This paper proposes an advanced distribution automation planning problem in which emergency-based demand response plans are incorporated during service restoration process. The fitness function of this planning problem consists of various costs associated with fault occurrence in electric distribution systems consisting of the total yearly cost of customers’ interruptions, the total annualized ...

The Sensor Planning Service (SPS) is service model to define the web service interface for requesting user driven acquisitions and observation. It’s defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) group to provide standardized interface for tasking sensors to allow to defining, checking, modifying and cancelling tasks of sensor and sensor data. The goal of Sensor Pla...

decentralization is the process of dispersing decision-making closer to the point of peripheral area, service or action. basically decentralized governance, if properly planned and implemented, offers important opportunities for enhanced human development. the studies about this issue in different countries show that most of the decentralizations have been implemented in european countries and ...

In this paper, we propose a novel limited feedback scheme for task planning with service robots. Instead of sending the full service robot state information for the task planning, the proposed scheme send the best-M indices of service robots with a indicator. With the indicator, the proposed scheme significantly reduces the communication overhead for task planning as well as mitigates the syste...

One of the most challenging issues of service–centric software engineering is the QoS–aware composition of services. The aim is to search for the optimal set of services that, composed to create a new service, result in the best QoS, under the user or service designer constraints. During service execution, re-planning such a composition may be needed whenever deviations from the QoS estimates o...

OBJECTIVE To assess the quality of care in government family planning clinic services in Colombo District. DESIGN Descriptive cross-sectional study. SETTINGS Government family planning clinics in the Colombo District. STUDY SAMPLE The study was conducted in 23 government family planning clinics in the Colombo District selected through stratified sampling. 593 women visiting these clinics ...

Web service paths can accomplish customer requirements. During the execution of a web service path, violations of service level agreements (SLAs) will cause the path to be re-planed (healed). Existing re-planning techniques generally suffer from shortcomings of ignoring the effect of requirement change. This paper proposes a two-leveled path re-planning technique (TLPRP), which offers the follo...

We show how the service composition problem can be viewed as a planning problem in which state descriptions are ambiguous and operator definitions are incomplete. We then discuss the problem of interpreting documents (which describe the world state), and introduce a semantic type matching algorithm. The matching algorithm together with an interleaved search and execution algorithm allow for bas...
