Using Distributed Agents to Optimize Thermal Energy Storage

March 14, 2019
Author(s)
Amanda Pertzborn
The Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will be used to develop and evaluate advanced control systems for commercial building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)

Compositional Models for Complex Systems

January 19, 2019
Author(s)
Spencer J. Breiner, Ram D. Sriram, Eswaran Subrahmanian
In this chapter we argue for the use of representations from category theory to support better models for complex systems, and provide an example of such an application might look like. Our approach rests on the well known observation that complex system

Uncertainty Quantification of Failure Probability and a Dynamic Risk Analysis of Decision Making for Maintenance of Ageing Infrastructure

January 2, 2019
Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Fong, James J. Filliben, Nathanael A. Heckert, Dennis D. Leber, Paul A. Berkman, Robert E. Chapman
Risk, as the product of failure probability and failure consequence, has been estimated and applied by engineers and managers to help make critical decisions on (a) maintenance of ageing plants, and (b) planning of new infrastructure. For ageing plants

Some generating functions for q-polynomials

December 15, 2018
Author(s)
Howard Cohl, Roberto Costas-Santos, Tanay Wakhare
We obtain $q$-analogues of the Sylvester, Cesaro, Pasternack, and Bateman polynomials. We also derive generating functions for these polynomials.

COMPARISON OF DATA ANALYTICS APPROACHES USING SIMULATION

December 9, 2018
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Yung-Tsun Lee
Selecting the right data analytics (DA) approach for an application is rather complex. Obtaining sufficient and right kind of data for evaluating these approaches is a challenge. Simulation models can support this process by generating synthetic data where

Categorical Models for Process Planning

November 19, 2018
Author(s)
Spencer J. Breiner, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Albert W. Jones
Process plans provide a structure for 1) identifying the tasks involved in a given process, 2) the resources needed to accomplish them, and 3) a variety of relationships and constraints between these. This information guides important operational decisions

VIRTUAL EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS IN GAZEBO ENVIRONMENT

November 14, 2018
Author(s)
Murat Aksu, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor
Measuring the agility performance of the industrial robots as they are performing in unstructured and dynamic environments is a thought-provoking research topic. This paper investigates the development of industrial robotic simulation algorithms for the
