Agent-based approaches provide an invaluable tool for building decentralized, distributed architectures and tying together sets of disparate software tools and architectures. However, while the agents themselves have been gaining complexity, and agent specification languages have been gaining expressive power, little thought has been given to the complexity of agent societies, and languages for...

Technology has seen the development of processor industry right from micro to the latest Nanotechnology with speed being important criteria. Not much attention has been given to the power required to drive these Integrated Circuits. With gaining popularity in mobile computing, developing mobile processors have gained popularity since these processors possess unique properties like low power con...

Recent technological advances have greatly improved the performance and features of embedded systems. With the number of just mobile devices now reaching nearly equal to the population of earth, embedded systems have truly become ubiquitous. These trends, however, have also made the task of managing their power consumption extremely challenging. In recent years, several techniques have been pro...

One of the most distinguished challenges in studying the aftermath of cyber attacks in smart grid lies in data-centric threats, which refer to cyber attacks aimed at gaining advantage or sabotage the infrastructure by manipulating the data exchanged in the underlying communication network. Even though such attacks are critical by itself in the information network, they will result in more serio...

Wireless power applications are gaining popularity in many commodity products such as mobile phones chargers. Most of the wireless power solutions have focused on tight coupling with induction coil solutions at operating frequencies around 200 kHz, and Class E, F and S amplifier converter topologies. Recently, however, there has been a push for operation in the restricted and unlicensed lower I...
