Smart Interfaces for Sensors

It seems that virtually every technical paper which describes a new technology to "make the world a better place", includes the term "smart" to refer to some aspect of this new technology. The technical literature is filled with smart capacitors, smart resistors, smart rectifiers, smart op-amps, smart memory, smart circuits, smart cards, smart systems, smart networks, smart partners, smart opin...

Smart City as an Smart Energy Hub: A Bibliographic, Analytic and Structural Review

Energy supply is one of the main challenges of the present century. Population growth, rising energy demand, fossil fuel scarcity, and environmental concerns have made energy security as major issue for all countries in the world. Traditional power system, including low-efficiency generation, long-distance transmission and then a complex distribution system, face various challenges that make it...
