network, the ...
