Tsukuba, Japan—Distributed constraint optimization problems are crucial for modeling cooperative-multiagent systems. Asynchronous Distributed OPTimization (ADOPT) is a well-known algorithm for solving ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

The study identifies three core domains where AI is increasingly embedded in local energy systems. The first is forecasting ...
