In this paper we present the use of distributed value function techniques to reach collaboration in a multiagent system. We apply this method in two different simulation environments: a mobile robot planning/searching task ...

The application of data-envelopment analysis methodology is formulated as a tool to determine the distribution added value required in the tariff fixation processes of electrical power distribution that use the concept of ...

In distributed processing systems it is often necessary to coordinate the allocation of shared resources that should be assigned to processes in the modality of mutual exclusion; in such cases, the order in which the shared ...

The disadvantages of traditional "rate of return" regulation for distribution tariffs have led to he development of new regulatory schemes to stimulate efficiency in the provision of the service, under what has been called ...

In the groups of processes in distributed systems is necessary to make decisions based on agreements; these processes may operate in distributed teams; processes may require the use of shared resources in the form of ...

This paper is the second of two and presents a planning methodology for low-voltage distribution network planning. Combined optimization of transformers and associated networks is applied, considering the street layout ...

In distributed processing systems it is often necessary to coordinate the allocation of shared resources that should be assigned in the processes in the modality of mutual exclusion; in such cases, the order in which the ...

When it comes to processes distributed in process nodes that access critical resources shared in the modality of distributed mutual exclusion, it is important to know how these are managed and the order in which the demand ...
