One of the main benefits of the smart grid will be the introduction of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the electricity grid at large scale. These DERs will be able to supply areas with electricity when isolated from the main power grid due to failure conditions or system/equipment failures. Although the integration of DER into the power grid makes the energy supply more reliable and reduces...
In the past few years wireless sensor networks have received a greater interest in application such as disaster management, border protection, combat field reconnaissance and security surveillance. Wireless sensor networks are composed of large number of sensor nodes, which are limited in resources i.e. memory, energy and computation power. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) facilitate monitoring and...
MMOG are very large distributed applications, sharing very large states, and supporting communication between potentially thousands of player nodes. Despite the development of many solutions to define suitable architecture and communication protocols and enabling efficient deployment of these types of applications, many issues remain. In this paper, we present a new framework to build more dynamic...
Society has grown increasingly reliant on technologies that allow the reproduction of both physical and abstract entities. The ease with which content can be copied has brought widespread benefits, however in many cases these benefits are also contingent on a suitable counter balance of content protection, allowing the process of copying to be restricted in certain circumstances. Dissemination of...
In the past few years wireless sensor networks have received a greater interest in application such as disaster management, border protection, combat field reconnaissance and security surveillance. Sensor nodes are expected to operate autonomously in unattended environments and potentially in large numbers. Failures are inevitable in wireless sensor networks due to inhospitable environment and unattended...
The operation of a network of sensing devices on a global scale requires an architecture to support efficient node registration and querying across billions, if not trillions of nodes. Whilst our work to date has concentrated on the development of a worldwide sensor Web framework, a global data collection network architecture could also be applied to any effort involving data retrieval from geographically...
Advancement in wireless communication and electronics has made possible the development of low cost sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) facilitate monitoring and controlling of physical environment from remote location with better accuracy. They can be used for various application areas (e.g. health, military, home). Due to their unique characteristics, they are offering various research...
