The challenge faced by supplier companies in the grocery supply chain for implementing collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is how to get the retailer to forecast, especially when it has not been necessary before. In this paper a solution that would allow collaboration on a wide scale is presented. The forecasting approach is called `̀ rank and share’’ and uses input from...

The construction of community charging facilities and supporting distribution networks based on the predicted results electric vehicle (EV) power in saturation year has resulted a large initial idleness network serious waste assets. To solve this problem, paper proposes collaborative planning method for urban networks. First, load density occupancy rate to predict base electricity community, Ba...

Precise coordinated planning over a forward time window enables safe and highly efficient motion when many robots must work together in tight spaces, but this would normally require centralised control of all devices which is difficult to scale. We demonstrate GBP Planning, new purely distributed technique based on Gaussian Belief Propagation for multi-robot problems, formulated by generic fact...
