CAN (PLAN)+: Extending the operational semantics of the BDI architecture to deal with uncertain information (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The BDI architecture, where agents are modelled based on their beliefs, desires and intentions, provides a practical approach to develop large scale systems. However, it is not well suited to model complex Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SC...

An investigation into predicting vortex ring state in rotary aircraft (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Results from wind tunnel experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations have been presented which suggest it may be possible to predict when a rotary aircraft will enter Vortex Ring State (VRS). Results suggest that the formation of a... Read More about An investigation into predicting vortex ring state in rotary aircraft.
