Book excerpt: TRACK 1: Innovative Applications in the Public Sector The integration of multimedia based applications and the information superhighway fundamentally concerns the creation of a communication technology to support the ac tivities of people. Communication is a profoundly social activity involving interactions among groups or individuals, common standards of exchange, and national infrastruc tures to support telecommunications activities. The contributions of the invited speakers and others in this track begin to explore the social dimension of communication within the context of integrated, information systems for the public sector. Interactions among businesses and households are described by Ralf Strauss through the development within a real community of a "wired city" with information and electronic services provided by the latest telecommunications technologies. A more specific type of interaction between teacher and student forms the basis of education. John Tiffin demonstrates how virtual classrooms can be used to augment the educational process. Carl Loeffler presents yet another perspective on interaction through the integration of A-life and agent technologies to investigate the dynamics of complex behaviors within networked simulation environments. Common standards for communication in the form of electronic documents or CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work), according to Roland Traunmiiller, provide en abling technologies for a paradigm shift in the management of organizations. As pointed out by William Olle, the impact of standardization work on the future of information technology depends critically upon the interoperability of software systems.

Book Operations Research and Decision Aid Methodologies in Traffic and Transportation Management

Download or read book Operations Research and Decision Aid Methodologies in Traffic and Transportation Management written by Martine Labbe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every one relies on some kind of transportation system nearly every day. Go ing to work, shopping, dropping children at school and many other cultural or social activities imply leaving home, and using some form of transportation, which we expect tobe eflicient and reliable. Of course, efliciency and reliabil ity do not occur by chance, but require careful and often relatively complex planning by transportation system managers, both in the public and private sectors. It has long been recognized that mathematics, and, more specifically, op erations research is an important tool of this planning process. However, the range of skills required to cover both fields, even partially, is very large, and the opportunities to gather people with this very diverse expertise are too few. The organization of the NATO Advanced Studies Institute on "Opera tions Research and Decision Aid Methodologies in Traflic and Transportation Management" in March 1997 in Balatonfüred, Hungary, was therefore more than welcome and the group of people that gathered for a very studious two weeks on the shores of the beautiful lake Balaton did really enjoy the truly multidisciplinary and high scientific level of the meeting. The purpose of the present volume is to report, in a chronological order, the various questions that were considered by the lecturers and the' students at the institute. After a general introduction to the topic, the first week focused on issues related to traflic modeling, mostly in an urban context.

Book Applied Simulation and Optimization 2

Download or read book Applied Simulation and Optimization 2 written by Miguel Mujica Mota and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the author’s earlier Applied Simulation and Optimization, this book presents novel methods for solving problems in industry, based on hybrid simulation-optimization approaches that combine the advantages of both paradigms. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to tackling scheduling, routing problems, resource allocations and other issues in industrial environments, the service industry, production processes, or supply chains and aviation. Logistics, manufacturing and operational problems can either be modelled using optimization techniques or approaches based on simulation methodologies. Optimization techniques have the advantage of performing efficiently when the problems are properly defined, but they are often developed through rigid representations that do not include or accurately represent the stochasticity inherent in real systems. Furthermore, important information is lost during the abstraction process to fit each problem into the optimization technique. On the other hand, simulation approaches possess high description levels, but the optimization is generally performed through sampling of all the possible configurations of the system. The methods explored in this book are of use to researchers and practising engineers in fields ranging from supply chains to the aviation industry.

Book Data driven Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Via Deep Reinforcement Learning

Download or read book Data driven Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Via Deep Reinforcement Learning written by Tian Tan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC) system serves a significant role for relieving urban traffic congestion. The system is capable of adjusting signal phases and timings of all traffic lights simultaneously according to real-time traffic sensor data, resulting in a better overall traffic management and an improved traffic condition on road. In recent years, deep reinforcement learning (DRL), one powerful paradigm in artificial intelligence (AI) for sequential decision-making, has drawn great attention from transportation researchers. The following three properties of DRL make it very attractive and ideal for the next generation ATSC system: (1) model-free: DRL reasons about the optimal control strategies directly from data without making additional assumptions on the underlying traffic distributions and traffic flows. Compared with traditional traffic optimization methods, DRL avoids the cumbersome formulation of traffic dynamics and modeling; (2) self-learning: DRL self-learns the signal control knowledge from traffic data with minimal human expertise; (3) simple data requirement: by using large nonlinear neural networks as function approximators, DRL has enough representation power to map directly from simple traffic measurements, e.g. queue length and waiting time, to signal control policies. This thesis focuses on building data-driven and adaptive controllers via deep reinforcement learning for large-scale traffic signal control systems. In particular, the thesis first proposes a hierarchical decentralized-to-centralized DRL framework for large-scale ATSC to better coordinate multiple signalized intersections in the traffic system. Second, the thesis introduces efficient DRL with efficient exploration for ATSC to greatly improve sample complexity of DRL algorithms, making them more suitable for real-world control systems. Furthermore, the thesis combines multi-agent system with efficient DRL to solve large-scale ATSC problems that have multiple intersections. Finally, the thesis presents several algorithmic extensions to handle complex topology and heterogeneous intersections in real-world traffic networks. To gauge the performance of the presented DRL algorithms, various experiments have been conducted and included in the thesis both on small-scale and on large-scale simulated traffic networks. The empirical results have demonstrated that the proposed DRL algorithms outperform both rule-based control policy and commonly-used off-the-shelf DRL algorithms by a significant margin. Moreover, the proposed efficient MARL algorithms have achieved the state-of-the-art performance with improved sample-complexity for large-scale ATSC.

Book Decision Making in Aviation

Download or read book Decision Making in Aviation written by Don Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision making pervades every aspect of life: people make hundreds of decisions every day. The vast majority of these are trivial and without a right or wrong answer. In some respects there is also nothing extraordinary about pilot decision making. It is only the setting that is different - the underlying cognitive processes are just the same. However, it is the context and the consequences of a poor decision which serve to differentiate aeronautical decision making. Decisions on the flight deck are often made with incomplete information and while under time pressure. The implications for inadequate performance is much more serious than in many other professions. Poor decisions are implicated in over half of all aviation accidents. This volume contains key papers published over the last 25 years providing an overview of the major paradigms by which aeronautical decision making has been investigated. Furthermore, decision making does not occur in isolation. It is a joint function of the flight tasks; knowledge; equipment on the flight deck and other stressors. In this volume of collected papers, works from leading authors in the field consider all these aspects of aeronautical decision making.
