Distributed constraint optimization for continuous mobile sensor coordination

DCOP (Distributed Constraint optimization Problem) is a framework for representing distributed multi- agent problems. However, it only allows discrete values for the decision variables, which limits its application for real-world problems. In this paper, an extension of DCOP is investigated to handle variables with continuous domains....

Model-based workflows for optimal long-term reservoir mangement

Life-cycle optimization is the process of finding field operation strategies that aim to optimize recovery or economic value with a long-term (years to decades) horizon. A reservoir simulation model is therefore generally appropriate and sufficient to explore the impact of different recovery scenarios. A number of challenges arise when trying to...
