To aid in the description and estimation of the tremendous recent growth in the collaborative economy, we provide a model for the dynamic sharing, subject to fixed costs. The sharing economy comprises a set of infinitely lived, heterogeneous suppliers, who t ...
The present and future challenges that humanity is facing regarding consumption and supply of energy constitute the context of this research. The technology in which we are interested is the fuel cell, mainly because of its high efficiency for the conversi ...
The merits of superstructure-free synthesis are demonstrated for bi-objective design of thermal power plants. The design of thermal power plants is complex and thus best solved by optimization. Common optimization methods require specification of a superst ...
In the framework of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action MP1103 Nanostructured Materials for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage were synthesized, characterized and modeled. This Action dealt with the state of the art of energy storage ...
This paper contributes a novel framework that enables a robotic agent to efficiently learn and synthesize believable handwriting motion. We situate the framework as a foundation with the goal of allowing children to observe, correct and engage with the rob ...
In this work, we consider distributed adaptive learning over multitask mean-square-error (MSE) networks where each agent is interested in estimating its own parameter vector, also called task, and where the tasks at neighboring agents are related according ...
Classical query optimization compares query plans according to one cost metric and associates each plan with a constant cost value. In this paper, we introduce the Multi-Objective Parametric Query Optimization (MPQ) problem where query plans are compared a ...
A standard question arising in optimal transport theory is whether the Monge problem and the Kantorovich relaxation have the same infimum; the positive answer means that we can pass to the relaxed problem without loss of information. In the classical case ...
Integrating accurate air quality modeling with decision making is hampered by complex atmospheric physics and chemistry and its coupling with atmospheric transport. Existing approaches to model the physics and chemistry accurately lead to significant compu ...
The increased penetration of renewable energy sources in existing power systems has led to necessary developments in electricity market mechanisms. Most importantly, renewable energy generation is increasingly made accountable for deviations between schedu ...
