Previous research has demonstrated that context memory performance decreases as a result of cognitive load. However, the role of specific executive resources availability has not been specified yet. In a dual-task experiment, participants performed three kinds of concurrent task engaging: inhibition, updating, or shifting operations. In comparison with a no-load single-task condition, a signifi...

Demand-side strategies for shaping the fast dynamics of the bulk power transmission network are explored. Specifically, the design of demand response strategies is pursued, with the aim of modulating the network’s operating point so as to achieve desirable small-signal characteristics. The design problem is posed as an optimization problem wherein the total demand responsive load is held consta...

We present results from an experiment where the effects of automatic flow control at a single substation is compared to automatic cooperative concurrent flow control at multiple substations. The latter approach is made possible by equipping individual substations with some computing power and integrating them into a communications network. Software agents, whose purpose is to cooperate with oth...

We present results from experiments where the effects of flow control at a single substation are compared to distributed flow control at multiple substations. The latter approach is made possible by equipping individual substations with some computing power and integrating them into a communications network. Software agents, who cooperate with other software agents (substations) and invoke time...

Mobility load balancing is widely used in LTE cellular systems to deal with the uneven load distribution. Its basic idea is to shift traffic from a hot-spot cell to less-loaded neighbouring cells, called partners. Conventional schemes focus on the hot-spot cell’s load reduction and pay less attention to the performance of partners. This paper proposes a self-optimised coordinated traffic shifti...

Increasing demand for computing has lead to the development of large-scale, highly optimized data centers, which represent large loads in electric power network. Many major and internet companies operate multiple centers spread geographically across world. Thus, these have a unique ability shift load, thus geographically. This paper provides bottom-up load shifting model uses centers' geographi...
