We then applied this technique to search and rescue problems of rescuing potential survivors urgently in life-threatening disaster scenarios. With the rapid development of robotics andcomputer technology, aerial drones can be programmed to implement search algorithms that locate potential survivors and relay their positions to rescue teams. We model an environment of a disaster area with potential survivors using randomizedbivariate normal distributions. We extended the Clerk-Kennedy PSO algorithm as top-k PSO by considering individual drones as particles, where each particle remembers a set of global optima to identify the top-k peaks. By comparing several otheralgorithms, including the canonical PSO, Clerk-Kennedy PSO, and NichePSO, we evaluated our proposed algorithm in static and dynamic environments. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm was able to identify the top-kpeaks (optima) with a higher success rate than the baseline methods, although the rate gradually decreased with increasing movement speed of the peaks in dynamic environments.","PeriodicalId":495454,"journal":{"name":"International journal of smart computing and artificial intelligence","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135102880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiagent reinforcement learning in artificial intelligence research fields has been applied to supply chain management. The beer game is an example problem in supply chain management and has also been studied as a cooperation problem in multiagent systems. In the previous study, a solution method SRDQN that is based on deep reinforcement learning and reward shaping has been applied to the beer game. By introducing a single reinforcement learning agent with SRDQN as a participant in the beer game, the cost of beer inventory was reduced. However, the previous study has not addressed the case of multiagent reinforcement learning due to the difficulties in cooperation among agents. To address the multiagent cases, we apply a reward shaping technique RDPM based on mechanism design to SRDQN and improve cooperative policies in multiagent reinforcement learning. Furthermore, we propose two reward design methods with modifications to the state value function designs in RDPM to address various consumer demands for beers in the supply chain. And then we empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.","PeriodicalId":495454,"journal":{"name":"International journal of smart computing and artificial intelligence","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
