Proceedings of the Bellman Continuum Special NSF (National Science Foundation) Workshop on Dynamic Programming and Water Resources

摘要

Since dynamic programming has become identified as one of the most applicable techniques in water resources systems management, the Workshop sought to facilitate its appropriate and increased usage by practitioners, model builders, and technique developers. The conference program was divided into nine sections. The first part motivates the subject of the Workshop and includes surveys of origins and uses of dynamic programming in water resources and how both fields have complemented each other. The remaining eight parts deal with: (1) water supply planning and management; (2) multiobjective-multipurpose water resource systems; (3) large-scale water systems--modeling and solution approaches; (4) water quality and waste treatment systems; (5) water supply and distribution systems; (6) stochastic reservoir operation models; (7) flood control and management; and (8) successful applications--reservoir and hydropower management.
