Robust building design optimization using the robust optimality criterion by Elli Nikolaidou

“…The framework comprises five main steps, which can assist stakeholders in exploring the design space in the light of different sources of uncertainty, and obtaining a solution that performs satisfactorily with respect to the considered objectives and constraints: a) uncertainty quantification; b) exhaustive search; c) building performance simulation (BPS); d) robust optimization; and e) solution analysis. …”

Robustness of hydroclimate metrics for climate change impact research by Marie Ekstrom, Ethan D. Gutmann, Robert Wilby, Mari R. Tye, Dewi G. Kirono

“…We raise awareness about the following generic issues: • formulation: metrics often assume stationarity of the input data, which is invalid under climate change; and do not always consider potential changes to seasonality and the relevance of the temporal window used for analysis; • climate change input data: how well are the physical processes relevant to the metric represented in the climate change input data; what is the impact of bias correction on relevant spatial and temporal scale dependencies and relevant intervariable dependencies; how realistic are the data in representing sequencing of events and natural variability in large ocean-atmosphere systems; • decision making context: are rules and values that frame the decision-making process likely to remain constant or change in a future world. …”

Addressing robustness in time-critical, distributed, task allocation algorithms by Amanda Whitbrook, Qinggang Meng, Paul Chung

“…It is shown that the baseline does not handle uncertainty well; the task-allocation success rate tends to decrease linearly as degree of uncertainty increases. However, when PI is run with one of the candidate robustness modules, the failure rate becomes very low for both problems, even under high simulated uncertainty, and so its architecture is adopted for ROB-M and also applied to MIT’s baseline Consensus Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA) to demonstrate its flexibility. …”
