Hierarchical Bayesian optimization of an aircraft-based multi-agent system-of-systems

The paper presents a hierarchical Bayesian optimization framework that uses Gaussian process meta-modeling to address the challenges of optimizing complex system-of-systems (SoS) architectures. It handles discrete architectural choices, conditional dependencies, and heterogeneous design variables, improving search efficiency and robustness over conventional surrogate-based methods. The approach is demonstrated on an aircraft-based multi-agent system for wildfire suppression, showing its applicability to large, diverse design spaces with limited simulation budgets.
