Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...

A multi-resolution approach is presented for data on a large class of hierarchical and nested grids. It is based on a procedural interface and a set of hierarchical and adaptive visualization methods. Such a method consists of a recursive traversal of mesh elements from the grid hierarchy combined with an adaptive stopping according to some error indicator which is closely related to the visual...

ASSIST is a programming environment supporting the development of parallel and distributed high-performance applications on a wide range of target architectures including massively parallel clusters/networks of workstations and Grids. We discuss how ASSIST can act as a valid research vehicle to study, experiment and realize Gridaware programming environments for high-performance applications. S...

The partitioning of an adaptive grid for distribution over parallel processors is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for solving partial differential equations. A partitioning method based on the refinement-tree is presented. This method applies to most types of grids in two and three dimensions. For triangular and tetrahedral grids, it is guaranteed to produce connected p...

Accurate numerical modeling of complex physical, chemical, and biological systems requires numerical simulation capability over a large range of length scales, with the ability to capture rapidly varying phenomena localized in space and/or time. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a numerical process for dynamically introducing local fine resolution on computational grids during the solution proc...
