The evolution of technologies of informatics and telecommunications has improved significantly the way water distribution systems can be managed. The use of quasi real-time information is becoming a desired standard in many water utilities. Nevertheless, tools for water distribution system analysis and for supporting decision making haven´t been integrated with the same speed. This research uses cloud computing capabilities for supporting analysis and decision making in water distribution systems. It includes the development of evolutionary algorithms ready to run in a cloud environment for searching the best possible decisions considering a set of objectives. The evaluation of solutions profits from the scalability of the cloud for making faster the solution search process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
