A Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems

Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...

Strategies to Overcome Network Congestion in Infrastructure Systems

Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...

Information Systems Playground - The Target Infrastructure, Scaling Astro-WISE into the Petabyte range

The Target infrastructure has been specially built as a storage and compute infrastructure for the information systems derived from Astro-WISE. This infrastructure will be used by several applications that collaborate in the area of information systems within the Target project. It currently consists of 10 PB of storage and thousands of computational cores. The infrastructure has been construct...

Academic Knowledge Management Infrastructure: Information Systems Cybrarium

In what ways are advances in information technology likely to affect the processes of scientific research and publication? To study the issues we have developed a web-based knowledge management infrastructure which supports the creation, synthesis and application of scientific knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to present this infrastructure, which we call "Cybrarium", and to highlight cor...
