Active Vibration Control (AVC) is an important problem in structures. One of the ways to tackle this problem is to make the structure smart, adaptive and self-controlling. The objective of active vibration control is to reduce the vibration of a system by automatic modification of the system’s structural response. This paper features the modeling and design of a Periodic Output Feedback (POF) c...

Recently many significant improvements have been done in traditionally power system. But still a lot of work is needed in traditional power system to mend many challenges. We propose formal method based on subnet model for smart power system. Formal method is mathematics based technique that is used to develop, specify and verify model in a systematic manner. It involve components i.e., power p...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...

The nowadays smart homes try to move from conventional remote-controlled houses to intelligent environments. The focus has been made in blending high-tech computing into the home environment and in substituting the interaction with a box on a table by different friendly & intelligent HMI devices. Nevertheless, the introduction of real robots in home environment isn’t treated yet. How will be th...

Because of their severe resource-restrictions and limited user interfaces, smart everyday objects must often rely on remote resources to realize their services. This paper shows how smart objects can obtain access to such resources by spontaneously exploiting the capabilities of nearby mobile user devices. In our concept, handhelds join a distributed data structure shared by cooperating smart o...

Human reasoning about non-trivial real world problems is a complex activity that frequently incorporates multiple reasoning strategies, concerning multiple domains of knowledge which may be perceived as having different structures. This paper proposes the use of the “smart object paradigm” for the design of complex knowledge based systems. The paradigm provides mechanisms for both hybrid knowle...

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...

In the vision of ubiquitous computing environment, smart objects would communicate each other and provide many kinds of information about user and their surroundings in the home. This information enables smart objects to recognize user behaviors and to provide active and convenient services to the customers. However in most cases, context-aware services are available only with expert systems. T...

Smart meters play an important role in smart grid architectures by enabling best operational efficiency, enhanced usage monitoring and variable pricing structure, among other advantages. On the other hand, meters have often been deployed with several security vulnerabilities that can compromise the mentioned benefits and result in cyber attacks. Therefore, teams involved in the development of s...
