Optimal Design of Modular Electrical Infrastructure for Large-Scale Electric Bus Depots

SNPbox: a modular software package for large-scale primer design

UNLABELLED We developed a modular software package SNPbox that automates and standardizes the generation of PCR primers and is used in the strategy for constructing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) maps. In this strategy, the focus of primer design can be either on the validation of annotated public SNPs or on the SNP discovery in exon regions or extended genomic regions, both by resequen...

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls

VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...

CONSTRAINED BIG BANG-BIG CRUNCH ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMAL SOLUTION OF LARGE SCALE RESERVOIR OPERATION PROBLEM

A constrained version of the Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm for the efficient solution of the optimal reservoir operation problems is proposed in this paper. Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic population-based algorithm that relies on one of the theories of the evolution of universe namely, the Big Bang and Big Crunch theory. An improved formulation of the algorithm na...

SCRIBE: The Design of a Large-Scale Event Notification Infrastructure

In this paper we outline the design of Scribe, a reliable large-scale event notification infrastructure, built on top of a peer-to-peer object location and routing infrastructure overlayed on the Internet (Pastry). Scribe provides large-scale distributed applications with a highly flexible group communication protocol. Scribe leverages Pastry [1] and benefits from its robustness, reliability, s...
