Systems The first speaker was Colonel Peter Kovats, United States Air Force, Chief of Aerospace Medicine at RAF Lakenheath UK. He spoke on Aeromedical Evacuation – ‘from point of wounding all the way home’. Colonel Kovats gave an extensive review of intra/inter-theatre air-evacuation and discussed 7656 patients injured in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2010. 15% were military coalition casualtie...

Traffic and Patrol Police Service Platforms in short, TPPSP in the city have been playing an important role in dealing with emergency and traffic administration. The national college mathematical modeling contest of China in 2011 proposed the problem related to the optimal dispatch of TPPSP. However, only the case without any traffic congestion is considered for the problem. It is well known th...

This paper reports on an evolutionary algorithm based method for solving the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The objective is to minimize the nonlinear function, which is the total fuel cost of thermal generating units, subject to the usual constraints. The IEEE 30 bus test system was used for testing and validation purposes. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the propo...

Multiple Row Displacement (MRD) is a new dispatch technique for multi-method languages. It is based on compressing an n-dimensional table using an extension of the single-receiver row displacement mechanism. This paper presents the new algorithm and provides experimental results that compare it with implementations of existing techniques: compressed n-dimensional tables, look-up automata and si...

This paper presents an efficient emission constrained economic dispatch algorithm that deals with nonlinear cost function and constraints. It is then incorporated into the dynamic programming based hydrothermal coordination program. The program has been tested on a practical utility system having 32 thermal and 12 hydro generating units. Test results show that a slight increase in production co...

In this paper, we present a comparison of five dispatching rules that aim to reduce the mean and the variance of cycle times. The performance of the dispatch rules is evaluated using simulation results for two large semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities. The results show that which dispatch rule achieves the best results depends on the fab, on the load of the fab and on the product.

In object-oriented languages, overloaded methods with multiple dispatch extend the functionality of existing classes, and multiple inheritance allows a class to reuse code in multiple classes. However, both multiple dispatch and multiple inheritance introduce the possibility of ambiguous method calls that cannot be resolved at run time. To guarantee no ambiguous calls at run time, the overloade...

Economic dispatch (ED) has been considered to be one of the key functions in electric power system operation which can help to build up effective generating management plans. The practical ED problem has non-smooth cost function with nonlinear constraints which make it difficult to be effectively solved. This paper presents a novel heuristic and efficient optimization approach based on the new ...
