On-demand numerosity reduction for object learning

Proceedings of the workshop on Internet of Things and Service Platforms, 2011
In Internet of Things, softwares shall enable their host objects (everyday-objects) to monitor other objects, take actions, and notify humans while using some form of reasoning. The ever changing nature of real life environment necessitates the need for these objects to be able to generalize various inputs inductively in order to play their roles more ...

Demand for health risk reductions

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2013
Abstract A choice model based on utility in a sequence of prospective future health states permits us to generalize the concept of the value of statistical life (VSL). Our representative national survey asks individuals to choose between costly risk-reducing programs and the status quo in randomized stated choice scenarios.

Peak Demand Reduction using Energy Storage System for Demand Response

Proceedings of the 6th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation, 2019
This paper proposes an energy storage system (ESS) management algorithm to reduce the peak electricity consumption for demand response (DR). In a building equipped with an ESS and a photovoltaic generator, the amount of energy charged into the ESS can be used to reduce the peak demand of the following day. The proposed algorithm calculates the feasible

Demand uncertainty reduction among competing retailers

Production and Operations Management, 2023
While the existing literature has studied the impact of demand uncertainty extensively within various monopoly settings, there is little research on its impact among competitive retailers. In this paper, we study the effects of demand uncertainty reduction in a setting with two newsvendor retailers competing on product availability. We parameterize the

On-demand Data Numerosity Reduction for Learning Artifacts

2012 IEEE 26th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2012
In domains in which single agent learning is a more natural metaphor for an artifact-embedded agent, Exemplar-Based Learning (EBL) requires significantly large sets of training examples for it to be applicable. Obviously large sets of training examples contradict resource capabilities of artifacts. To make EBL a possibility for these artifacts, sets of

Energy Demand Reduction

The UK is facing an energy crisis on three fronts: climate change, energy security, and affordability. Energy demand reduction is fundamental to improving the UK’s performance on all three. Research has shown that reducing energy use could meet half of the required greenhouse gas emissions reductions needed by 2050 for the UK to become a Net Zero ...

An Entropy‐Based Methodology for Valuation of Demand Uncertainty Reduction

Decision Sciences, 2014
ABSTRACTWe propose a distribution‐free entropy‐based methodology to calculate the expected value of an uncertainty reduction effort and present our results within the context of reducing demand uncertainty. In contrast to existing techniques, the methodology does not require a priori assumptions regarding the underlying demand distribution, does not ...

Reduction of sand demand for shore protection

Coastal Engineering, 2002
Beach nourishment is an environmentally preferred method of shore protection, but the annual sand requirement may lead to substantial maintenance costs. The shoreline processes, involving the surf zone, beach and dune, are reviewed with the aim of reducing the annual sand requirement of eroding shorelines.
