A city's energy system processes, as well as the interactions of the energy system with other systems in a city are imperative in creating a comprehensive energy decision support system due to the interdependencies between critical segments of the system. *** is a sustainability-oriented decision support system that represents the energy, water, waste, transportation and building systems in a city while taking into consideration the integration and interdependencies that exist between these systems. This paper, which is focused on the integrated energy infrastructure system of a sustainable city, builds on the previous work which employs hierarchical decomposition and multi-domain formulation for the design of complex sustainable systems. The *** energy system encompasses the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy in different forms, in several domains and at diverse scales in a city. Also, the interactions of the energy system with other aforementioned systems are incorporated in ***. The result is a scalable and flexible energy decision support system which can be simulated and used as a sustainability-analysis tool, encompassing environmental, social and economic sustainability.

One of the main goals in the smart grid development is the continuous evolution of the smart grid as a cyber-physical system to accommodate electricity storage, provide safe power delivery, accommodate the needs of the local communities, facilitate the integration of innovative technologies, and enable active participation of consumers. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the underlying complexities of the relationship between the consumers and providers in the smart grid in order to facilitate its planning and evolution. We elicit and specify the main actors, processes, and sequences of actions that occur in the smart grid to help smart grid designers properly plan its infrastructure and evolution.
Automated agents for electricity markets, social networks, and other distributed networks must repeatedly interact with other intelligent agents, often without observing associates' actions or payoffs (i.e., minim...

This paper explores how effectively users can encode emotions in robot behaviors using existing robot programming interfaces. Specifically, we analyze how programming interfaces for Nao and Pleo robots allow end-users to encode behaviors that express anger, sadness, happiness, and surprise. Via a series of user studies, we found that users were able to express emotions through these robots more effectively via verbal expressions than non-verbal expressions.
As visual surveillance systems are gaining wider usage in a variety of fields, they need to be embedded with the capability to interpret scenes automatically, which is known as human motion analysis (HMA). However, ex...
