The collaborative multi-level lot-sizing problem with cost synergies
2019
International Journal of Production Research
Additionally, a Genetic Algorithms-based centralised approach is developed, which we use for benchmarking. ...
We compare the results to a myopic upstream planning approach, and show that these results are almost 12% worse than the centralised ones. ...
A decentralised production-distribution planning system using collaborative agents is proposed by Jung and Jeong (2005) . ...

Sample Greedy Based Task Allocation for Multiple Robot Systems
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
To examine the performance of the proposed algorithm and validate the theoretical analysis results, we design a task allocation problem and perform numerical simulations. ...
The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm achieves solution quality, which is comparable to a state-of-the-art algorithm in the monotone case, and much better quality in the non-monotone ...
Note that the centralised solution of the task allocation problem involves having to communicate all the agents and environment data to a centralised entity. ...
