Multi-period analysis of heat integration measures in industrial clusters

François Maréchal, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener, Roman Hackl

TSA (total site analysis) has shown to be an efficient tool for identifying heat integration measures in industrial clusters, leading to the optimal design of utility systems and energy bill reduction. In order to justify investments, any proposed utility ...

Maximizing Symmetric Submodular Functions

Moran Feldman

Symmetric submodular functions are an important family of submodular functions capturing many interesting cases including cut functions of graphs and hypergraphs. In this work, we identify submodular maximization problems for which one can get a better app ...

Value of Integration in Database and Service Domains

Gianluigi Viscusi

The paper discusses the concept of value of integration in two apparently distant research domains, database and service domains. In the area of virtual database integration, we address the problem of increased utility in an organization resulting from ado ...

Characterizing the Optimal Incentives for Pervasive Demand Response

Karl Aberer, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Matteo Vasirani

Demand response (DR) emerges as one of the cheapest and greenest solutions to match supply and demand in the electricity sector. Compared to price-based DR, incentive-based DR is considered to be more promising, since it does not require consumers to monit ...

A Bayesian mean field game approach to supply demand analysis of the smart grid

Maryam Kamgarpour

We explore a game theoretic framework for multiple energy producers competing in energy market. Each producer, referred to as a player, optimizes its own objective function given the demand utility. The equilibrium strategy of each player depends on the pr ...

Reputation design for adaptive networks with selfish agents

Ali H. Sayed

We consider a general information-sharing game over adaptive networks with selfish agents, in which a diffusion strategy is employed to estimate a common target parameter. The benefit and cost of sharing information are embedded into the individual utility ...

A pricing mechanism for Femto Base Stations

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ramin Khalili

Telecom service providers have not control over functionality of Femto-BSs. However, they can motivate home service providers to cooperate with them (e.g. activate their Femto-BSs) by porpoising a reasonable price for service they provide. A home service p ...

An Expressive Mechanism for Auctions on the Web

Monika Henzinger, Ingmar Weber, Paul David Dütting

Auctions are widely used on the Web. Applications range from internet advertising to platforms such as eBay. In most of these applications the auctions in use are single/multi-item auctions with unit demand. The main drawback of standard mechanisms for thi ...

Indifference Pricing for Power Utilities

Semyon Malamud

We study utility indiﬀerence pricing of claim streams with intertem- poral consumption and power (CRRA) utilities. We derive explicit for- mulas for the derivatives of the utility indiﬀerence price with respect to claims and wealth. The simple structure of ...

Parametric Sensitivity of Path-Constrained Optimal Control: Towards Selective Input Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Saurabh Anand Deshpande

In the context of dynamic optimization, plant variations necessitate adaptation of the input profiles in order to guarantee both feasible and optimal operation. For those problems having path constraints, two sets of directions can be distinguished in the ...
