A Data-Driven Process Controller For Energy-Efficient Variable-Speed Pump Operation In The Central Cooling Water System Of Marine Vessels

A Data-Driven Process Controller for Energy-Efficient Variable-Speed Pump Operation in the Central Cooling Water System of Marine Vessels Abstract: In this paper, a data-driven process controller is designed and implemented onboard a typical marine vessel for optimal variable-speed pump operation, leading to the energy efficiency optimization of its central cooling water system. To match variable […]


Fast Nearest Neighbor Search with Keywords

Fast Nearest Neighbor Search with Keywords Conventional spatial queries, such as range search and nearest neighbor retrieval, involve only conditions on objects’ geometric properties. Today, many modern applications call for novel forms of queries that aim to find objects satisfying both a spatial predicate, and a predicate on their associated texts. For example, instead of considering all the restaurants, a nearest neighbor query […]
