This paper investigates the design and evaluation of a personalized Recommender System (RS) using implicit social trust from Online Social Networks (OSNs), particularly to solve new users' recommendation problems. The proposed system builds implicit trust based on the interrelation between an active user and his/ her friends in the popular social microblogger Twitter, by considering aspects such as...
This paper proposes a Stackelberg game approach to maximize the profit of the electricity retailer (utility company) and minimize the payment bills of its customers. The electricity retailer determines the retail price through the proposed smart energy pricing scheme to optimally adjust the real-time pricing with the aim to maximize its profit. The price information is sent to the customers through...
The use of digital print provides unique opportunities to automate the printing process, revamp production steps, better utilize resources, and enhance productivity. This paper highlights the key role that electronic design automation (EDA) can play in the maturation of the digital print automation field. It first describes basic concepts in digital printing and digital commercial print services....
We develop a simple modification of crossover called depth constraint crossover to control bloating. As the name suggests, depth constraint crossover adds a depth constraint on the selection of crossover point. This method is motivated by the analysis of removal bias bloating theory. In this paper, we quantitatively define removal bias as the depth difference between swapped subtrees in crossover...
This paper aims at seeking reasonable power dispatching scheme for distributed wind-solar power generation hybrid system, to satisfy some basic requirements, such as dispersed electric power demand, electric power quality and reducing generation cost and so on. Firstly we represented some elements of the main parts in the hybrid system; and then made basic dispatching strategies according to different...
