the continuous spread of distributed energy resources (ders) such as combined heating and power (chp), diesel generators, boilers and renewable energy sources provide an effective solution to energy related problems to serve the power and heat demands with minimum cost. moreover, the ders may play a significant role for supplying power and heat in rural areas, where grid electricity is not avai...

Chain-based scheduling 1] is an eecient partitioning and scheduling scheme for nested loops on distributed-memory multicomputers. The idea is to take advantage of the regular data dependence structure of a nested loop to overlap and pipeline the communication and computation. Most partitioning and scheduling algorithms proposed for nested loops on multicomputers 1,2,3] are graph algorithms on t...

In this paper, a new schedule generation scheme for resourceconstrained project scheduling problems is proposed. Given a project scheduling problem and a priority rule, a schedule generation scheme determines a single feasible solution by inserting one by one each activity, according to their priority, inside a partial schedule. The paper proposes a generation scheme that differs from the class...

Automated planning and scheduling, including automated path planning, has been integrated with an Internet-based distributed operations system for planetary rover operations. The resulting prototype system enables faster generation of valid rover command sequences by a distributed planetary rover operations team. The Web Interface for Telescience (WITS) provides Internet-based distributed colla...
