Landmarks (LMs) are state features that need to be made true or tasks contained in every solution of a planning problem. They valuable source information and can exploited various ways. LMs have been used both classical hierarchical planning, but while there is much work the techniques less evolved. We introduce novel LM generation method for Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) show it sound incomp...

This paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. The implemented technique is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-bus distri...

Existing approaches to text generation fail to consider how interactions with the user may be managed within a coherent explanation or description. This paper presents an approach to generating such interactive explanations based on two levels of discourse planning content planning and dialogue planning. The system developed allows aspects of the changing context to be monitored with an explana...

This paper argues that transportation planning methodologies must be built on the central thesis of the activity-based approach to travel demand modeling, namely, that travel is a derived demand that reflects people’s desire and need to participate in activities. The paper discusses why this foundation for transportation planning methodologies is necessary to address contemporary planning and p...

The paper proposes an architecture for advanced NLG systems that handle narratives. Special attention is paid to document planning. Domain modelling and meta-knowledge modelling for a narratological structurer are exemplified.

Wind and solar generators differ from conventional generators in their generation characteristics. The variable output and imperfect predictability of these generators face a stochastic approach to plan and operate the power system without fundamentally changing the operation and planning problems. This paper overviews stochastic modeling challenges in operations, generation planning, and trans...

Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) is one of major modules of power system planning studies, normally performed for the nex 10-30 years horizon. The current industrial practices are to find the generation requirements based on a nodal analysis. In this way, the allocations are not determined and subequent studies are required to find the exact locations which as decomposed from the earli...
