In this paper smart operation of micro energy hub is presented. Energy hub system consists of certain energy hubs and interconnectors that are coordinated by energy hub system operator. An energy hub contains several converters and storages to serve demanded services in most efficient manner from available energy carriers. In this paper, the flexibility of energy delivery point is enhanced u...

Smart Spaces introduce new challenges to interface designers due to a number of differences from traditional desktopcomputing model, including multimodal interaction, context sensitive interaction, continuous interaction, dynamically focused interaction, physically embodied interaction and interaction based on dynamic set of device. This paper discusses these challenges and provides the solutio...

Enabling electricity markets is one of main characteristics of a smart grid that integrates advanced sensing technologies, control methodologies, and communication technologies into current power distribution systems. Intelligent Multi-Agent System (MAS) that provides platform for modeling autonomous decision making entities in de-centralized fashion can be used to implement market based power ...

A reliable requirement model for resource of multimedia collaboration called “RMCS_HNE” was proposed for situation-aware middleware such as home network environment. RMCS_HNE model was used to detect and recover the resource errors for smart multimedia collaboration system among actions in distributed home network environment. An example of situation-aware applications is a smart home network s...

An error requirement model for resource of distributed festival site called “ERM_SFMS” was proposed for situation-aware middleware as RCSM. ERM_SFMS model was used to detect and recover the resource errors for smart festival management system among actions in distributed festival site. An example of situation-aware applications is a smart festival management system. A smart festival management ...

Smart grid is a new developing concept in power system. This technology observes the state of power system and intelligently take decisions to quickly clear faults, restores power and monitor demand to preserve the stability and performance of the electric power network formerly done by engineers. This paper discusses the technologies of smart grid and presents a developed model to illustrate t...

The need to manage and secure a rapidly growing information network has focused increasing attention on smart card technology. Over the past decade, smart cards evolved from offering basic memory to complex systems with chips that incorporate powerful processing units with dedicated peripherals. This evolution enabled a wide range of applications. Smart card applications include financial trans...

In this paper, we propose a prototype of a user centered design system for Smart Homes which lets users: (1) configure different interactive tasks, and (2) express activity specifications and preferences during the design process. The main objective of this paper is how to create and to implement VR Smart Home prototype as a platform to increase user contribution in the earliest phases of desig...

Secure communication between devices is a key aspect of smart grid security. In the future smart home environment, various smart devices, appliances and energy management systems will communicate with each other via the home network. In order to achieve mutual authentication, each device will have a private cryptographic key which must be protected against theft or misuse. Current mechanisms fo...
