  • IDEAL alumni Tumer and Agogino win Best Paper Award at AAMAS07
  • ECE alumni, Drs. Kagan Tumer and Adrian Agogino, received the Best Paper Award at the 2007 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS). Drs. Tumer and Agogino, both PhDs from IDEAL, are researching ways to accommodate the anticipated tripling of air traffic over the next decade. Read more
    The current system routes flights on the basis of projections that do not take into account rapidly changing conditions in weather or airport congestion. Drs. Tumer and Agogino's approach is to create agents to govern specific air locations and use reinforcement learning to keep them informed of changing conditions. This approach shows a 67% reduction in congestion over current air traffic flow management.
