Many graph optimization problems, such as theMaximumWeighted Independent Set problem, are NP-hard. For large scale graphs that have billions of edges or vertices, these problems are hard to be computed directly even u...

Workspace awareness tools facilitate coordination among developers in a team by informing them of emerging conflicts due to parallel development. Several such tools have been introduced recently. However, evaluating such (collaborative) tools through user studies is nontrivial because it depends on the group dynamics and their development behavior. In this paper, we present the challenges in evaluating a collaboration tool geared towards minimizing conflicts by scheduling (independent) development tasks. We present the research questions that a user evaluation should answer along with the foreseen challenges in answering these questions. We would like to use the workshop to exchange opinions and feedback to refine the design of our user study and start a conversation on the challenges and methods for evaluating a collaborative development tools.

Applications such as generator scheduling, household smart device scheduling, transmission line overload management and microgrid islanding autonomy all play key roles in the smart grid ecosystem. Management of these applications could benefit from short-term load prediction, which has been successfully achieved on large-scale systems such as national grids. However, the scale of the data for analysis is much smaller, similar to the load of a single transformer, making prediction difficult. This paper examines several prediction approaches for day and week ahead electrical load of a community of houses that are supplied by a common residential transformer, in particular: artificial neural networks; fuzzy logic; auto-regression; auto-regressive moving average; auto-regressive integrated moving average; and wavelet neural networks. In our evaluation, the methods use pre-recorded electrical load data with added weather information. Data is recorded from a smart-meter trial that took place during 2009-2010 in Ireland, which registered individual household consumption for 17 months. Two different scenarios are investigated, one with 90 houses, and another with 230 houses. Results for the two scenarios are compared and the performances of the evaluated prediction methods are discussed.
