The increasing penetration of renewable energies influences and changes the transmission task of electricity in Germany. However, the planning and construction of new lines is met with resistance from the public. To address public concerns adequately, a tailored information and communication concept is needed, for which knowledge about acceptance-relevant factors for different user groups is in...

(Appears as a regular paper in the Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI), Washington D.C, IEEE Computer Society, Nov. 2002, pp. 138-145. 27 out of 84 submissions were accepted as regular papers leading to 32 acceptance rate.) Significant advances in plan synthesis under classical assumptions have occurred in last seven years. All such efficie...

A number of industrial applications advocate the use of time triggered approaches for reasons of predictability, cost, product reuse, and maintenance. The rigid offline scheduling schemes used for time triggered systems, however, do not provide for flexibility. At runtime, aperiodic tasks can only be included into the unused resources of the offline schedule, supporting neither guarantees nor f...

I study school assignment problems, focusing on two popular mechanisms: the Boston Mechanism (BM) and Deferred Acceptance (DA). The former has been criticized regarding both e¢ ciency and fairness, particularly its treatment of naïve (non-strategic) students. The latter has been suggested in its place, and has already replaced the former in several cities. The formal critique of BM and support ...

There is intense interest about human factors issues in interactive computer systems for life-critical applications, industrial/commercial uses, and personal computing in the office or home. Primary design goals include proper functionality, adequate reliability, suitable cost, and adherence to schedule. Measurable human factors issues include time to learn, speed of performance, rate of errors...

We analyze three applied incentive compatibility conditions within a class of queueing problems motivated by the reassignment of flights to airport landing slots. A preexisting landing schedule becomes wasteful when airlines privately learn updates about their flights’ cancelations or feasible flight times. The FAA’s objective is to create a new queue that does not waste landing slots. We separ...
