The utilization of the wind to generate electrical energy is increasing rapidly throughout the world. By the end of 2009, the worldwide installed wind capacity reached 159,213 MW (World Wind Energy Report 2009). Wind turbine generators can be added and are being added in large grid connected electric power systems. Wind power, however, behaves quite differently than conventional electric power ...

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems enjoy an increasingly wide coverage. However, no truly integrate solution has been proposed as yet. ERP classification is given. Recent trends in commercial systems are analyzed on the basis of human resources (HR) management software. An innovative “straight through” design and implementation process of an open, secure, and scalable integrated event-d...

Market competition requires continuous improvement in the design and operation of supply chains. Warehouse management is a field of interest for both practitioners and researchers and involves material, information and financial flow management in a highly dynamic environment. Designing and planning a warehouse (distribution centre) involve different levels of decisionmaking, with high levels o...

The airline fleet assignment problem involves assigning aircrafts to flights to maximize profit. Different fleet assignment solutions cause dramatically different performance in subsequent crew planning and operational processes. We have developed an integrated fleet and crew robust planning method to provide fleet assignment solutions that are both friendly to crew planning and robust to real ...

The present paper focuses on the development of an integrated assessment model that embeds the web dimension and aims at increasing awareness in society, especially on environmental issues. The model incorporates features that make it capable of promoting participatory planning procedures in dealing with environmental problems. The first part of the paper presents the notion of both Integrated ...

In this paper, we present ICEPT, a new mobile radio network planning tool that is based on an integrated design approach. The new approach starts with the analysis of the spatial distribution of the expected teletra c within the service area of the cellular system. Employing this principle, the ICEPT tool considers concurrently the four major design areas of cellular networks: Radio Transmissio...

From assistive rehabilitation to autonomous exploration, robotics effectively allows us to more consistently explore smarter and farther. To realize this requires designing agile systems – as efficient and fluid operation implies driving near performance bounds. My research interests are in synthesizing dynamic motion. I look at this from both: (1) an integrated planning and control perspective...

The paper presents the conception and achievement of a CAPP module integrated in a CIM system. For the conception of the CAPP module the DB, OOP and OODBMS methods have been integrated in . Thus, a hybride CAPP module (TechCIM) have been realised, which was integrated into a CIM system designed for the manufacturing of the cardanic transmissions from cars. By integrating of the product concepti...

As the demand for mobile communication services increases, network planning needs to be optimized to cope with both increased traffic demand and limited spectrum. In this paper we present a new approach to cellular network planning that integrates teletraffic issues and radio engineering to automatically achieve optimized planning solutions. The core of this technique is the notion of demand no...
