A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm developed at the Laboratory of Industrial Energy Systems is used to determine the best technological solutions to satisfy the electrical needs of a remote community. Simulations of the community are based on a super ...
Bio-inspired electronic circuits have the potential to address some of the shortcomings of conventional electronic circuits, such as lack of applicability to ill-defined problems, of robustness, or of adaptivity to unexpectedly changing environments. Bio-i ...
This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transport of an object by a group of two simple autonomous mobile robots called s-bots. S-bots are able to establish physical connections between each other and with an object called the prey. The environment ...
The methods for designing, planning and managing integrated energy systems, while holistically considering the major economic and environmental factors, are still embryonic. However, the first phase of the design is often crucial if we want to manage resou ...
The classical single-objective model calibration and validation approach using different time periods for each of them is known not to be sufficient to judge whether the model predictions are consistent or to detect model structural deficiencies. It is how ...
If process modelling is a well known approach to compute the performances of fuel cell systems, the optimal design of systems where the process configuration is not fixed a priori remains an issue. The goal of the presented methodology for integrating and ...
The electricity demands of buildings for cooling and heating, as well as for office-appliances such as computers, lighting, elevators, keep increasing [Uchiyama2002]. This increase in electricity requirement is directly accompanied by an increase in CO2-em ...
Nowadays the methods of design, planning and managing of integrated energetic systems which allow an overall view of all possibilities are still embryonic. However, this first phase of the design is crucial if we want to aim at a better resources managemen ...
The electricity demands of buildings for cooling and heating, as well as for office-appliances such as computers, lighting, elevators, keep increasing [Uchiyama2002]. This increase in electricity requirement is directly accompanied by an increase in CO2-em ...
The von Neumann architecture was first expressed in 1945 and has largely dominated in many variants and refinements computer science for more than half a century. Alternative architectures always occupied a marginal place only, despite a growing need for n ...
