Designing systems for low power, or low power codesign, was not very much addressed as a whole by the current research. There has been considerable work on low power hardware, some on software power consumption and little on low power communication. This paper will present a motivation for addressing power consumption at system level together with an overview of the design methods for low power...

Previous work has studied the use of interval representations in XCS to allow its use in continuous-valued environments. Here we compare the speed of learning of continuous-valued versions of ZCS and XCS with a simple model of an online environment.

ower system loads are sensitive to frequency and following system frequency changes the aggregate load change follows the frequency deviation. When a generating unit is tripped or additional load is added to the system, the power mismatch is initially compensated by an extraction of the kinetic energy from the system inertial storage (the spinning masses) that causes a system frequency drop. As...

Empowerment may be at the individual, organizational or up to the whole of country level. This paper examines ICT initiatives as an empowerment enabler in rural India. One rural eHealth empowerment initiative is the Karnataka Internet Assisted Diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity (KIDROP). An example of an eGovernance initiative is Bhoomi, while the rollout of computers will enable not only ...

Wireless sensor networks are expected to revolutionize our abilities in sensing and controlling the physical environment. Power conservation is a primary research concern for these networks, due to the limited energy resources of the sensor nodes. In this paper we study the data delivery approaches, suitable for hierarchical cluster based wireless sensor networks. A radio energy dissipation mod...

This article studies the optimization of pricing decisions in a supply chain with different channels under different power structure. Three different channel will be considered here; these include: the decentralized, the semi-integrated, and the integrated channel. There are two types of power balance structures for both the decentralized and the semi-integrated channels. The first type is a le...
