In this paper, Multi-Microgrids (MMG) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (SSER) are main power generation units with small scales. Optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. The defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

Neural networks can be viewed as circuits of highly interconnected parallel processing units called ‘neurons’. The most commonly used models of neurons are linear threshold gates or, when continuity or differentiability is required, elements with a sigmoid input-output function. Because of the recent advance in VLSI technology, neural network has also emerged as a new technology and has found w...

The central nervous system (CNS) is specialized in processing information originating from a variety of internal and external sources. Its basic information processing units are called nerve cells, or neurons. Within the CNS, these elementary building blocks are densely interconnected in hierarchical and parallel pathways. Information originating from sensory neurons in contact with the body pe...

We present the status of a project which aims at building, formally and pervasively verifying a distributed automotive system. The target system is a gate-level model which consists of several interconnected electronic control units with independent clocks. This model is verified against the specification as seen by a system programmer. The automotive system is implemented on several FPGA board...

QPACE is a novel massively parallel architecture optimized for lattice QCD simulations. A single QPACE node is based on the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor. The nodes are interconnected by a custom 3-dimensional torus network implemented on an FPGA. The compute power of the processor is provided by 8 Synergistic Processing Units. Making efficient use of these accelerator cores in scientific applica...

We designed and trained a connectionist network to generate letterfonns in a new font given just a few exemplars from that font. During learning. our network constructed a distributed internal representation of fonts as well as letters. despite the fact that each training instance exemplified both a font and a letter. It was necessary to have separate but interconnected hidden units for " lette...

In this work, we present the data structures that were developed for the Rhapsodie project, an intonosyntactic annotation project of spoken French. Phoneticians and syntacticians work on different base units: a time aligned sound file for the former, and a partially ordered list of tokens for the latter. The alignment between the sound-file and the tokens is partial and nontrivial. We propose t...
