Mechanical Engineering Seminar
DMA-POMDP: A Multi-Agent Framework for Decentralized Control and Its Application to Outbreak Response
Julie Simmons Ivy
Associate Professor
Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
North Carolina State University
Abstract
Dr. Simmons Ivy will present a multi-agent partially observable Markov decision process framework (DMA-POMDP) for decentralized control of multiple agents under uncertainty. DMA-POMDP can be applied to problems where agents have partial information about both other agents and system state and communication between agents is explicitly formulated. This framework will be applied to a public health setting where local and state health departments seek a timely response to a disease outbreak.
