Scheduling With Uncertain Resources: Representation Of Common Knowledge, Eugene Fink, P. Matthew Jennings, Konstantin Salomatin, Jaime G. Carbonell May 2013

Scheduling With Uncertain Resources: Representation Of Common Knowledge, Eugene Fink, P. Matthew Jennings, Konstantin Salomatin, Jaime G. Carbonell

Jaime G. Carbonell

We describe a system for scheduling a conference based on incomplete information about available resources and scheduling constraints. We explain the representation of uncertain knowledge and related common-sense rules, which allow reasoning based on uncertain and partially missing data.

In this report we look at the problem of peak power reduction for buildings with electric radiant floor heating systems. Uncoordinated operation of a multi-zone radiant floor heating system can result in temporally correlated electricity demand surges or peaks in the building’s electricity consumption. As peak power prices are 200-400 times that of the nominal rate, this uncoordinated activity can result in high electricity costs and expensive system operation. We have previously presented green scheduling as an approach for reducing the aggregate peak power consumption in buildings while ensuring that indoor thermal comfort is always maintained. This report extends the …
