This paper presents optimal phasor measurement units (PMUs) placement algorithms for power system observability. The optimal placement problem (OPP) is formulated such that minimizing the number of PMU installations for full network observability. Three approaches, in this paper, are introduced aiming at reducing the computational burden in Optimal Placement problems. Depth First Search, Simula...

Numerous replica placement algorithms have been proposed in the literature for use in content delivery networks. However, little has been done to compare the various placement algorithms against each other and against caching. This paper debates whether we need replica placement algorithms in content delivery networks or not. The paper uses extensive evaluation of algorithms, systems and web wo...

In this paper, we develop a new standard cell placement tool, Dragon2000, to solve large scale placement problem eeectively. A top-down hierarchical approach is used in Dragon2000. State-of-the-art partitioning tools are tightly integrated with wirelength minimization techniques to achieve superior performance. We argue that net-cut minimization is a good and important shortcut to solve the lar...

The various optimal capacitor placement techniques on transmission and distributions lines for line losses reduction and enhancement of voltage stability in the power system network have been proposed so far in different papers. Optimal Capacitor placement is an optimization problem which has an objective to define the sizes and locations of capacitors to be installed. This paper focuses on the...

Placement disruptions undermine efforts of child welfare agencies to promote safety, permanency, and child well-being. Child behavior problems significantly contribute to placement changes. The aims of this investigation were to examine the impact of a foster parent training and support intervention (KEEP) on placement changes and to determine whether the intervention mitigates placement disrup...

The main issues characterizing current video applications are their strong requirements for huge storage spaces and their need for timing synchronization Video data storage is a critical research topic due to the so called I O bottle neck problem which a ects the quality of service of video applications This paper introduces a two level video data representation model in order to guide video da...

This paper presents Genetic Algorithm based approach to shunt capacitor placement in distribution systems specially IEEE 30 bus system for optimal configuration with the multi-objective placement problem for enhancement of distribution system reliability. IEEE 30 bus is well defined and load flow is evaluated to observe the line losses, p.f. and voltage profile. Placement of shunt capacitor ban...
