The efficiency of the classic planning methods for solving realistic problems largely relies on an accurate prediction of the future. Nevertheless, the presence of strategic uncertainties in current electricity markets has made prediction and even forecasting essentially futile. The new paradigm of decision-making involves two major deviations from the conventional planning approach. On one han...

Objective: This study examined the hypothesis that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inattentive type (ADHD-I), show both executive function (EF) deficits and non-EF deficits. Method: A group with ADHD-I (n = 16) and a paired control group (n = 21) completed a battery of tasks covering the major domains of EF (planning, working memory, flexibility and inhi...

When an organization decides on the level of flexibility in handling business process instances, it needs to impose this level in operational practice. The way of imposing a given level of flexibility depends on the means employed for controlling business processes. When a Business Process Support (BPS) system is used, the flexibility limits can be incorporated in it. Achieving flexibility when...

This paper presents a cost-based TSO-DSO coordination model to quantify the value of local flexibility services and analyze its impact on transmission grid expansion system operation. Flexibility is provided DC power flow by microgrids within integrated AC distribution model. The model’s objective minimize overall cost investments procured achieved using bilevel optimization approach where exch...

Interacting Storytelling systems integrate AI techniques such as planning with narrative representations to generate stories. In this paper, we discuss the use of planning formalisms in Interactive Storytelling from the perspective of story generation and authoring. We compare two different planning formalisms, Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning and Heuristic Search Planning (HSP). While ...

new planning methodology for coping with this uncertainty caused by disruptions is presented. Planning steps described by their preconditions and their consequences are used for material requirements planning and scheduling. Preconditions of planning steps have to be satisfied in a certain state of environment for the planning steps to be applicable. Consequences of planning steps change the st...

Due to short product life cycles, increasing variety of products and short cycles of leap innovations manufacturing companies have to increase the flexibility of factory structures. Flexibility of factory structures is based on defined factory planning processes in which product, process and resource data of various partial domains have to be considered. Thus factory planning processes can be c...
