Planning in large, partially observable domains is challenging, especially when good performance requires considering situations far in the future. Existing planners typically construct a policy by performing fully conditional planning, where each future action is conditioned on a set of possible observations that could be obtained at every timestep. Unfortunately, fully-conditional planning can be computationally expensive, and state-of-the-art solvers are either limited in the size of problems that can be solved, or can only plan out to a limited horizon. We propose that for a large class of real-world, planning under uncertainty problems, it is necessary to perform far-lookahead decision-making, but unnecessary to construct policies that condition all actions on observations obtained at the previous timestep. Instead, these problems can be solved by performing semi conditional planning, where the constructed policy only conditions actions on observations at certain key points. Between these key points, the policy assumes that a macro-action - a temporally-extended, fixed length, open-loop action sequence, comprising a series of primitive actions, is executed. These macro-actions are evaluated within a forward-search framework, which only considers beliefs that are reachable from the agent's current belief under different actions and observations; a belief summarizes an agent's past history of actions and observations. Together, semi-conditional planning in a forward search manner restricts the policy space in exchange for conditional planning out to a longer-horizon. Two technical challenges have to be overcome in order to perform semi-conditional planning efficiently - how the macro-actions can be automatically generated, as well as how to efficiently incorporate the macro action into the forward search framework. We propose an algorithm which automatically constructs the macro-actions that are evaluated within a forward search planning framework, iteratively refining the macro actions as more computation time is made available for planning. In addition, we show that for a subset of problem domains, it is possible to analytically compute the distribution over posterior beliefs that result from a single macro-action. This ability to directly compute a distribution over posterior beliefs enables us to enjoy computational savings when performing macro-action forward search. Performance and computational analysis for the algorithms proposed in this thesis are presented, as well as simulation experiments that demonstrate superior performance relative to existing state-of-the-art solvers on large planning under uncertainty domains. We also demonstrate our planning under uncertainty algorithms on target-tracking applications for an actual autonomous helicopter, highlighting the practical potential for planning in real-world, long-horizon, partially observable domains.

This book includes the introduction of emerging manufacturing technologies and planning cases with established technologies. The planning of eco-efficient process chains is crucial for manufacturing companies. However, in the state-of-the-art planning, various barriers exist towards the integration of the environmental dimension. Against this background, a concept for the integration of classic lean and environmental criteria into the three planning phases of process chains is presented. During concept planning, the Technology Assessment Tool supports planners in the identification of eco-efficient technologies. During rough planning, the Value Stream Design Tool enables the derivation of a production line based on workpiece characteristics. For detailed planning, tools for eco-efficient machine and process chain configuration are provided. Three case studies from large-scale automotive component manufacturing with established and emerging technologies demonstrate the tool applicability.

This book explains how learning from past mistakes in urban design can help to enhance sustainable cities and how the principles of Green Urbanism can yield more resilient urban settlements. Environmental design is a fundamental principle in shaping cities. However, environmental challenges like increased resource consumption, water degradation and waste-related issues are among the greatest problems now facing humanity – which is why these issues need to be considered with regard to “smart cities,” either for the development of new urban centers or for the transformation of existing cities. The book not only discusses the importance of integrating sustainability principles in the urban design process, but also demonstrates their application to the development of sustainable cities. As such, the book offers essential information and a source of inspiration for all those who want to build more sustainable cities.

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: Consumers today are in the focus of a wide range of companies in a more and more global world, all of which implies an increase of marketing activities and hence an increase of advertising effort. Hundreds or even thousands of advertising messages are put in front of consumers every day through various media channels. However, every targeted customer has a very limited ability of perceiving advertising messages and even a smaller percentage of what has been recognized is considered as being relevant. Therefore consumers quite often feel harassed and overloaded by the mass of information, the quality of advertising and the context in which it is shown, and react protective towards advertising, especially when they do not belong to the target group of the advertised product or service. This implies a great amount of budget wastage and a potential damage to brand images, since too many consumers are targeted with the wrong advertising message. Furthermore media consumption has changed over the years, while the consumption of TV for instance remains stable, the internet consumption increases dramatically, in the younger target groups it has already outgrown the TV consumption, and therefore an attenuation of this trend can be expected. This means more and more prospective consumers will spend more and more time online and are therefore important potential targets for advertising campaigns. Keeping in mind the negative consequences of the irrelevant and too intense advertising the question arises if there is a way to avoid the drawbacks of offline media and use the opportunities offered by online media. The necessity of defining the right target group for an advertising campaign is as undoubted as the difficulties implied in that process, the end product being able to target the right persons online. Behavioural targeting might offer a way to analyse online media and therefore to contribute to the requirements for optimal media planning in order to achieve a high degree of efficiency. Against the background of the increasing interest in behavioural targeting an examination of its potential importance for marketing will be conducted in this paper in order to asses if behavioural targeting can increase the efficiency of media planning in online media. The foundation for this paper is provided by the description of media planning in general, its objectives including the target group segmentation, media strategy and [...]
