Maintenance strategies for networked assets* (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of different maintenance strategies for a network of assets whose condition deteriorates progressively along the time. We propose both an agent-based model that considers the dynamics of data traffic... Read More about Maintenance strategies for networked assets*.

The value of information for dynamic decentralised criticality computation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Smart manufacturing uses advanced data-driven solutions to improve performance and operations resilience requiring large amounts of data delivered quickly, enabled by telecom networks and network elements such as routers or switches. Disruptions can... Read More about The value of information for dynamic decentralised criticality computation.

Network maintenance planning via multi-agent reinforcement learning (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Within this work, the challenge of developing maintenance planning solutions for networked assets is considered. This is challenging due to the very nature of these systems which are often heterogeneous, distributed and have complex co-dependencies b...

Analysing the effect of food supply chain traceability on product waste (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents initial results from an agent-based simulation study into the impact of supply chain traceability information sharing on food waste reduction in the fresh food supply chain. Based on data collected during a 2019 study of a multi-t... Read More about Analysing the effect of food supply chain traceability on product waste.

Comparison of agent deployment strategies for collaborative prognosis (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Collaborative prognosis is a technique that enables the industrial assets to learn from similar other assets in a fleet, and improve their data-driven prognosis models. When collaborative prognosis is implemented in a computationally distributed fram... Read More about Comparison of agent deployment strategies for collaborative prognosis.

Comparing agent-based control architectures for next generation telecommunication network infrastructures (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Multi-agent systems have been an effective choice for designing control systems that are flexible and agile. However, few attention has been given to the evaluation of the architectures of such systems. This becomes critical with the emerging require...

An application of HRI in low-cost digital manufacturing (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Digital Manufacturing (DM) broadly refers to applying digital information to enhance manufacturing processes, supply chains, products and services. In past work we proposed a low-cost DM architecture, supporting flexible integration of legacy robots.... Read More about An application of HRI in low-cost digital manufacturing.

Self-generated intent-based system (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose an intent-based system where, on top of the user intentions, the system itself generates suitable Quality of Service and resilience parameters and may augment the intent characteristics if it detects any room for improvement. We demonstrat... Read More about Self-generated intent-based system.

Tying together solutions for digital manufacturing: Assessment of connectivity technologies & approaches (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper concerns the development of low-cost solutions to address challenges in digital manufacturing (DM). Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are a promising approach for addressing the requirements of a low-cost DM architecture. Interaction b...

Towards a software framework for the autonomous Internet of Things (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

IoT promises a world where Smart Objects (SO) are able to autonomously communicate and work together to make the (human) user's life easier. Popular approaches for development of IoT applications take for granted that on-object resources are evenly c... Read More about Towards a software framework for the autonomous Internet of Things.

Autonomous and self controlling smart objects for the future internet (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Development of IoT applications relies heavily on middleware architectures. Multiple solutions have been proposed using service and agent paradigms, which consequently impose a specific application development model. We observe a trend towards a data...
