Planning Under Uncertainty for Aggregated Electric Vehicle Charging with Renewable Energy Supply

Renewable energy sources introduce uncertainty regarding generated power in smart grids. For instance, power that is generated by wind turbines is time-varying and dependent on the weather. Electric vehicles will become increasingly important in the development of smart grids with a high penetration of renewables, because their flexibility makes...

Boolean Negotiation Games

We propose a new strategic model of negotiation, called Boolean negotiation games. Our model is inspired by Boolean games and the alternating offers model of bargaining. It offers a computationally grounded model for studying properties of negotiation protocols in a qualitative setting. Boolean negotiation games can yield agreements that are...

MOOD: Massive Open Online Deliberation Platform-A Practical Application

Nowadays, public debates often take place on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter and can be characterized as asynchronous, protracted and ill-structured. The Massive Open Online Deliberation (MOOD) platform aims to structure these debates. Essential is that the platform can differentiate between the moral acceptability and the social...

Speech Emotion Recognition Using Voiced Segment Selection Algorithm

Speech emotion recognition (SER) poses one of the major challenges in human-machine interaction. We propose a new algorithm, the Voiced Segment Selection (VSS) algorithm, which can produce an accurate segmentation of speech signals. The VSS algorithm deals with the voiced signal segment as the texture image processing feature which is different...

The Game of Reciprocation Habits

People often have reciprocal habits, almost auto- matically responding to others’ actions. A robot who interacts with humans may also reciprocate, in order to come across natural and be predictable. We aim to facilitate decision sup- port that advises on utility-efficient habits in these interac- tions. To this end, given a model for...
