Managing mass gathering events is a complex process. A key factor in successful management of mass gatherings is the availability of real-time data about the situation. This data is very useful in making important decisions that can potentially be life saving. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based framework for real-time collection and visualization of on field mobile triage data. The proposed...
This paper describes the architecture and design of Grid OPTICS(TM), a novel software framework for integrating a collection of software tools developed by PNNL's Future Power Grid Initiative (FPGI) into a coherent, powerful operations and planning tool for the power grid of the future. Grid OPTICS(TM) enables plug-and-play of various analysis, modeling and visualization software tools to improve...
In order to support the ongoing Maui Smart Grid demonstration project advanced metering has been deployed at the distribution transformer level in Maui Electric Company's Kihei Circuit on the Island of Maui. This equipment has been custom designed to provide accurately time-stamped Phasor and Power Quality data in real time. Additionally, irradiance sensors have been deployed at a few selected locations...
The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) framework proposes integration of battery-powered electric drive vehicles into the grid, enabling them to be recharged as necessary and to act as suppliers in the ancillary service electricity markets. This is expected to create incentives for the production and adoption of electric vehicles in the automotive industry. V2G frameworks require that the utility company or a...
As personalization, adaptation and persuasion are called for in e-commerce and as computational power increases, a question emerges: should companies use theories to develop and run their e-commerce operations or does mere data based optimization do a better job? We explore different types of computer-based learning methods and present two evaluations of primarily data-driven learning applications...
Taken in isolation, algorithmic "data sciences" approaches and human-centred "visual analytics" methods hold great promise for operationalizing archival datasets and streaming real-time data in support of strategic and operational decision-making across a broad range of human activities.
E-health data management is characterized by high pressure and timely access. Accessing patient data requires that all services and objects are connected to make data from different health care sources available. Clinical data warehouses in this context facilitate the analysis, consolidation and access of the data obtained in the patient care process to improve the quality of decision making. There...
Interactivity has been deemed as one of the prominent feature of the Internet for online consumers to seek product information. This study examined how the three dimensions of interactivity (control, direction of communication, and synchronicity) affect the users' online information seeking process, respectively. Moreover, we also assess how users' purpose (utilitarian vs. hedonic) moderates the effects...
To achieve strategic advantage in today's turbulent environments, it is crucial for organizations to draw increasingly faster conclusions out of changing circumstances. As most decisions today are based on data collected by Information Systems (IS), the IS itself must become more adaptable. This is particularly challenging in the domain of Business Intelligence (BI) Systems since the underlying architectural...
