Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides two-way communication, data storing and analysis, sensing and system monitoring, and intelligence such as historical and predictive analytics. Today’s Energy Smart Grid initiative proposes a highly decentralized and flexible energy supply and distribution by taking advantage of ICT infrastructures. In contrast, many water utilities do not ...

Future smart grids will consist of legacy systems and new ICT components, which are used to support increased monitoring and control capabilities in the lowand medium-voltage grids. In this article, we present a cybersecurity risk assessment method, which involves two interrelated streams of analyses that can be used to determine the risks associated with an architectural concept of a smart gri...

SMART (Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool) is a web tool (http://smart.embl.de/) for the identification and annotation of protein domains, and provides a platform for the comparative study of complex domain architectures in genes and proteins. The January 2004 release of SMART contains 685 protein domains. New developments in SMART are centred on the integration of data from completed me...

With an increasing interest from both the academic and industrial communities, this article systematically investigates developments in communication technology for the smart grid. Smart grid can be defined as an electric system that uses information, two-way secure communication technologies and computational intelligence in an integrated fashion across the entire spectrum of the energy system...

The SMART system is designed to provide a flexible test bed for evaluating a variety of potentially useful methods of automatic content .analysis in information retrieval. SMART is primarily a document retrieval system; however, many of the analysis techniques employed are also applicable to other phases of information retrieval, including fact retrieval and question-answering systems. This sec...

In course of the European project AVALON, highly innovative ontology-based services (Smart Services) for supporting collaboration in knowledge-intensive industrial innovation networks (Smart Networks) were defined and prototypically implemented. Due to the immanent complexity of the general innovation problem in networks, Smart Networks are facing multi-level (1) knowledge integration, (2) netw...

The demand for increased capacity in wireless communication networks has motivated recent research activities toward wireless systems that exploit the concept of smart antenna and space selectivity. Efficient utilization of limited radio frequency spectrum is only possible to use smart/adaptive antenna system. Smart antenna radiates not only narrow beam towards desired users exploiting signal p...
