The proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), located at the Distribution System Operator (DSO) level, bring new opportunities as well challenges to operations within grid, specifically, when it comes interaction with Transmission (TSO). To enable interoperability, while ensuring higher flexibility and cost-efficiency, DSOs TSO need be efficiently coordinated. Difficulties behind cr...

Procedural Reasoning Systems (PRS) have inspired some works in execution control and supervision, in particular in robotics applications. However, one of the main drawback of the PRS is the lack of planning capabilities, even though some of PRS execution mechanisms and knowledge representations are related to planning. In this paper, we propose some extensions to PRS, to integrate both executio...

Active Traffic Management (ATM) applications, such as variable speed limits, queue warning systems, and dynamic ramp metering, have been shown to offer mobility and safety benefits. Yet because they differ from conventional capacity investments in terms of cost, service life, and operating requirements, how to incorporate them into the planning process is not clear. To facilitate such incorpora...

Hospital case mix and capacity planning involves the decision making both on patient volumes that can be taken care of at a hospital and on resource requirements and capacity management. In this research, to advance both the hospital resource efficiency and the health care service level, a multilevel integrative approach to the planning problem is proposed on the basis of mathematical programmi...

While work on AI planning systems dates back to the early 70’s, applications of AI planning systems are few and far between. This paper describes several major obstacles to the fielding of planning systems related to: plan representation and usage, operational contexts of planning systems, and knowledge acquisition and maintenance for planning knowledge. We use examples drawn from our experienc...
