Measurement is a special type of evaluation more exact than opinion or estimation. Sawyer, Sankey and Lombardo (2013) characterized a measure as satisfying five invariance and continuity conditions. Those conditions are satisfied as the result of a process of convergence towards that measure....

Galileo suggested that what is not measurable be made measurable. It is this principle which underscores an unwritten law of both the sciences and the social sciences that it is better to measure than not to measure. But, the assumption of measurability is rarely considered. In this paper, we...

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are becoming popular for managing energy supply in urban environments with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). However, decision-making for VPPs in such complex environments is challenging due to multiple uncertainties and complexities. This paper proposes an...
