rithm that is provably sound and complete across a large class of planning domains. It plans for tasks in the same order that they will later be executed, and thus, it knows the current world state at each step of the planning process. SHOP takes advantage of this knowledge by allowing a high degree of expressive power in its knowledge bases. For example, SHOP’s preconditions can include logica...

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...

The objective of this paper is to examine the standing and thinking of regional planning in the country’s planning system with an emphasis on national development plans. It intends to see to what extent and how this objective has been achieved or this type of thinking has been incorporated into development plans. By scrutinizing these plans both in pre-and post-revolutionary periods, the paper ...

production planning is performed through diverse methods according to the type of the system it is structured upon. one of the most important steps before production planning is to determine which system best fits the firm, and how the facilities should be designed. both job-shop and group-technology systems have their own cons and pros, each of which is suitable to a specific kind of factory. ...

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...
