Fransman, J.E. (author), Sijs, J. (author), Dol, H.S. (author), Theunissen, E. (author), de Schutter, B. (author)In this work, the novel algorithm Bayesian Dynamic Programming Optimization Procedure (B-DPOP) is presented to solve multi-agent problems within the Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem framework. The Bayesian optimization framework is used to prove convergence to the global optimum of the B-DPOP algorithm for Lipschitz-continuous...conference paper 2019

Fransman, J.E. (author), Sijs, J. (author), Dol, H.S. (author), Theunissen, E. (author), de Schutter, B. (author)In this paper, Mine Counter-Measures (MCM) operations with multiple cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are examined within the Distributed Constraint optimization Problem (DCOP) framework. The goal of an MCM-operation is to search for mines and mine-like objects within a predetermined area so that ships can pass the area through a...conference paper 2019

Posselt, G. (author), Booij, P.S. (author), Thiede, S. (author), Fransman, J.E. (author), Driessen, B.J.F. (author), Herrmann, C. (author)Guaranteeing defined conditions, such as the temperature levels inside the factory's building shell, is often important to produce high-quality products. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, as part of the technical building services, is energy intensive and accounts for a major share of the factory's energy demand. For an...conference paper 2015

Bakker, L.G. (author), Borsboom, W.A. (author), Sijs, J. (author), Fransman, J.E. (author)A model based indoor climate control concept is developed which improves the indoor comfort while saving energy. The controller developed within the EU-FP7 HERB project will automatically quantify key parameters describing the thermal balance of the building using a limited number of sensors and an adaptive statistical model. Aiming at large...conference paper 2013

Booij, P.S. (author), Sijs, J. (author), Fransman, J.E. (author)Strategies for controlling the indoor climate in greenhouses are based on a few sensors and actuators in combination with an assumption that climate variables, such as temperature, are uniform throughout the greenhouse. While this is already an improper assumption for conventional greenhouses, it especially does not hold for the new trend of...conference paper 2012
