Argonaut: Interactive Visual Exploration for Distributed Optimization
Srijoni Majumdar, Chuhao Qin, Evangelos Pournaras
Distributed discrete-choice optimization in decentralized settings is often hard to explore and navigate: disentangling what other agents choose, how their choices are interdepende…
Privacy-Aware Smart Cameras: View Coverage via Socially Responsible Coordination
Chuhao Qin, Lukas Esterle, Evangelos Pournaras
Coordination of view coverage via privacy-aware smart cameras is key to a more socially responsible urban intelligence. Rather than maximizing view coverage at any cost or over rel…
Resilient Charging Infrastructure via Decentralized Coordination of Electric Vehicles at Scale
Chuhao Qin, Alexandru Sorici, Andrei Olaru +2
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) introduces major challenges for decentralized charging control. Existing decentralized approaches efficiently coordinate a large numbe…
Optimization without Future Compromises? Decentralized Coordination via Collective and Reinforcement Learning
Chuhao Qin, Evangelos Pournaras
Efficient resource allocation in multi-agent systems requires autonomous agents to coordinate their decisions while balancing system-wide objectives with individual costs. This bec…
