Multicriteria Decisions in Urban Energy System Planning: A Review

François Maréchal, Sébastien Cajot

Urban energy system planning (UESP) is a topic of growing concern for cities in deregulated energy markets, which plan to decrease energy demand, reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, and increase the share of renewable energy sources. UESP being a high ...

Measurement system design for leak detection in hydraulic pressurized networks

Ian Smith, Gaudenz Moser

This paper compares four sensor placement strategies which differ according to their evaluation criteria (EC). The first involves the minimisation of the expected number of candidate models, and the second is based on maximising joint entropy. The first me ...

Comparative assessment of selected sugarcane biorefinery-centered systems in Brazil: A multi-criteria method based on sustainability indicators

Edgard Gnansounou, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon, Pavel Vaskan, Catarina Marciano Alves

This work proposes a new sustainability assessment framework aiming to compare selected options of biorefineries subject to provide the same services to a community. At this end, a concept of biorefinery-centered system helps to develop a joint resources a ...

Towards an Integrated Sustainability Assessment of Biorefineries

Edgard Gnansounou, Daniel Tuazon

The sustainability of biofuel operations encompasses several issues which are key to promoting uptake in a global environment. However, much of the analysis of biofuel production tends to be dominated by life cycle assessment (LCA) for assessing environmen ...

Measurement system design for civil infrastructure using expected utility

Ian Smith, James-Alexandre Goulet, Romain Pasquier

For system identification, most sensor-placement strategies are based on the minimization of the model-parameter uncertainty. However, reducing the uncertainty in remaining-life prognosis of structures is often more relevant. This paper proposes an optimiz ...

Faster Coordinate Descent via Adaptive Importance Sampling

Volkan Cevher, Martin Jaggi, Dmytro Perekrestenko

Coordinate descent methods employ random partial updates of decision variables in order to solve huge-scale convex optimization problems. In this work, we introduce new adaptive rules for the random selection of their updates. By adaptive, we mean that our ...

Evidence for eligibility traces in human learning

Michael Herzog, Wulfram Gerstner, Kerstin Preuschoff, Marco Philipp Lehmann, He Xu, Vasiliki Liakoni

Whether we prepare a coffee or navigate to a shop: in many tasks we make multiple decisions before reaching a goal. Learning such state-action sequences from sparse reward raises the problem of credit-assignment: which actions out of a long sequence should ...
