Power system planning and operation offers multitudinous opportunities for optimization methods. In practice, these problems are generally large-scale, non-linear, subject to uncertainties, and combine both continuous and discrete variables. In the recent years, a number of complementary theoretical advances in addressing such problems have been obtained in the field of applied mathematics. The paper introduces a selection of these advances in the fields of non-convex optimization, in mixed-integer programming, and in optimization under uncertainty. The practical relevance of these developments for power systems planning and operation are discussed, and the opportunities for combining them, together with high-performance computing and big data infrastructures, as well as novel machine learning and randomized algorithms, are highlighted.

Currently, mobile communications are provided convenient methods to explore and communicate with each other people. A multitude of services have converged on the smartphone platform, and potentially the most notable is social networking. Thus, the electronic Mobile Chat (MC) plays a very important role in the social networking. With the increasingly growing reliance on Mobile Chat System (MCS) in one hand, and the growing number of vulnerabilities and attacks on the other hand, there is an increasingly demand for the security solutions. Despite of the critical role of MCS in the typical Internet mobile user's life, electronic MC services are not so secure. Therefore, the secure End-to-End Mobile Chat (SE2E-MC) scheme is proposed to be one of the suitable solutions. The basic framework for SE2E-MC scheme and its associated requirements are also designed in this paper. The proposal is implemented to provide mutual authentication and prevent the password guessing attack and the undetectable on-line password guessing attack. Finally, the scheme is a password-based authentication and key agreement (AKA) having easy remembered property.

Internet and mobile applications are becoming more and more helpful and widespread, while our daily lives are becoming increasingly busy and complicated. Preferences affect our actions, as well as those of intelligent agents. Answer Set Programming is a suitable framework for a decision making process which aims at supporting users by suitably planning their activities. Resourced Answer Set Programming (RASP) provides mechanisms for the optimization of answer sets according to preferences and resources. In this paper, an ASP-based system integrated with a mobile application able to plan the activities of a user is proposed, taking into account the context in which the user is located, the available resources, the geographical position and user's preferences.

Geospatial information is fast becoming a key data resource for a locality or country around the world. In recent years there have been major innovations in location based applications. Geographic information Systems (GIS) are helping all spheres of science. It is spawning new public services, helping developmental planning with unprecedented precision and playing vital role in national resource management. Unfortunately however, until now there is no good publicly available comprehensive Global Positioning System (GPS) data for Bangladesh. This is the case also for many under developed localities around the world. Obtaining comprehensive GPS data is expensive. One interesting phenomena in many of these localities is the proliferation of smart phone devices, many with GPS sensors due to 3G network expansion in recent years. In this paper, we present a pilot study where these low cost devices. It can be used to potentially build GIS databases at national scale. We have designed and developed a mobile application for GPS data collection with the help of crowd. Indeed if such data is publicly available many advanced and comprehensive application are possible. Therefore we have recorded the GPS data of Patuakhali municipality road as a test case. Then we have further demonstrated its application in analyzing the road structure of Patuakhali municipality using this comprehensive GPS data. The analysis will help to predict the difficulty and costing for similar type of area mapping.

Some conflicting results have been reported on the comparison between t-way combinatorial testing and random testing. In this paper, we report a new study that applies t-way and random testing to the Siemens suite. In particular, we investigate the stability of the two techniques. We measure both code coverage and fault detection effectiveness. Each program in the Siemens suite has a number of faulty versions. In addition, mutation faults are used to better evaluate fault detection effectiveness in terms of both number and diversity of faults. The experimental results show that in most cases, t-way testing performed as good as or better than random testing. There are few cases where random testing performed better, but with a very small margin. Overall, the differences between the two techniques are not as significant as one would have probably expected. We discuss the practical implications of the results. We believe that more studies are needed to better understand the comparison of the two techniques.

Active fault isolation of parametric faults in closed-loop MIMO systems are considered in this paper. The fault isolation consists of two steps. The first step is group-wise fault isolation. Here, a group of faults is isolated from other possible faults in the system. The group-wise fault isolation is based directly on the input/output signals applied for the fault detection. It is guaranteed that the fault group includes the fault that had occurred in the system. The second step is individual fault isolation in the fault group. Both types of isolation are obtained by applying dedicated auxiliary inputs and the associated residual outputs.
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, called ClaSP for mining frequent closed sequential patterns in temporal transaction data. Our algorithm uses several efficient search space pruning methods together with a ve...
