   Författare :Paul Scerri; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Agents are an artificial intelligence technique of encapsulating a piece of pro-active, autonomous, intelligent software in a module that senses and acts in its environment. As the technology underlying sophisticated multi-agent systems improves, such systems are being deployed in ever more complex domains and are being given ever more responsibility for more critical tasks.

5. 4. All CO2 molecules are equal, but some CO2 molecules are more equal than others

   Författare :Stefan Grönkvist; Mats Westermark; Lee Schipper; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; climate change mitigation; abatement of GHG-emissions; co-operation; district heating; waste-heat utilisation; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with some challenges related to the mitigation of climate change and the overall aim is to present and assess different possibilities for the mitigation of climate change by: • Suggesting some measures with a potential to abate net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, • Discussing ideas for how decision-makers could tackle some of the encountered obstacles linked to these measures, and • Pointing at some problems with the current Kyoto framework and suggesting modifications of it. The quantification of the net CO2 effect from a specific project, frequently referred to as emissions accounting, is an important tool to evaluate projects and strategies for mitigating climate change.
