Abstract:

This thesis presents a new approach to local decision-making in multi-agent systems with varying amounts of communication. Here, local decision-making refers to action choices which are made in a decentralized fashion by individual agents based on the information which is locally available to them. The work described here is set within the multi-agent decision process framework. Unreliable, faulty or stochastic communication patterns present a challenge to these settings which usually rely on precomputed, centralised solutions to control individual action choices. Various approximate algorithm

Local government is located in a unique dynamic political, economic, social and technological environment and provides services to the community within this environment through the transformation of resources. The transformation process relies on a series of decision-making processes to ensure the continuation of this transf

Abstract:

Flood risk management is increasingly seeking to involve local stakeholders in decision-making, both to harness and benefit from their tacit knowledge and to devolve responsibility for delivering local-scale, individual and community responses. Current techniques used in flood risk management centre on a techno-scientific approach, which is well-suited to appraising and modelling hazard, but often inaccessible to those without specialist, technical expertise. This leads to participation that is often limited to infrequent consultation periods, keeping local stakeholders at the periphery of the

Abstract:

Various assumptions exist regarding the relationship between socio-economic factors as income and education, and personal factors as age and gender, and political participation. In an attempt to test the veracity of these widely held assumptions, this study initially examines the relationship between socio-economic factors (education and income) and personal factors (age and gender) and political participation. Secondly, interest and perception of people about politics and municipal administration were investigated to be able to set some policy proposal for encouraging participation of people

The threat and occurrence of terrorist attacks have increased in the United States since September 2011, heightening concerns for weaponized anthrax, other biological pathogens, and epidemics and pandemics.
