Many embedded real-time systems require to process at high throughput while meeting real-time constraints. To improve performance of systems, multiprocessors have been used widely. Reduction of energy consumption is one of the most important issues in such systems, which operate with limited system resources. From the point of view of real-time scheduling, many approaches which save energy cons...

the only communications platform purpose-built for the energy industry that integrates disparate systems of systems into a unified whole. The Trilliant Platform is deployed with more than 200 utilities worldwide to enhance energy efficiency, improve grid reliability, lower operating costs, integrate renewable energy resources and electric vehicles, and empower consumers to better manage their e...

The paper presents recent and future trends of the world energy market, as highlighted by mediumand long-term projections. Energy demand and energy consumptions projected by IEA (International Energy Agency) are examined, in comparison with projections provided by other international agencies and companies in the energy sector. In particular, energy resources, energy consumption and economic gr...

A challenge in designing wireless sensor networks is to maximize the lifetime of the network with respect to limited resources and energy. These limitations make the network particularly vulnerable to attacks from adversaries. Denial of Service (DOS) is considered a severely damaging attack in monitoring applications when intruders attack the network and force it to lose its power and die early...

Energy efficiency and power consumption have become an imperative requirement in Computer Architecture. The rising multi-core and many-core era has been motivated by the increasing demand of high performance computations restricted to a feasible power requirement. How to model the energy consumption of many-core architectures in order to propose techniques for the design of energy efficient app...

energy consumption in the residential sector is a complex socio-technical problem that can be explained using acombination of physical, demographic and behavioural characteristics of a house and its occupants. in this paper, byusing the energy consumption data for the residential sector of shiraz in iran, the effect of built area (ba) andoccupant number (occ) on annual energy consumption (ec) w...

Energy consumption is increasing rapidly in Gaza Strip (GS). This reflects upon population growth, increasing living standard as well as the level of development in all aspects of life. Increases in household consumption were responsible for a relatively high growth of energy consumption since households consume more energy than all other sectors in the Palestinian Territories. Palestinians imp...

The role of water pricing for managing water resources is widely recognized in many areas of the world because of the increasing scarcity of water resources, a high competition between water uses and environmental degradation. Based on the analysis of cost of water, this paper explores which types of cost should be reflected in the water pricing enhancing the sustainability of water resources. ...

Recently, the proliferation of smartphones and the extensive coverage of wireless networks have enabled numerous mobile users to access Web resources with smartphones. Mobile mashup applications are very attractive to smartphone users due to specialized services and user-friendly GUIs. However, to offer new services through the integration of Web resources via Web API invocations, mobile mashup...
