While energy infrastructure can contribute to economic development goals, they differ in potential to contribute to local livelihoods. In discussion of distributed energy scenarios and trade-offs it is important to consider the importance of rural energy access especially in a state where the total rural population is so significant. Scale and localized needs are important considerations in ene...

Both the input data and the output generated have reached levels exceeding the data management capabilities and the storage capacities of the researcher's workstation or other local facilities. We here describe FTM, a system deployed at the University of Stuttg...

Real-world applications typically permit only constant time intervals between subsequent moves of an agent interacting with an environment. Hence there is a need to efficiently distribute the limited computation time and also other resources available for planning ahead and for evaluating alternative future action sequences. In this paper we study a particular instance of this general problem, ...
