In this paper, we present samap, whose goal is to build a software tool to help different people visit different cities. This tool integrates modules that dynamically capture user models, determine lists of activities that can provide more utility to a user given the past experience of the system with similar users, and generates plans that can be executed by the user. This system is intended t...

Mobile agent workflow management/plugins is quite appropriate to handle control flows in open distributed system; basically it is the emerging technology which can bring the process oriented tasks to run as a single unit from diverse frameworks. This workflow technology offers organizations the opportunity to reshape business processes beyond the boundaries of their own organizations so that in...

This paper proposes a method for choosing the best coordinated expansion planning of generation and transmission systems considering an annual outage cost and a probabilistic power system reliability criterion (RLOLEGTS). The objective method minimizes a total cost which are not only an investment budget for constructing new generators and transmission lines but also an annual outage cost. Main...

This dissertation is a systematic study of electric power distribution system reliability evaluation and improvement. Reliability evaluation of electric power systems has traditionally been an integral part of planning and operation. Changes in the electric utility coupled with aging electric apparatus create a need for more realistic techniques for power system reliability modeling. This work ...

This paper presents an application of Benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) and Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP). Unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. However, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...
