Topic: Swarm Decision Making Natural Systems Working Group
Abstract: In recent years, scientists and engineers have turned to the natural world when addressing design challenges in areas such as mechanical structures and fluid dynamics. These evolutionary systems often balance competing design requirements to arrive at optimal solutions.
However, nature can provide enlightening examples in other domains, to include information processing and decision making by distributed/decentralized systems (aka, swarms).
SWARM DECISION MAKING will examine how swarm systems identify, evaluate, and select among alternative solutions to a problem in the absence of centralized control. Topics will include:
Join us for a look at how distributed intelligence works, and what insights it can offer us in an increasingly interconnected world.
Speaker: Gary Vincent is a Senior Principal Systems Engineer with Northrop Grumman Defense Systems and has over twenty years’ experience conducting systems engineering for distributed simulation and command & control systems. He is an INCOSE CSEP and a member of the Natural Systems Working Group. Gary holds a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an M.S. in Information Systems from Northeastern University, and a Master of Architecture from the University of New Mexico.
