for making life more comfortable, safer and more intelligent, a system for remote monitoring of smart home is proposed based on ARM and ZigBee. This system not only can centralize and monitor family affairs by gathering computer technology, embedded technology, sensor technology, and network communication technology, but also can meet the pursuit of high quality life in the information age by c...

A smart grid is the next generation power grid focused on providing increased reliability and efficiency in the wake of integration of volatile distributed energy resources. For the development of the smart grid, the modeling and simulation infrastructure is an important concern. This study presents an agentbased model for simulating different smart grid frequency control schemes, such as deman...

Traditional and widely used access control mechanisms have been proved to be not able to effectively support the dynamicity and scaling needs of IoT contexts. Furthermore, as more end-users start using smart devices (e.g. smart phones, smart home appliances, etc.) the need to have more understandable and easy to use access control mechanisms increases. In this paper we present a capability base...

System aspects of smart antenna (SA) technology in wireless communications such as SA receiver structure and algorithms, wireless network control and network planning are discussed. A classification of SA receivers and their algorithms is given in order to simplify orientation in very large amount of the proposed types. Several radio network planning and upgrading concepts with SA are evaluated...

Distribution smart grid is very important part of the smart grid. Utilities use Distribution Management System (DMS) as supervisory control layer at the power system control centers. State Estimation (SE) and Volt-Var Control (VVC) are the prime applications of the DMS. In the modern DMS, SE is required for extensive monitoring and control of the entire distribution network. In the presence of ...

This position paper provides qualitative considerations on the design and implementation of a smart heating control system for private households. We envision the system to rely on the opportunistic exploitation of information made available by existing smart devices. Since heating represents the major source of energy consumption in domestic environments, significant energy savings may be achi...

This paper introduces a novel concept termed Smart Mesoflaps for Aeroelastic Recirculation Transpiration (SMART) for controlling shock/boundary-layer interactions (SBLI) in supersonic jet inlets. The control strategy for a subsystem of the SMART project, subject to hysteresis and actuator saturation, is presented. A Hysteresis Compensation scheme, as well as results from experimental applicatio...

The intelligent and self-adaptive urban traffic signal control (TSC) system has become a development trend of intelligent transportation system (ITS). The most city dwellers are concerned with the urban traffic issues very much. So, to provide a self awareness and adaptive facilities in traffic signal control system is become more and more urgent. However, many roadway and traffic applications ...
