In such systems, scheduling disturbances (due to environmental factors or equipment malfunction) may necessitate rescheduling. However, communicating new schedules to all agents can be resource intensive. Reducing rescheduling can improve the performance of multi-agent systems when communication resources are limited. Our team has designed three algorithms to minimize rescheduling, trading communication for schedule quality. Further, we developed infrastructure for testing such algorithms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA AMES Research Center Computer Science, 2017-18 Liaison(s): Dr. Jeremy Frank Advisor(s): Jim Boerkoel Students(s): Grace Diehl (PM), David Chu, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[205],"class_list":["post-12147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-science","tag-nasa-ames-research-center"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
