The evolving vision of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) will revolutionize various applications such as remote health monitoring, home automation and remote surveillance. It has been projected that by 2025, there will be 1 trillion IoT devices influencing our daily lives. This will result in the generation of an enormous amount of data, which will have to be stored, processed and transmitted effici...

As the design complexity continues to increase, huge peak power has become an important concern. A widely used power management technique is to shut down unused operations. However, an unused operation cannot be shut down, unless all the operations involved in identifying the control/data flow of this operation have been scheduled before this operation. Therefore, operation scheduling has a sig...

The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...
