In this paper, we propose a model for an energy broker who acts as a third party between the grid and its clients, through the maintenance of a two-sided po...

Hybrid power systems for off-grid sites are commonly designed using simulation. Operating rules for the controller dispatch strategy are defined, and a sim...

This paper presents the design, implementation, and the first experimental results of an architecture for autonomous demand-side load management (ADSM) syste...

This paper presents a system architecture for demand side load management in the Smart Grid, which is composed of three main modules for admission control, l...

In the rail industry, profit maximization relies heavily on the integration of logistics activities with an improved management of revenues. The operational ...

This study analyzes the use of neural network to produce accurate forecasts of total bookings and cancellations before departure, of a major rail operator. ...

This work studies multi-objective optimization <i>(MOP)</i> of nonsmooth functions subject to general constraints. We first present definitions and optimalit...

We propose a new approach to solve the multi-objective portfolio selection problem in the presence of skewness. The selection of efficient portfolios require...

This work deals with bound constrained multiobjective optimization (<i>MOP</i>) of nonsmooth functions for problems in which the structure of the objective ...

In this paper, we consider scheduling problems on a single machine in a sequence dependent setup environment. We introduce for these problems several integer...

This work shows how disjunctive cuts can be generated for a bilevel linear programming problem (<i>BLP</i>) with continuous variables. First, a brief summar...

An alternative definition of the linear bilevel programming problem <i>BLP</i> has recently been proposed by Lu, Shi, and Zhang. This note shows that the pr...

In this paper, a solution approach based on the column generation technique is pre- sented for solving a time-indexed formulation of the total weighted tard...

Linear mixed 0-1 integer programming problems may be reformulated as equivalent continuous bilevel linear programming (<i>BLP</i>) problems. We exploit the...

We consider the problem of maximizing the revenue raised from tolls set on the arcs of a transportation network, under the constraint that users are assign...

The airline revenue management problem can be decomposed into four distinct but related sub-problems that are usually treated separately: demand forecasting...

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-researched problem whose interest lies well beyond the Icosian game or the Knight's tour puzzle. In this pap...

In order to optimize revenue, service firms must integrate within their pricing policies the rational reaction of customers to their price schedules. In the...

We consider the approximation of nonlinear bilevel mathematical programs by solvable programs of the same type, <i>i.e.</i>, bilevel programs involving line...

This paper presents a multi-commodity network design approach to solve the problem of simultaneously locating I/O stations and determining the orientation o...
