I t is not often that the future of control is discussed in the mainstream media, but it occurred in a column in the March 17, 2014 issue of Barron’s Technology Week [1]. The author, impressed with the advances in sensor technology displayed at the 2014 South by Southwest show in Austin, Texas, concludes the article with conjectures about future smart control devices that new sensors will enabl...

a solution to the problem of identification and control of smart structures is presented in this paper. smart structures with build-in sensors and actuators can actively and adaptively change their physical geometry and properties. as a particular example, a representative dynamic model of a typical fighter vertical tail, identified as the smart fin, is considered. piezoelectric patches, which ...

The confidence level of citizens, as far as the ability of the organizers to provide security is concerned, is a factor directly impacting their attendance in athletic events. This paper, proposes a system called BioAthletics that implements strong access control, enhancing the safety feeling of event spectators. BioAthletics integrates intelligent biometric access control systems and smart car...

Although connected devices and smart homes are now marketed to average consumers, little is known about how access-control systems for these devices fare in the real world. In this paper, we conduct three case studies that evaluate the extent to which commercial smart devices provide affordances related to access control. In particular, we examine an Internet-connected lighting system, bathroom...

we are going to tell about how client data and confidentiality maintained in mobile devices through semantic analysis. Recent advance in context modeling, tracking and mutual localization has led to the materialization of a new class of smart phone applications that can access and share implanted sensor data. Mobile devices which have OS frameworks like Android mechanisms for vibrant privacy co...

Adapting existing autonomous vehicle platforms to operate in new environments with additional capabilities through redesign and hardware augmentation can be expensive and risky; an alternative approach is to cooperatively utilize remote resources available from remote entities concurrently operating in the same environment. Polymorphic Control Systems research investigates highly dynamic contro...

Smart Grid is a large complex system, involving generation, transmission, distribution and delivery of four links. This paper analyzes the structure of the smart grid system in depth with a combination of qualitative and quantitative research approach. Then it explains state variables, rate variables and constants in the development of smart grid system under the Vensim software environment and...

Chip-Secured XML Access (C-SXA) is a versatile XML-based Access Right Controller embedded in a smart card. C-SXA can be used either to protect the privacy of on-board personal data or to control the flow of data extracted from an external source. C-SXA addresses a broad range of applications, like secure portable folders, Digital Right Management, parental control or exchange of confidential in...

− Remote maintenance and control is already widely used in industrial automation and building automation and gains acceptance for many other applications, e.g. smart home appliances, consumer electronics, networking devices. Internetand web-based connectivity is playing a major part in unifying network infrastructure and company information flow. However, a number of different implementations h...
