This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed Decision Making and Control is a mathematical treatment of relevant problems in distributed control, decision and multiagent systems, The research reported was prompted by the recent rapid development in large-scale networked and embedded systems and communications. One of the main reasons for the growing complexity in such systems is the dynamics introduced by computation and communication delays. Reliability, predictability, and efficient utilization of processing power and network resources are central issues and the new theory and design methods presented here are needed to analyze and optimize the complex interactions that arise between controllers, plants and networks. The text also helps to meet requirements arising from industrial practice for a more systematic approach to the design of distributed control structures and corresponding information interfaces Theory for coordination of many different control units is closely related to economics and game theory network uses being dictated by congestion-based pricing of a given pathway. The text extends existing methods which represent pricing mechanisms as Lagrange multipliers to distributed optimization in a dynamic setting. In Distributed Decision Making and Control, the main theme is distributed decision making and control with contributions to a general theory and methodology for control of complex engineering systems in engineering, economics and logistics. This includes scalable methods and tools for modeling, analysis and control synthesis, as well as reliable implementations using networked embedded systems. Academic researchers and graduate students in control science, system theory, and mathematical economics and logistics will find mcu to interest them in this collection, first presented orally by the contributors during a sequence of workshops organized in Spring 2010 by the Lund Center for Control of Complex Engineering Systems, a Linnaeus Center at Lund University, Sweden.>

Book excerpt: Frequently (and often inappropriately) decision making in the work environment has been analyzed and modeled in terms of isolated decisions made by one person. In reality, decision making is a continuous, interpersonal process usually involving several ``decision makers'' aiming at dynamic and cooperative control of the state of affairs at work. Based on original contributions from researchers and research teams, this book provides an urgently needed cognitive approach to models of distributed decision making, exploring the basis for design of decision support systems in various complex, collective, modern work environments. It identifies the state of the art of modeling distributed decision making and the problems imposed by modern high-tech systems. A also formulates promising research avenues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision making in today's organizations is often distributed widely and usually supported by such technologies as satellite communications, electronic messaging, teleconferencing, and shared data bases. Distributed Decision Making outlines the process and problems involved in dispersed decision making, draws on current academic and case history information, and highlights the need for better theories, improved research methods and more interdisciplinary studies on the individual and organizational issues associated with distributed decision making. An appendix provides additional background reading on this socially and economically important problem area.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed decision making is described in this book from a hierarchical perspective. A unified approach allows to treat such seemingly diverse fields as multi-level decision making, hierarchical production planning, principal agent theory, hierarchical negotiations, & dynamic games within the framework of a general pair of functional equations. In doing so, the book covers the range from a multi-level one-person decision problem to a multi-person antagonistic planning & leadership situation. These general ideas are illustrated with numerous examples & real-life planning situations. In addition, the treatise provides a theoretical foundation for important problem areas in business administration, such as hierarchical production planning, the problems of design & implementation, modern concepts in managerial accounting, & supply chain management.

Book excerpt: Information systems in organizations traditionally filter information upwards to a few decision makers at the top of a hierarchy where it can be coordinated. However in practice decisions have to be taken at low levels even though they may conflict with those being made at similar levels elsewhere in the organization. This thesis is concerned with understanding the needs for organizational decision support, modelling the resulting distributed information support system, and implementing a prototype system. An examination is made of how groups organize their planning and decision-making activities in a number of application areas, and their requirements in terms of communication structures and online information systems capabilities are identified. From this analysis a Distributed Decision-Making (DDM) system is developed which: 1) allows decision support systems (DSS) to be developed in an evolutionary manner by separate groups working in parallel, and 2) enables the linking of these applications in decision-making tasks. The DDM focus encompasses information retrieval (and generation), information sharing, information use, and conflict resolution features such as the exDlanation of decisions. A message-based model of a DDM system is presented which is based on operator sharing and late binding of modules and a prototype system implemented under UNIX is described. An 'agent' command language, AL, containing explicit parallelism for programming distributed support system functions, was designed and implemented. The DDM system software provides the means for concurrent operation of the system as different users execute agents in parallel. The prototype system was used for a research project support case study, for the implementation of a decision-making conferencing system and for demonstrating a number of.
