Self-organization is a process that increases the order of a system as a result of local interactions among low-level, simple components, without the guidance of an outside source. Spatial self-organization is a process in which shapes and structures emerge at a global level from collective movements of low level shape primitives. Spatial self-organization is a stochastic process, and the outcome of the aggregation cannot necessarily be guaranteed. Despite the inherent ambiguity, self-organizing complex systems arise everywhere in nature. Motivated by the ability of living cells to form specific shapes and structures, we develop two self-organizing systems towards the ultimate goal of directing the spatial self-organizing process. We first develop a self-sorting system composed of a mixture of cells. The system consistently produces a sorted structure. We then extend the sorting system to a general shape formation system. To do so, we introduce morphogenetic primitives (MP), defined as software agents, which enable self-organizing shape formation of user-defined structures through a chemotaxis paradigm. One challenge that arises from the shape formation process is that the process may form two or more stable final configurations. In order to direct the self-organizing process, we find a way to characterize the macroscopic configuration of the MP swarm. We demonstrate that statistical moments of the primitives' locations can successfully capture the macroscopic structure of the aggregated shape. We do so by predicting the final configurations produced by our spatial self-organization system at an early stage in the process using features based on the statistical moments. At the next stage, we focus on developing a technique to control the outcome of bifurcating aggregations. We identify thresholds of the moments and generate biased initial conditions whose statistical moments meet the thresholds. By starting simulations with biased, random initial configurations, we successfully control the aggregation for a number of swarms produced by the agent-based shape formation system. This thesis demonstrates that chemotaxis can be used as a paradigm to create an agent- based spatial self-organization system. Furthermore, statistical moments of the swarm can be used to robustly predict and control the outcomes of the aggregation process.

▼ Iterative Learning Control (ILC) iterates with a real world control system repeatedly performing the same task. It adjusts the control action based on error history from the previous iteration, aiming to converge to zero tracking error. ILC has been widely used in various applications due to its high precision in trajectory tracking, e.g. semiconductor manufacturing sensors that repeatedly perform scanning maneuvers. Designing effective feedback controllers for non-minimum phase (NMP) systems can be challenging. Applying Iterative Learning Control (ILC) to NMP systems is particularly problematic. Asking for zero error at sample times usually involves inverting the control system. However, the inverse process is unstable when the system has NMP zeros. The control action will grow exponentially every time step, and the error between time steps also grows exponentially. If there are NMP zeros on the negative real axis, the control action will alternate its sign every time step. ILC must be digital to use previous run data to improve the tracking error in the current run. There are two kinds of NMP digital systems, ones having intrinsic NMP zeros as images of continuous time NMP zeros, and NMP sampling zeros introduced by discretization. Two ILC design methods have been investigated in this thesis to handle NMP sampling zeros, producing zero tracking error at addressed sample times: (1) One can simply start asking for zero error after a few initial time steps, like using multiple zero order holds for the first addressed time step only (2) Or increase the sample rate, ask for zero error at the original rate, making two or more zero order holds per addressed time step. The internal instability can be manifested by the singular value decomposition of the input-output matrix. Non-minimum phase systems have particularly small singular values which are related to the NMP zeros. The aim is to eliminate these anomalous singular values. However, when applying the second approach, there are cases that the original anomalous singular values are gone, but some new anomalous singular values appear in the system matrix that cause difficulties to the inverse problem. Not asking for zero error for a small number of initial addressed time steps is shown to eliminate all anomalous singular values. This suggests that a more accurate statement of the second approach is: using multiple zero order holds per addressed time step, and eliminating a few initial addressed time steps if there are new anomalous singular values. We also extend the use of these methods to systems having intrinsic NMP zeros. By modifying ILC laws to perform pole-zero cancellation inside the unit circle, we observe that all of the rules for sampling zeros are effective for intrinsic zeros. Hence, one can now achieve convergence to zero tracking error at addressed time steps in ILC of NMP systems with a well behaved control action. In addition, this thesis studies the robustness of the two approaches along with several other candidate…

▼ Given a set of peers with overlapping interests where each peer wishes to keep track of new documents that are relevant to their interests, we propose Shrack-a self-organizing peer-to-peer (P2P) system for document sharing and tracking. The goal of a document-tracking system is to disseminate new documents as they are published. We present a framework of Shrack and propose a gossip-like pull-only information dissemination protocol. We explore and develop mechanisms to enable a self-organizing network, based on common interest of document sets among peers. Shrack peers collaboratively share new documents of interest with other peers. Interests of peers are modeled using relevant document sets and are represented as peer profiles. There is no explicit pro file exchange between peers and no global information available. We describe how peers create their user pro files, discover the existence of other peers, locally learn about interest of other peers, and finally form a self-organizing overlay network of peers with common interests. Unlike most existing P2P file sharing systems which serve their users by finding relevant documents based on an instant query, Shrack is designed to help users that have long-term interests to keep track of relevant documents that are newly available in the system. The framework can be used as an infrastructure for any kind of documents and data, but in this thesis, we focus on research publications. We built an event-driven simulation to evaluate the performance and behaviour of Shrack. We model simulated users associated with peers after a subset of authors in the ACM digital library metadata collection. The experimental results demonstrate that the Shrack dissemination protocol is scalable as the network size increases. In addition, self-organizing overlay networks, where connections between peers are based on common interests as captured by their associated document sets, can help improve the relevance of documents received by peers in terms of F-score over random peer networks. Moreover, the resulting self-organizing networks have the characteristics of social networks.

Ethiopia is both one of the fastest-growing economies and one of the poorest countries in the world. As its population grows exorbitantly, waves of migrants are flowing endlessly into the capital city. Such a fast pace of development brings about a hallucinated future constituted by processes driven by economic and political forces pursuing efficient outcomes. Addis Ababa wants to deliver quickly, in great quantities and as cheap as possible: there is little time for thinking! Against this background, it seems a matter of great urgency to provide the city with alternative visions. This is particularly relevant if we consider that being a federal city, Addis Ababa is geographically limited, and, therefore, it cannot expand outside of its boundaries. As a result, such a self-destructive spiral tends to move forward while erasing its traces, threatening the most consolidated neighbourhoods that struggle to coexist with the explosive growth of the city. The inner city represents, indeed, a land of high value and the inhabitants who have been living there for more than a hundred years are now under threat of eviction. It appears that the old city and its style of life could be swept away at any moment by a masterplan that does not take into consideration its value. Alongside such a tangible heritage comprised of streets, alleyways and historical architecture composing material narratives, there are human ones moulded through the structures of the longue durée. The question the intervention poses is how can we densify and reconfigure delipidated historical districts without erasing their traces, interpret their styles of life while providing a dynamic structure that can cater for the dreams of their inhabitants? Is it possible to decode decentralized morphogenetic processes and learn from self-organizing systems to design modern cities? Can architecture be something other than the imposition of a demiurge that shapes inert matter, in such a way that it turns into the acceptance of every event of life, constantly balancing freedom and control like a funambulist, not pursuing chaos but rather by being open and not reacting to it. In short, paraphrasing Charles Correa, how can we open new doors to new aspirations while drawing on existing values? Through the exploration of the current situation, complemented with oral fragments of memories and historical footages, I began to familiarize with the processes of becoming of the patterns of everyday life in the neighbourhood. The aim of the project is twofold: on the one hand, it intends to draw on the existing values and collective memory to reconfigure the narratives of historical districts; on the other hand, the ambition is to provide a structure that can adapt through time and be open to change. If the model is neither entirely taken from the current configuration nor imposed as an external solution, but rather one derived from the internal morphogenetic capabilities, a new one, then, could bridge the apparent opposition between local and universal.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Psychology 2012.

Over the last three decades there has been a growing concern regarding the poor outcomes for the large number of children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) in the United States. The System of Care model has been adopted as a central strategy to address the fragmented, costly, and inaccessible nature of the mental health service delivery systems that has been attributed to these poor outcomes. Yet despite years of research and millions of dollars in federal support, many system of care efforts struggle in transforming their systems to adequately meet the needs of SED youth. One strategy to improve these efforts is the promotion of inter-professional collaboration. While research suggests that inter-professional collaboration is associated with positive outcomes for SED youth, front-line service providers often lack the capacity to engage in these collaborative processes (Fraser & Greenhalgh, 2001; Walker & Shutte, 2005) and there is little research available to guide communities in how to facilitate the process of inter-professional collaboration in their own systems. Drawing upon theories from complexity science, this study aimed to address this gap by introducing the IDeAL Partnerships Framework, an integrated model describing how inter-professional collaboration comes about through the development of four self-organizing capacities (knowledge of the service delivery system, knowledge of provider differences, reflective dialogue skills, and beliefs about collaboration) and the initiation of transformative learning exchanges. The IDeAL Partnerships Framework was used to develop an intervention to increase service providers' self-organizing capacity, transformative exchanges, and collaborative behavior. The IDeAL Partnerships Intervention was implemented with front-line service providers and was evaluated using a longitudinal experimental design. Two waves of data were collected from a total of 33 providers (17 in the intervention, and 16 in a control group). Results found some support for the overall conceptual model within the IDeAL Partnerships Framework: all four self-organizing capacities were predictive of transformative learning exchanges, and transformative learning exchanges were predictive of collaborative behaviors. However, transformative learning exchanges did not fully mediate the relationship between capacity and collaboration as proposed in the framework, and analyses suggested additional relationships between variables in the model. Results also provided some support for the intervention's efficacy. Quantitative results suggested a trend indicating that intervention participants experienced increases in two of the four self-organizing capacities (knowledge of the service delivery system and knowledge of provider differences) and their case-related transformative learning exchanges compared to control group participants. While intervention participants' collaborative behaviors also increased compared to the control group in…

▼ Self-organization is a key feature as cellular networks densify and become more heterogeneous, through the additional small cells such as pico and femtocells. Self- organizing networks (SONs) can perform self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing. These operations can cover basic tasks such as the configuration of a newly installed base station, resource management, and fault management in the network. In other words, SONs attempt to minimize human intervention where they use measurements from the network to minimize the cost of installation, configuration, and maintenance of the network. In fact, SONs aim to bring two main factors in play: intelligence and autonomous adaptability. One of the main requirements for achieving such goals is to learn from sensory data and signal measurements in networks. Therefore, machine learning techniques can play a major role in processing underutilized sensory data to enhance the performance of SONs. In the first part of this dissertation, we focus on reinforcement learning as a viable approach for learning from signal measurements. We develop a general framework in heterogeneous cellular networks agnostic to the learning approach. We design multiple reward functions and study different effects of the reward function, Markov state model, learning rate, and cooperation methods on the performance of reinforcement learning in cellular networks. Further, we look into the optimality of reinforcement learning solutions and provide insights into how to achieve optimal solutions. In the second part of the dissertation, we propose a novel architecture based on spatial indexing for system-evaluation of heterogeneous 5G cellular networks. We develop an open-source platform based on the proposed architecture that can be used to study large scale directional cellular networks. The proposed platform is used for generating training data sets of accurate signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) values in millimeter-wave communications for machine learning purposes. Then, with taking advantage of the developed platform, we look into dense millimeter-wave networks as one of the key technologies in 5G cellular networks. We focus on topology management of millimeter-wave backhaul networks and study and provide multiple insights on the evaluation and selection of proper performance metrics in dense millimeter-wave networks. Finally, we finish this part by proposing a self-organizing solution to achieve k-connectivity via reinforcement learning in the topology management of wireless networks.

▼ This work introduces self-organizing techniques to reduce the complexity and burden of coordinating distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids that are rapidly increasing in scale globally. Technical and financial evaluations completed for power customers and for utilities identify how disruptions are occurring in conventional energy business models. Analyses completed for Chicago, Seattle, and Phoenix demonstrate site-specific and generalizable findings. Results indicate that net metering had a significant effect on the optimal amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) for households to install and how utilities could recover lost revenue through increasing energy rates or monthly fees. System-wide ramp rate requirements also increased as solar PV penetration increased. These issues are resolved using a generalizable, scalable transactive energy framework for microgrids to enable coordination and automation of DERs and microgrids to ensure cost effective use of energy for all stakeholders. This technique is demonstrated on a 3-node and 9-node network of microgrid nodes with various amounts of load, solar, and storage. Results found that enabling trading could achieve cost savings for all individual nodes and for the network up to 5.4%. Trading behaviors are expressed using an exponential valuation curve that quantifies the reputation of trading partners using historical interactions between nodes for compatibility, familiarity, and acceptance of trades. The same 9-node network configuration is used with varying levels of connectivity, resulting in up to 71% cost savings for individual nodes and up to 13% cost savings for the network as a whole. The effect of a trading fee is also explored to understand how electricity utilities may gain revenue from electricity traded directly between customers. If a utility imposed a trading fee to recoup lost revenue then trading is financially infeasible for agents, but could be feasible if only trying to recoup cost of distribution charges. These scientific findings conclude with a brief discussion of physical deployment opportunities.

▼ Jogos digitais tęm se destacado nos últimos anos por conta do seu elevado crescimento no mercado internacional. Tendo isto como base, alguns elementos que formam os jogos digitais podem ser separados para serem estudados e, assim, contribuírem para o desenvolvimento desta área de entretenimento. Um deles é o conceito de imersăo. Ao analisá-lo, percebeu-se que existe uma gama diferenciada de variáveis que podem influenciar a relaçăo deste com o enlace entre jogo e jogador. A partir disso, esta dissertaçăo teve como objetivo a elaboraçăo de um sistema especialista que é capaz de, com base em dados obtidos pelas respostas dadas a um conjunto de afirmaçőes on-line, apresentar uma visualizaçăo do grau de imersăo de um jogo digital. Para tal, foi feita a caracterizaçăo das variáveis relevantes e utilizaçăo de técnicas inteligęncia artificial, tal como sistemas especialistas. Neste escopo também foram consider adas como essas variáveis influenciam a emoçăo do jogador em relaçăo ao jogo. A partir disto os resultados em relaçăo ao grau de imersăo foram analisados com o auxílio de outras técnicas de Inteligęncia Artificial, como sistema especialista, lógica fuzzy e Self-Organizing Maps, para maximizar a eficácia do processo. O estudo da definiçăo destes parâmetros envolve a exploraçăo de conceitos teóricos básicos de jogos digitais e das variáveis já encontradas em uma pesquisa anterior (narrativa, áudio, vídeo, aspectos sociais, inteligęncia artificial e jogabilidade). Com isto, encontrou-se como a imersăo e os elementos do jogo podem exercer influęncia sobre os sentimentos do jogador. Para a realizaçăo da pesquisa, foi elaborado um questionário on-line para a captaçăo de dados, que foi preenchido por um grupo de 96 jogadores, resultando em 133 questionários completos, com 672 grupos de variáveis preenchidas e 3406 afirmaçőes definidas. Estes dados entăo foram repassados para os apl icativos com Sistema Especialista, Lógica Fuzzy e Self-Organizing Maps, que analisaram a relaçăo da imersăo com a emoçăo. A partir dos dados coletados, análises sobre a influęncia dos elementos dos jogos digitais do estilo Açăo/Aventura foram feitas, definindo como se comporta a imersăo e a emoçăo entre jogos digitais de uma série e estilo, de jogos de uma mesma plataforma e um mesmo jogo lançado em plataformas diferentes. O potencial de um tipo de emoçăo aparecer foi definido para cada jogo e grupos de emoçőes foram encontrados para os jogos de Açăo/Aventura, destacando grupos onde emoçőes como Amor, Ódio, Orgulho e Vergonha săo mais propensos a afetarem os jogadores. Com estes resultados, espera-se possibilitar novas investigaçőes e o estabelecimento de um possível encaminhamento para a definiçăo de diretrizes que colaborem com as atividades profissionais dos desenvolvedores de jogos, bem como estabelecer novas intersecçőes entre a área de jogos… Advisors/Committee Members: Pollyana Notargiacomo Mustaro, Ismar Frango Silveira, Alexandre Cardoso.

A cognitive radio network is a multi-user system, in which different radio units compete for limited resources in an opportunistic manner, interacting with each other for access to the available resources. The fact that both users and spectrum holes (i.e., under-utilized spectrum sub-bands) can come and go in a stochastic manner, makes a cognitive radio network a highly non- stationary, dynamic and challenging wireless environment. Finding robust decentralized resource-allocation algorithms, which are capable of achieving reasonably good solutions fast enough in order to guarantee an acceptable level of performance, is crucial in such an environment. In this thesis, a novel dynamic spectrum management (DSM) scheme for cognitive radio networks, termed the self-organizing dynamic spectrum management (SO-DSM), is described and its practical validity is demonstrated using computer simulations. In this scheme, CRs try to exploit the primary networks’ unused bands and establish link with neighbouring CRs using those bands. Inspired by human brain, the CRs extract and memorize primary network’s and other CRs’ activity patterns and create temporal channel assignments on sub-bands with no recent primary user activities using self-organizing maps (SOM) technique. The proposed scheme is decentralized and employs a simple learning rule with low complexity and minimal memory requirements. A software testbed was developed to simulate and study the proposed scheme. This testbed is capable of simulating CR network alongside of a cellular legacy network. In addition to SO-DSM, two other DSM schemes, namely centralized DSM and no-learning decentralized DSM, can be used for CR networks in this software testbed. The software testbed was deployed on parallel high capacity computing clusters from Sharcnet to perform large scale simulations of CR network. The simulation results show, comparing to centralized DSM and minority game DSM (MG-DSM), the SO-DSM decreases the probability of collision with primary users and also probability of CR link interruption significantly with a moderate decrease in CR network spectrum utilization.

▼ High-stakes testing is prevalent in American schools today and influences decisions made in those schools. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore influences on teacher decision-making about writing instruction in a high-stakes writing assessment grade using a complexity lens. The focus was on one teacher and the state, district, and school system where she worked, acknowledging that schools, teachers, and students are complex, adaptive, self-organizing systems (Davis & Sumara, 2006; Kuhn, 2008; Patterson, Holladay, & Eoyang, 2013). Data were collected through interviews with the district language arts coordinator, the principal, and the teacher along with classroom and grade level team meeting observations and artifacts. Findings show that teaching is a complex adaptive nonlinear decision-making process. This analysis provided rich, detailed, finely grained descriptions of teacher decision-making as a complex adaptive process. Influences on teacher decision-making cannot be talked about as if they are in isolation as each influence is made up of a network of complex unequal influences. Teacher decision-making involves a complex negotiation of tensions brought about by these various influences. Decisions cannot be talked about as if they are made in isolation. Each decision is a part of a network of other decisions. High-stakes testing does influence teacher decision-making in this context along with many other interconnected influences. The educational system influences teachers, but the teacher also has the potential to influence the educational system. Teacher beliefs influence teacher decision-making, but teacher beliefs are not static. Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) (Eoyang & Holladay, 2013) offers descriptions and explanations of teacher decisions. HSD analyses make visible conditions that trigger decisions or generate decisions in the context of the decision-making process. These findings are a step toward understanding underlying conditions that explain decisions that teachers make. These findings also confirm that contextual factors are highly relevant in education systems.

O elevado custo de manutenção nos ambientes industriais motivou pesquisas de novas técnicas para melhorar as ações de reparos. Com a evolução tecnológica, principalmente da eletrônica, que proporcionou o uso de sistemas embarcados para melhorar as atividades de manutenção, estas agregaram inteligência e evoluíram para uma manutenção pró-ativa. Através de ferramentas de processamento de sinais, inteligência artificial e tolerância a falhas, surgiram novas abordagens para os sistemas de monitoramento a serviço da equipe de manutenção. Os ditos sistemas de manutenção inteligente, cuja tarefa é realizar testes em funcionamento (on-line) nos equipamentos industriais, promovem novos modelos de confiabilidade e disponibilidade. Tais sistemas são baseados nos conceitos de tolerância a falhas, e visam detectar, diagnosticar e predizer a ocorrência de falhas. Deste modo, fornece-se aos engenheiros de manutenção a informação antecipada do estado de comportamento do equipamento antes mesmo deste manifestar uma falha, reduzindo custos, aumentando a vida útil e tornando previsível o reparo. Para o desenvolvimento do sistema de manutenção inteligente objeto deste trabalho, foram estudadas técnicas de inteligência artificial (redes neurais artificiais), técnicas de projeto de sistemas embarcados e de prototipação em plataformas de hardware. No presente trabalho, a rede neural Mapas Auto-Organizáveis foi adotada como ferramenta base para detecção e diagnóstico de falhas. Esta foi prototipada numa plataforma de sistema embarcado baseada na tecnologia FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Como estudo de caso, uma válvula elétrica utilizada em dutos para transporte de petróleo foi definida como aplicação alvo dos experimentos. Através de um modelo matemático, um conjunto de dados representativo do comportamento da válvula foi simulado e utilizado como entrada do sistema proposto. Estes dados visam o treinamento da rede neural e visam fornecer casos de teste para experimentação no sistema. Os experimentos executados em software validaram o uso da rede neural como técnica para detecção e diagnóstico de falhas em válvulas elétricas. Por fim, também realizou-se experimentos a fim de validar o projeto do sistema embarcado, comparando-se os resultado obtidos com este aos resultados obtidos a partir de testes em software. Os resultados revelam a escolha correta do uso da rede neural e o correto projeto do sistema embarcado para desempenhar as tarefas de detecção e diagnóstico de falhas em válvulas elétricas.

The high costs of maintenance in industrial environments have motivated research for new techniques to improve repair activities. The technological progress, especially in the electronics field, has provided for the use of embedded systems to improve repair, by adding intelligence to the system and turning the maintenance a proactive activity. Through tools like signal processing, artificial intelligence and fault-tolerance, new approaches to monitoring systems have emerged to serve the maintenance staff, leading to new models of…

▼ Managing within social-ecological systems at the landscape scale, such as in the national forests of the Sierra Nevada of California, is challenging to natural resource managers (e.g. the U.S. Forest Service) due to the uncertainties in natural processes and the complexities in social dynamics. Collaborative adaptive management (CAM) has been recently adopted as a viable strategy to diminish uncertainties in natural processes through iterative policy experimentations and adaptations, as well as to overcome conflicting values and goals among diverse environmental stakeholders through fostering and facilitating collaborations. While many CAM studies have focused on evaluating the management impact on natural systems and processes, few have examined the social engagements and dynamics of management itself. To address this knowledge gap, I examined the various social engagements in CAM, particularly the flow of information products, dialogues in public meetings, and social connections among participants, based on my research case study – the Sierra Nevada Adaptive Management Project (SNAMP).SNAMP began in 2005 in response to the USDA National Forest Service's 2004 Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment calls for managing the forest using the best information available to protect forests and homes. The participants in the project can be sorted into three primary categories of environmental stakeholders: federal and state environmental agencies, the public and environmental advocacy groups, and university scientists. The project studies the impact of forest fuel reduction treatment on forest health, fire mitigation and prevention, wildlife, and water quality and quantity at two study sites: Last Chance in the northern region of the Sierra forests at Sugar Pine in the southern region. The primary strategies and methods for fostering partnership and facilitating collaboration among the diverse participants are producing science information and making it transparent and publicly accessible, as well as facilitating discussions about such research and management results in public meetings. To evaluate the effectiveness of CAM in the case of SNAMP, I used a mixed-methods research approach (i.e. citation analysis, web analytics, content analysis, self-organizing maps, social network analysis), by leveraging available information technologies and tools, to characterize and analyze the flow of digital information products, the outcomes of facilitated discussions in SNAMP public meetings, and the resilience of the social networks in SNAMP. Some of the interesting findings include: 1) Scientific knowledge products, in the form of peer-reviewed journal publications, contributed to knowledge transfer between scientists and environmental managers; 2) facilitated discussions helped environmental stakeholders to stay engaged on the important administrative and research topics through time; 3) the social networks experienced turbulence but remained resilient due to the existence of a committed and consistent core group of environmental…

▼ Abstract: The objective of this thesis consists in arguing that (a) conditionals constitute the logical form underlying the manifestation of natural laws, biological laws, and psycho-behavioral habits. It is also argued that (b) even though we find the same logical form underlying the manifestation of these regularities (laws and habits), we do not find, however, the same degree of connection between antecedents and consequents in the relevant contexts of reality (physico-chemical, biological, and psycho-behavioral). In accord with our interpretation of part of Peirce's cosmological hypothesis, we argue that (c) natural laws strongly determine their consequents (if the antecedent occurs, then the consequent almost necessarily follows), (d) biological laws moderately determine their consequents (if the antecedent occurs, then the consequent very probably follows), and (e) psycho-behavioral habits weakly determine their consequents (if the antecedent occurs, then the consequent probably follows) We use the appellation "hypothesis of the spectrum of determination of causal conditionals" to express these different modalities of connection between antecedents and consequents (almost-necessary, very probable, and probable). Based on the semantics of David Lewis (2005), we propose (f) a model for this spectrum of determination, and we seek to express the determination of the conditional and, at the same time, to allow room for indetermination or chance. We seek (g) to characterize system and organization, and we argue that (h) a habit constitutes an organizational component in the psycho-behavioral structure of an agent. We offer (i) a threefold classification of habits into habits that establish the features of the identity of the system/agent, rational habits, and degenerate habits. We seek (j) to characterize self-organization, and (k) to analyze how a process of secondary self-organization establishes itself in the psycho-behavioral structure of an agent Advisors/Committee Members: UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS (CRUESP), D'Ottaviano, Itala Maria Loffredo, 1944- (advisor), Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The debilitating social, economic and environmental ramifications of traffic congestion are experienced in large cities the world over. The optimisation of traffic signal timings at signalised road intersections attempts to mitigate the extent of these adverse effects of traffic congestion by reducing the delay time experienced by vehicles in a transport network. Today, traffic signal control schemes may be classiffied into one of two main classes, namely fixed-time traffic signal control strategies, which are typically cyclic in nature, and vehicle-actuated traffic signal control strategies, which are typically acyclic in nature. Generally, cyclic control strategies tend to lack exibility, and are unable to adapt to short-term uctuations in traffic ow rates, resulting in green times that are either too long or too short. On the other hand, acyclic control strategies tend to lack coordination between intersections, resulting in vehicles being required to stop at the majority of signalised intersections they encounter. Self-organising traffic signal control has been proposed as an attractive alternative form of control which both exhibits exibility and facilitates a global coordination between intersections as a result of localised signal switching policies. Two examples of existing self-organising traffic signal control algorithms from the literature include an algorithm proposed by Lammer and Helbing in 2008 and an algorithm proposed by Gershenson and Rosenblueth in 2012. These algorithms have been shown to outperform both optimised fixed-time traffc signal control techniques as well as state-of-the-art vehicle actuated trffic signal control techniques, in terms of reducing vehicle delay time in a transport network. A draw-back of both of these self-organising approaches, however, is that their effective operation relies on carefully selected parameter values; poorly selected parameter values may render these algorithms very ineffectual. In this dissertation, three novel self-organising traffic signal traffic control algorithms are proposed. These three algorithms assume the use of existing radar detection sensors mounted at the intersection to provide the necessary input data. The radar detection sensors are capable of detecting and tracking individual vehicles approaching an intersection, providing real-time information pertaining to their physical dimensions, velocities, and ranges from the intersection in terms of both time and distance. The three traffic signal control algorithms are free of any user-specialised parameters, and instead rely solely on the data provided by the radar detection sensors to inform their signal switching policies. The first of these traffic signal control algorithms is inspired by inventory control theory, and draws parallels between the monetary costs typically considered in inventory control models and the delay time costs associated with traffic control at signalised intersections, which the algorithm attempts to minimise.
