Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

As computational devices and entities become further established as routine, omnipresent components of our everyday lives (e.g., wearable sensors, smart homes, cyber-physical systems, embodied agents, human-robot interactions), such systems face an increased pressure to perpetually understand the complex, noisy, uncertain world around them in real-time. This environmental knowledge enables computational systems to intelligently decide how to best behave in response to the current situation, adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the dynamic world, and accomplish system goals that ultimately aim to improve our daily experience. However, achieving and maintaining such knowledge is very complicated due to the complexities and challenging …


Multiagent Coalition Formation In Uncertain Environments With Type-Changing Influences And Its Application Towards Forming Human Coalitions, Nobel A. Khandaker May 2011

Multiagent Coalition Formation In Uncertain Environments With Type-Changing Influences And Its Application Towards Forming Human Coalitions, Nobel A. Khandaker

Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

We aim to solve the problem forming multiagent coalitions in uncertain environments where the coalition members’ capability of solving tasks change due to their learning. The MCFP-Mproblem for the agents refers to forming or joining coalitions on behalf of a set of human users so that those human users can solve tasks and improve their types (expertise) to improve their performances over time. MCFP-A problem for a set of agents refers to their forming or joining coalitions so that they are able to solve a set of assigned tasks while optimize their performance over time. We propose the Integrated Human …
