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.

Control and optimization of multi-agent systems and complex networks for systems engineering (2021)
Journal Article

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.

A comprehensive framework from real-time prognostics to maintenance decisions (2021)
Journal Article

Studying the influence of imperfect prognostics information on maintenance decisions is an underexplored area. To bridge this gap, a new comprehensive maintenance support system is proposed. First, a survival theory-based prognostics module employing... Read More about A comprehensive framework from real-time prognostics to maintenance decisions.

Relaxing platform dependencies in agent-based control systems (2021)
Journal Article

Agent-based systems have been widely used to develop industrial control systems when they are required to address issues such as flexibility, scalability and portability. The most common approach to develop such control systems is with agents embedde... Read More about Relaxing platform dependencies in agent-based control systems.

Mining graph-Fourier transform time series for anomaly detection of internet traffic at core and metro networks (2021)
Journal Article

This article proposes a framework to analyse traffic-data processes on a long-haul backbone infrastructure network providing internet services at a national level. This type of network requires low latency and fast speed, which means there is a large...

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...
