Expedia Adds Direct Connections with Hotels in More Than 35 Countries in First Year Since Launching Expedia QuickConnect(TM) SolutionParticipating properties achieve higher roomnight production and revenue growth on average than those not yet deploying the reservation system interface

BELLEVUE, Wash., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marking the one year anniversary since launching its hotel connectivity solution Expedia QuickConnect(TM) (http://www.expediaquickconnect.com/), global online travel leader Expedia, Inc. reported it has rolled the solution out to hotels in more than 35 countries, with just under 50 reservations systems now in production. Expedia(R) has deployed Expedia QuickConnect(TM) to nearly 1000 hotel partners worldwide, with new hotels adopting the solution every week.

Because Expedia QuickConnect(TM) enables independent hotels and small- to medium-size hotel chains to exchange rates, availability and booking information with Expedia sites in real time, properties that have implemented Expedia QuickConnect(TM) have achieved significant efficiencies and growth in room night production and revenues. Hotels in EMEA that have implemented the Expedia QuickConnect(TM) interface have on average more than doubled the inventory they are able to offer through Expedia, resulting in a favorable impact on production results. North American hotels connecting to Expedia through Expedia QuickConnect(TM) have achieved growth in roomnight production up to three times higher and revenue growth up to more than four times higher than properties that have not yet implemented the solution.

"On a global scale, hotels that implement Expedia QuickConnect(TM) are able to sell more room and rate types and achieve greater efficiency in their revenue management strategies," said Dean Gregory, senior director of lodging connectivity at Expedia. "Ultimately, it delivers our hotel partners better access to the global Expedia marketplace, and streamlines the exchange of information."

A truly global solution, Expedia QuickConnect(TM) has been adopted by hotels throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Over 90 percent of hotels that have deployed Expedia QuickConnect(TM) are located outside the U.S. Expedia QuickConnect(TM) continues to gain momentum in new markets globally. Israel, New Zealand, South Africa and Russia are among the countries where hotels have most recently adopted the connectivity solution.

In the Asia-Pacific region, hotel adoption of Expedia QuickConnect(TM) continues to grow at double double-digit rates on a monthly basis. Through an agreement with HUBS1, China's leading travel technology and distribution marketplace, hotel chains like Jin Jiang Hotel Group, the largest hotel owner and operator in China, are able to connect directly to the Expedia network, garnering the ability to tap into last room availability and real time rates, as well as fulfill the increasing demand for accommodation in China among Expedia customers globally.

"Our partnership with Expedia changes the way hotels in China can manage their inventory, which is especially important in light of the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. As the official hotel reservation service provider for the World Expo, HUBS1 is expected to leverage the Expedia QuickConnect(TM) partnership to meet the demand of the millions of visitors to China," said D. Teddy Zhang, president and CEO of HUBS1. "Expedia continues to improve hoteliers' access to its marketplace with innovative technologies like Expedia(R) QuickConnect(TM)."

Expedia(R) QuickConnect(TM), an easy-to-use reservation system interface developed specifically for independent and small-to-medium size hotel chain partners, allows hotel partners to link their property management and central reservation systems to Expedia. Expedia was the first online travel agency to offer an open API for hotels, which enables hoteliers to more efficiently manage the rates and inventory they offer to Expedia's global customer base.

Expedia's portfolio of connectivity solutions makes it easier for hoteliers to manage their rates and inventory on Expedia sites, and allows for the electronic exchange of rates, inventory and booking data between Expedia and its hotel partners. Expedia(R) Connect, a connectivity solution for large hotel chains, supports more than 18,000 partner properties with another 5,000 planned to be deployed by the end of the year. Since its' inception three years ago, more than 40 percent of all Expedia merchant hotels have connected via Expedia Connect.

China Digital TV Forms Joint Venture with Guangzhou Pearl River Online Multimedia Company

BEIJING, June 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. the leading provider of conditional access (CA) systems to mainland China's growing digital television market today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Novel-Super Media Investment Co., Ltd. invested RMB 30 million to establish a joint venture with Guangzhou Pearl River Online Multimedia Co., Ltd. (Pearl River Media), a Chinese company based in the city of Guangzhou, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in mainland China.

The new joint venture will focus on selling a variety of advertising products for digital TV platforms as well as providing other value-added services (VAS) like video on demand (VOD) and near video on demand (NVOD). China Digital TV will hold 60% of the joint venture and the remaining 40% will be held by Pearl River Media.

"The formation of this joint venture is a milestone for China Digital TV," said Mr. Jianhua Zhu, China Digital TV's chief executive officer. "It proves that we can leverage our strong relationships with our operator customers to tap into the VAS field. Building revenue sharing models with our network operators is a core strategy in our long-term growth plan. With this partnership, we are setting out on a new path and one that we expect will bring lasting growth."

Chief financial officer, Mr. Mason Xu added, "This joint venture will offer a more diversified stream of recurring revenue. We expect to see meaningful revenue contribution from this joint venture by 2010. It also provides yet another avenue for us to serve our customers, further deepening these important relationships."

The joint venture entity is the only company in Guangzhou licensed to sell advertisements on digital television screens, while they warm up and download digital content, and on electronic program guide (EPG) screens. China Digital TV also anticipates future revenue from advertisements on Pearl River Media broadband internet videos and data broadcasts.

According to official statistics, in 2007, Guangzhou's average personal disposable income reached RMB 22,469 (1 USD=RMB 6.87), making it one of the most popular cities in China for advertising spending. Given that the number of digital television viewing households in the city passed 1 million in 2007, Guangzhou is an ideal location for China Digital TV's expansion into the value-added service area.

AT&T Announces New Digital Media Solutions Portfolio to Deliver and Manage Multimedia Content for Businesses WorldwideAgreements Struck With ExtendMedia, Qumu and Stratacache to Deliver Rich Video, Web ContentNew Exec Named to Head AT&T's Enterprise Digital Media Efforts

SAN ANTONIO, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. , today announced a suite of content delivery and digital media solutions to help companies package, deliver and distribute video and rich multimedia Web content across their networks to the three screens that are core to AT&T's multimedia strategy -- the computer, the television and mobile computing devices such as the iPhone and the BlackBerry(R).

AT&T's Digital Media Solutions(SM) portfolio includes content distribution and management, broadcast video and digital signage services and solutions that are targeted to companies ranging from businesses with multiple small office locations to the most sophisticated multinational companies in industries that include media, financial, education, medical, manufacturing and retail.

AT&T has struck strategic agreements with ExtendMedia, Qumu and Stratacache, which are software companies that specialize in formatting and packaging content that is suitable for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer applications, such as streaming video, live and on-demand webcasting, e-learning and virtual trade shows, as well as the delivery of advertising over emerging media networks.

AT&T plans to complete deployment of nearly $70 million in network infrastructure and development investment by year-end to support its digital media capabilities across the United States and Europe (European Union countries) and Japan, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan within Asia. Over the next several months, the company will integrate the software expertise of ExtendMedia, Qumu, and Stratacache with its own capabilities to provide companies with one-stop shopping and simplified network-based solutions to encode, deliver, manage and support video and multimedia files. Businesses will also be able to combine these services with AT&T's industry-leading security capabilities, hosting, applications and professional services to address their most pressing needs with complete and reliable solutions.

With today's announcement, AT&T is responding to customers' need to cope with exploding demand for rich and graphics-intensive multimedia content that has been fueled by the wide adoption of high speed Internet services, sophisticated computing technologies and the need to deliver to multiple play-out devices including digital signs, PCs and smart wireless devices. The content delivery network (CDN) services market totals $800 million, according to analyst firm IDC, and is expected to significantly grow in the future(1).

AT&T is creating a new unit to accelerate the company's activities in the content space, and it named Cathy Martine, executive vice president-Content Distribution, to lead AT&T's enterprise digital media efforts.

"Today's announcement is the latest proof that AT&T is delivering on its promise to connect businesses to their world, and do it better than anyone else," said Ron Spears, group president, Global Business Services.

"Enterprise customers are using video and multimedia content to communicate with their employees, shareholders, partners and suppliers, but they are grappling with the complexity involved in staging, managing and distributing their content to their end-users. AT&T's network is at the heart of a simpler way to achieve this, using the scope and scale of our networking capabilities, services and professional expertise to deliver applications to both companies and the end-users they serve. We are uniquely positioned to help enterprises more simply and efficiently manage their digital media assets for improved performance."

AT&T's routing and access infrastructure within its global Internet Protocol (IP) network today reaches 14 million broadband users, 70 million wireless customers, and 97 percent of the world economy. As a result, AT&T can deliver content more quickly and reliably to companies, while directly monitoring details such as performance, congestion and other activities over the entire path from the source of the content to the destination end-users.

Additionally, AT&T's network has security built in to every layer from network transport through end-user application and is supported by 1,400-plus security experts and support professionals. Because AT&T's content delivery services are built into its network fabric, it is protected by security at every layer, enabling AT&T to predicatively and proactively detect and repel malicious activity.

Available today, AT&T Digital Media Solutions features the following capabilities:

-- AT&T Intelligent Content Distribution Service A network-based Content Delivery Network (CDN) service that replicates information across the Internet, such as Web page content, large files for download, live video and video-on-demand. At the heart of the service is the ability of the AT&T global network to deliver content closer to the end-user by determining the optimal distribution path based on factors such as server load capacity and user proximity. Because the content is sent from the nearest and best caching node, CDN customers are able to distribute files to end-users more efficiently. What's more, the service can significantly improve Web site capacity, reliability and performance because AT&T delivers content that uses its network of geographically distributed and diversely placed servers. -- Content Ecosystem AT&T is creating an ecosystem of software providers that it is working to simplify indexing, tagging and encoding services that are required to format content for delivery. Today, AT&T is announcing the first of these agreements with ExtendMedia, a Boston-based provider of digital content services software, Qumu, an Emeryville, Calif-based software company that enables organizations to easily capture, manage, publish and distribute live and on-demand video content while leveraging existing IT infrastructure, and Stratacache, a Dayton, Ohio-based software and services company that provides both multi-platform software and appliance based technology designed to empower the delivery of media applications within the distributed Wide Area Network or Internet/intranet powered enterprise. -- AT&T Digital Signage(SM) An end-to-end managed service that enables businesses to distribute their own customized video and other multimedia content to both employees and customers.

CIRA Selects NeuStar's UltraDNS Service To Support Canada's National Internet Domain

STERLING, Va., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeuStar, Inc. today announced that the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), a not-for-profit Canadian corporation that is responsible for operating the .ca country code top-level domain (TLD), has chosen NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Service to bolster the scalability and reliability of Canada's DNS infrastructure.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080310/NEUSTARLOGO )

Canada is one of the world's most wired nations. With more than one million domain names under registration and a 20% annual growth rate, .ca now ranks as the 17th largest Internet domain. This ranking is even more impressive considering that .ca names can only be registered by people and businesses with a legitimate Canadian presence, while names in popular "global" domains such as .com can be registered by anyone, anywhere.

CIRA has leveraged NeuStar's UltraDNS Managed DNS Service to expand its global network footprint in a cost- and resource-effective manner. As the number of .ca domains continues to grow, international DNS network expansion is critical in providing a reliable, high-performance TLD. Rather than expanding its existing DNS network, CIRA is utilizing the UltraDNS platform to increase on-demand capacity to handle large volumes of traffic and also to gain software code diversity within its network environment. Achieving code diversity provides enhanced security, and is becoming standard operating procedure for the TLD community.

With the UltraDNS Managed DNS Service, CIRA also will benefit from the DNS Shield(TM), a revolutionary extension of the UltraDNS infrastructure. The DNS Shield involves the deployment of authoritative DNS servers within the core networks of leading ISPs, creating a hardened and secure DNS infrastructure that provides unprecedented levels of Internet performance and advanced protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and pharming attacks. This unique solution enables secured DNS resolution for end users of partner ISPs for more than 30 TLDs, including .ca, supported on the UltraDNS platform.

"Stability and performance are essential for CIRA and for the holders of .ca domains," said Norm Ritchie, chief information officer at CIRA. "CIRA selected NeuStar to complement our .ca DNS infrastructure because they are a recognized leader and innovator, and they have a proven track record of supporting the TLD community with robust DNS solutions."

"We are very proud to count CIRA as a NeuStar partner," said Rodney Joffe, senior vice president and senior technologist at NeuStar. ".ca is a critical TLD for a significant number of users, and we are pleased to provide advanced DNS services in supporting a key piece of the Internet infrastructure. We look forward to a long and productive relationship."

More information about NeuStar's UltraDNS suite of services is available at http://www.ultradns.com/.

Mobile Leaders to Unify the Symbian Software Platform and set the Future of Mobile FreeFoundation to be Established to Provide Royalty-Free Open Platform and Accelerate Innovation

LONDON, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia , Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT DOCOMO announced today their intent to unite Symbian OS(TM), S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) to create one open mobile software platform. Together with AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone they plan to establish the Symbian Foundation to extend the appeal of this unified software platform. Membership of this non-profit Foundation will be open to all organizations. This initiative is supported by current shareholders and management of Symbian Limited, who have been actively involved in its development. Plans for the Foundation have already received wide support from other industry leaders.

To enable the Foundation, Nokia today announced plans to acquire the remaining shares of Symbian Limited that Nokia does not already own and then contribute the Symbian and S60 software to the Foundation. Sony Ericsson and Motorola today announced their intention to contribute technology from UIQ and DOCOMO has also indicated its willingness to contribute its MOAP(S) assets. From these contributions, the Foundation will provide a unified platform with common UI framework. A full platform will be available for all Foundation members under a royalty-free license, from the Foundation's first day of operations.

Contributions from Foundation members through open collaboration will be integrated to further enhance the platform. The Foundation will make selected components available as open source at launch. It will then work to establish the most complete mobile software offering available in open source. This will be made available over the next two years and is intended to be released under Eclipse Public License (EPL) 1.0.

The Foundation's platform will build on the leading open mobile software platform, with more than 200 million phones, across 235 models, already shipped by multiple vendors and tens of thousands of third-party applications already available for Symbian OS-based devices.

"Ten years ago, Symbian was established by far sighted players to offer an advanced open operating system and software skills to the whole mobile industry," said Nigel Clifford, CEO of Symbian. "Our vision is to become the most widely used software platform on the planet and indeed today Symbian OS leads its market by any measure. Today's announcement is a bold new step to achieve that vision by embracing a complete and proven platform, offered in an open way, designed to stimulate innovation which is at the heart of everything we do."

"Establishing the Foundation is one of the biggest contributions to an open community ever made," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia. "Nokia is a strong supporter of open platforms and technologies as they give the freedom to build, maintain and evolve applications and services across device segments and offer by far the largest ecosystem, enabling rapid innovation. Today's announcement is a major milestone in our devices software strategy."

"The complete, consistent platform that the Foundation plans to provide will allow manufacturers to focus on their unique differentiation at a device level" said Dick Komiyama, President of Sony Ericsson. "Sony Ericsson believes that the unified Symbian Foundation platform will greatly simplify the world for handset manufacturers, operators and developers, enabling greater innovation in services and applications to the benefit of consumers everywhere."

"Motorola has long been a leader and advocate of open software for mobile platforms. We're excited to be joining Nokia, Sony Ericsson, NTT DOCOMO and others in leading this open source effort to form the new Symbian Foundation and unite the Symbian ecosystem," said Alain Mutricy, Senior Vice President, Platforms & Technology Office, Motorola Mobile Devices. "Also, Motorola, together with Sony Ericsson, will be contributing UIQ technology to the Foundation and will work with UIQ as they are refocusing as an important supplier in the new Symbian ecosystem. This will be a great addition, as the Foundation will be able to leverage UIQ's unique experience, which includes expertise in touch technology."

"DOCOMO welcomes this development and we look forward to moving our Symbian based devices and service onto the Foundation platform. We are also willing to contribute our MOAP(S) assets to the Foundation. This is a very positive step in further increasing the adoption of the Symbian software and creating an even more open, consistent and complete platform. The Foundation software will enable us to enjoy the benefits of a global platform in bringing new, leading-edge services to the Japanese market. It will increase efficiency and help us provide our wide customer base with the most advanced mobile experiences." said Toshio Miki, Associate Senior Vice President, Managing Director of Communication Device Development Department of NTT DOCOMO.

"Mobile phones have turned into sophisticated multimedia computers and smart phones continue to grow in popularity," said Kris Rinne, Senior Vice President of Architecture and Planning at AT&T. "The Symbian Foundation will reduce fragmentation in the industry and holds the promise of incorporating leading technology and the most mature software into a unified platform for the entire industry. This will create an environment that will encourage and enable developers to build compelling applications that will positively affect our customers' lives and support AT&T in offering its differentiated services to consumers."

"Joining the Symbian Foundation is an ideal opportunity for LG to broaden our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible mobile experience" said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "We believe that open mobile platforms will contribute to advance the mobile industry. At LG we will play a leading role in creating a better mobile environment, working with the Symbian Foundation to provide our customers with smart new features based on this open platform."

"Samsung Electronics is committed to Symbian as one of the future platforms for our mobile devices and believes that establishing the Foundation is a visionary move in positioning the platform as a proven open platform for future development. We are delighted to be playing a significant role in that future by joining the Foundation board. We have already used Symbian and S60 software successfully to deliver appealing devices and see these steps making the platform even more attractive for bringing the latest technologies and services to the market" said Dr. Do Hun Kwon, VP & Managing Director, Samsung Electronics Research Institute.

"ST sees strong consumer demand, across all segments, for a richer multimedia experience," said Monica de Virgiliis, General Manager of the Wireless Multimedia Division, STMicroelectronics. "This new foundation synchronizes and harmonizes the mainstream software approach to address this need and makes the software widely available. We anticipate this will fuel the growth of multimedia-capable devices and we are excited about being able to leverage our long-standing leadership in consumer digital multimedia to satisfy more and more consumers."

"TI has long supported open platforms, and we are excited about the formation of the Symbian Foundation. We believe the new structure will remove barriers to innovation in the mobile industry by providing a common platform on which exciting next-generation applications and services can be built," said Greg Delagi, senior vice president of TI's Wireless Business Unit. "Manufacturers can get a head-start on development with TI's proven OMAP-based Symbian S60 software development platform. Combined with the Foundation's open collaboration model, this will allow more developers to harness the performance and multimedia capabilities of the OMAP family to accelerate improvements in the mobile user experience."

"Vodafone believes this is a significant step in driving mobile innovation for the Internet as well as creating a richer mobile experience for our customers" said Jens Schulte-Bockum, Vodafone's Global Director of Terminals. "We have been challenging the industry to reduce complexity and focus on fewer operating systems. This step will help to drive even faster innovation, as well as enable operators to accelerate time-to-market for compelling and varied new services."

Foundation members share the vision that the Foundation will unify the software platform, supercharge innovation and accelerate the availability of new services and compelling experiences for consumers and business users around the world. The combined platform is already one of the most advanced and widely used mobile platforms, making it highly attractive for all ecosystem partners, including developers, mobile operators, content and service providers and device manufacturers.

The Foundation is expected to start operating during the first half of 2009, subject to the closing of the acquisition of Symbian Ltd by Nokia.

Nokia to Acquire Symbian Limited to Enable Evolution of the Leading Open Mobile PlatformVisionary Move Embraces Openness and Accelerates Innovation

ESPOO, Finland, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia today announced it has launched a cash offer to acquire all of the shares of Symbian Limited that Nokia does not already own, at a price of EUR 3.647 per share. The net cash outlay from Nokia to purchase the approximately 52% of Symbian Limited shares it does not already own will be approximately EUR 264 million.

Nokia has received irrevocable undertakings from Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ), Panasonic Mobile Communications Co. Ltd. and Siemens International Holding BV to accept the offer, representing approximately 91% of the Symbian shares subject to the offer. Nokia also expects Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. to accept the offer.

The acquisition is a fundamental step in the establishment of the Symbian Foundation, announced today by Nokia, together with AT&T, LG Electronics, Motorola, NTT DOCOMO, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone. More information about the planned foundation can be found at http://www.symbianfoundation.org/.

"This is a significant milestone in our software strategy" said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia. "Symbian is already the leading open platform for mobile devices. Through this acquisition and the establishment of the Symbian Foundation, it will undisputedly be the most attractive platform for mobile innovation. This will drive the development of new and compelling, web-enabled applications to delight a new generation of consumers."

"The wide support for this initiative, uniting the industry around the Symbian platform, reflects the strong gravitational pull it has for application developers and other ecosystem players. We will drive efficient, open innovation by unifying the platform and simplifying the software supply chain, leveraging our experience from mobile devices. Nokia is strongly positioned to realize the benefits of open innovation, as well as accelerating time to market, enabling us to meet and exceed consumer expectations for leading converged devices and experiences", Kallasvuo continued.

Symbian Limited is the software company that develops and licenses Symbian OS, the market-leading open operating system for mobile devices. User interfaces designed for Symbian OS include S60 from Nokia, MOAP (S) for the 3G network and UIQ, designed by UIQ Technology, a joint venture between Motorola and Sony Ericsson. A privately-owned company established in 1998, Symbian has its headquarters in London, UK and other offices in the United Kingdom, United States and Asia (Bangalore, Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo).

"Ten years ago, Symbian was established by far sighted players to offer an advanced open operating system and software skills to the whole mobile industry", said Nigel Clifford, CEO of Symbian. "Our vision is to become the most widely used software platform on the planet and indeed today Symbian OS leads its market by any measure. Today's announcement is a bold new step to achieve that vision by embracing a complete and proven platform, offered in an open way, designed to stimulate innovation, which is at the heart of everything we do."

Mobile devices based on Symbian OS account for 60% of the converged mobile device segment (source: Canalys, 12 months to Q1 2008). Symbian OS represented approximately 7% of all mobile device sales in 2007, up from 5% in 2006 (source: Strategy Analytics). To date, more than 200 million Symbian OS based phones have been shipped, over 235 models, from 8 vendors and on more than 250 mobile networks around the world.

ILOG CPLEX Helps Spain's Red Electrica Save up to euro 100,000 a Day in Production CostsILOG Software Helps Utility Reduce Its Carbon Footprint By Two-And-A Half Percent

MADRID, Spain, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ILOG(R) (http://www.ilog.com/?acc=pressrel) (Nasdaq: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced that Red Electrica de Espana (REE) (http://www.ree.es/?acc=pressrel) -- the company in charge of managing the power supply systems in the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla -- is using ILOG CPLEX(R) (http://ilog.com/products/cplex/?acc=pressrel) along with ILOG Optimization Decision Manager(R) (http://ilog.com/products/cplex/?acc=pressrel) and ILOG OPL Development Studio(R) (http://ilog.com/products/oplstudio/?acc=pressrel) as key components of its power supply strategy. Thanks to ILOG optimization technology, REE reduced production costs of these systems by one to two percent, which translates into savings of between 50,000 and 100,000 Euros per day. At the same time, REE has reduced its carbon emissions by two-and-a-half percent -- which represents approximately 1,000 tons of CO2 annually.

Red Electrica de Espana was created in 1985 to manage the Spanish transmission system and operate the electricity generation. One of the most difficult challenges facing the utility is the "Unit Commitment," which refers to the process of dispatching available power sources at the lowest possible cost. In parallel, due to the need to comply with the measures established by the Kyoto Protocol, Red Electrica de Espana needed to increase the use of renewable energy sources and to reduce CO2 emissions in Gran Canaria, dispatching all the available wind energy.

Prior to the implementation of ILOG optimization solutions, REE's "Unit Commitment" responsibility was managed using an interactive mathematical methodology. Since calculating unit commitment requires a large number of variables to be considered, such as available generating capacity and other costs and restrictions over a time horizon, this home-grown solution had reached its limits.

REE selected ILOG CPLEX along with ILOG Optimization Decision Manager and ILOG OPL Development Studio to achieve an optimal "Unit Commitment" program. ILOG OPL Development Studio is used as the integrated development environment for building and maintaining the model of the "Unit Commitment" problem that is solved by ILOG CPLEX. Added during the second phase of the project, ILOG Optimization Decision Manager has brought the ability for planners to compare different scenarios, programs and production costs. It also enabled active users' participation during the development phase and interactions during the solution search process. Thanks to these tools, REE's Operations Research personnel can now test generation scenarios quickly and easily. In addition, from a development and maintenance viewpoint, there has been a significant reduction in associated costs, as well as in the duration of the processes.

"ILOG provided us with the right tools to better program the demand coverage in our power system," said Mustafa Pezic, project director at Red Electrica de Espana. "This project also confirmed the fact that the integration of new mathematical methods into the optimization tools could enable us to design models of the power supply system complex features."

ILOG Technology Supports Renewable Energy Strategy

Red Electrica has since extended its new "Unit Commitment" process using ILOG technology to include renewable energy sources. As a result of the application of ILOG optimization tools, the utility has been able to integrate safely the highest possible wind energy in the system. In addition to carbon pollution, REE was also able to use ILOG technology to determine that they could cut in half the use of noisy generators at night and therefore reduce its noise pollution.

More than 1,000 commercial customers, including 160 members of the Global 500, use ILOG optimization tools, engines and applications to solve the world's most challenging planning and scheduling problems. These customers include APL, BNSF, JR East, Logistics, Maersk, Schneider, SNCF, United Airlines, the United States Postal Service and UPS in transportation and logistics; and Airbus, Coors, Dell, Hansol Paper, Michelin, Mitsubishi Chemicals, Nippon Steel, Nissan, Porsche, Saint Gobain, Thyssen Krupp, and Toyota in manufacturing. ILOG optimization products are also used by a majority of leading Supply Chain Management software vendors, including i2, Infor, Manhattan Associates, JDA, Oracle, Red Prairie and SAP, as well as in research programs at over 1,000 universities around the world, making the products the "gold standard" for performance and solution quality in the Operations Research community.
