The restructuring of global power industries has introduced a number of challenges, such as conflicting planning objectives and increasing uncertainties, to transmission network planners. During the recent past, a number of distributed generation technologies also reached a stage allowing large scale implementation, which will profoundly influence the power industry, as well as the practice of ...

like other economic markets, housing market is comprised of supply and demand dimensions and equality of supply and demand makes the housing market balanced. the aim of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of housing market of tehran city and some deficiencies of this market with fundamental – applied methodology. the variable studied here is the saleable residential unit with minim...

As environmental criteria become more and more important for the energy systems operation and planning, this paper proposes a method that can support the decision makers in future electricity systems planning. The evaluation of future electric power transmission investment plans is based on a social welfare analysis when the external costs of production are internalized. The social benefit can ...

After an earthquake, disaster sites pose a multitude of health and safety concerns. A rescue operation of people trapped in the ruins after an earthquake disaster requires a series of intelligent behavior, including planning. For a successful rescue operation, given a limited number of available actions and regulations, the role of planning in rescue operations is crucial. Fortunately, recent d...

This paper describes results from a demonstration study utilising an integrated approach (SAMREL) for reliability of electricity supply analysis. The SAMREL methodology is based on a power market simulator (EMPS), a power system simulator (PSSE) and the OPAL methodology for reliability and interruption cost assessment. The integrated methodology is used for short and long term planning, such as...

This paper describes a prototype implementation of a configuration system which uses automated planning techniques to compute workflows between declarative states. The resulting workflows are executed using the popular combination of ControlTier and Puppet. This allows the tool to be used in unattended “autonomic” situations where manual workflow specification is not feasible. It also ensures t...

Good investment planning is the beginning to achieve goals. Price fluctuations in capital market and financial behavior are guides for community making plans. The low level of literacy causes people more often forget make plans if they made only based on feelings. Thus, it necessary have a system that helps effective expert was chosen because has everything needed meet these needs. In this stud...

Distributed case-based reasoning architectures have the potential to improve the overall performance of case-based reasoning systems. In this paper we describe a collaborative case-based reasoning architecture, which allows problem solving experiences to be shared among multiple agents. We demonstrate how this technique can be used successfully to solve an important challenge in the area of per...
