In this paper we propose a three–level computational equilibrium model that allows to analyze the impact of the regulatory environment on transmission line expansion (by the regulator) and investment in generation capacity (by private firms) in liberalized electricity markets. The basic...

We will present a theoretical model for an integrated planning of Eucharistic masses and Liturgies of the Word assuming different priests, assistant priests and lay persons. This all-integer vector optimization problem can be seen as an economic, spacial and inter-temporal resource allocation...

A new evaluation scheme for universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) radio networks is introduced. The approach takes the complex coupling of coverage and capacity through interference into account. Cell load estimates, otherwise obtained through Monte-Carlo simulation, can now be...

In this paper we present a simulated annealing approach for the gas network optimization problem. A gas network consists of a set of pipes to transport the gas from the sources to the sinks whereby gas pressure gets lost due to friction. Further on there are compressors, which increase gas...
