DC-DC converters face an exponential growth in the context of the ever-increasing use of DC grids, namely at the home and business levels. In this domain, efficiency and reliability are of major concern. Solutions already available in the literature concerning fault-tolerant DC-DC converters do not consider the application of such converters in household environments and their constraints. To solve...
As the demand for data increase and the need for higher density network load, greater resiliency and efficiency a need for a reliable power distribution and back up is required. Currently our −48VDC distribution has limitation in size (kW), length of cable run and large battery reserves. Higher Voltage DC offers a number of benefits for Telstra from reduced cable size, simplified distribution set...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is captivating the society because of its potential to rapidly transform businesses and people's lives.

In Ethernet passive optical network (EPON), the distance between optical network units (ONUs) and optical line terminal (OLTs) is in a large range of changes. Only dividing ONUs into a network according to locations will influence the user's QoS. In view of this situation, this paper puts forward a planning strategy of ONUs clustering. We first consider the economy, network delay and network reliability,...

The software defined optical network (SDON) service plays an important role in the production and operation of the network system. It's important to solve the problem of how to reduce the risk and distribute the service path more rationally. However, most of the existing algorithms do not take into account service importance. In this paper, a risk balancing routing assignment mechanism based service...
Green IT is a concept about wisely, efficiently, and environmentally technology (IT) usage or adoption that exists due to the negative impacts of technology (IT) growth. There are some examples about Green IT applications that are used by the organization (firm) as the support tools of its business processes such as Paperless Office (PLO), E-Meeting, Remote System, and Cloud Computing. Although Green...
Energy interconnection (EI) is a logical consequence when ideas of open source and distributed scheme from the information field are introduced into the energy field. EI is essentially a typical cyber-physical system. This paper studies the new capabilities in sensing, computation, communication and control by analyzing its characteristics and demand. Firstly, we analyze the system architecture of...
In this paper, we address the problem of evaluating the aggregated services offered to the user through a multimodal travel planner. The effective design of a multimodal travel planner is considered a complex task since it requires the identification of the best possible route that combines segments of different transport modes. We describe a novel architecture and its respective connectivity infrastructure...
In the enterprise marketing process, on-line data plays more and more important role. As a type of data, spam (or fake) reviews of the products, however, have been seriously affecting the reliability of both decision making and data analysis of the enterprise. To detect spam reviews, the paper presents a set of opinion spam detection's identification indicators based on behavior features of the spammer...
