A Chance-Constrained Multistage Planning Method for Active Distribution Networks by Nikolaos Koutsoukis, Pavlos Georgilakis

“…The proposed solution methodology, which is based on a genetic algorithm, considers multiple planning alternatives, such as the reinforcement of substations and distribution lines, the addition of new lines, and the placement of capacitors and it aims at minimizing the net present value of the total operation cost plus the total investment cost of the reinforcement and expansion plan. …”

Improving Prescriptive Maintenance by Incorporating Post-Prognostic Information Through Chance Constraints by Anthony D. Cho, Rodrigo A. Carrasco, Gonzalo A. Ruz

“…We incorporate such predictions and their inherent errors in a decision support system based on a stochastic optimization model, incorporating them via chance constraints. These constraints control the number of failed components and consider the physical distance between them to reduce sparsity and minimize the total maintenance cost. …”

Allowing the Fly to Leave: The Chance Meeting of Wittgenstein and Buñuel at a Mexican Dinner Table by Michael T. Miller, James Batcho

“…In this effort we thread a series of chance meetings into a web of encounters: of people at a dinner party, of a philosopher and a filmmaker, and perhaps most significantly, of games that form a totality of gamesmanship – a chance meeting of the game of language and the game of cinema.…”
