This brief focuses on stochastic energy optimization for distributed energy resources in smart grids. Along with a review of drivers and recent developments towards distributed energy resources, this brief presents research challenges of integrating millions of distributed energy resources into the grid. The brief then proposes a novel three-level hierarchical architecture for effectively integrating distributed energy resources into smart grids. Under the proposed hierarchical architecture, distributed energy resource management algorithms at the three levels (i.e., smart home, smart neighborhood, and smart microgrid) are developed in this brief based on stochastic optimization that can handle the involved uncertainties in the system.
A history of wildlife in China, tracing the changes the country’s fauna and flora have endured from the rise of the earliest civilizations to the present. China is home to one of Earth’s largest and most diverse mix of plant and animals. Many are among the rarest creatures alive, some now surviving only in captivity. An unfortunate few went extinct early this century. How did this come to pass? Great Joy Under Heaven tells the history of dozens of species spread across the breadth of China: from the taiga of Manchuria to the burning deserts of the far west, from the bamboo forests of Sichuan to the tropical island of Hainan, and from the Roof of the World down the Long River to the sea. Spanning the ancient expulsion of rhinos and elephants from the Chinese heartland to the disappearance and return of the elaphure and takhi, this volume recounts the drastic effects of humanity on the wildlife of China over the past 4,000 years and the ongoing struggles to save and restore some of what has been lost.
Coverage in this proceedings volume includes data mining and knowledge discovery, wireless, sensor networks and grid, XML and query processing and optimization, security, information extraction, semantic Web and Web applications, and workflow and middleware.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication, SmartCom 2021, which took place in New York City, USA, during December 29–31, 2021.* The 44 papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 165 submissions. The scope of SmartCom 2021 was broad, from smart data to smart communications, from smart cloud computing to smart security. The conference gathered all high-quality research/industrial papers related to smart computing and communications and aimed at proposing a reference guideline for further research. * Conference was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The five-volume set LNCS 3980-3984 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2006. The volumes present a total of 664 papers organized according to the five major conference themes: computational methods, algorithms and applications high performance technical computing and networks advanced and emerging applications geometric modelling, graphics and visualization information systems and information technologies. This is Part III.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP Conference on Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks held in Ottawa, Canada, July, 2008. This series publishes state-of-the-art results in the sciences and technologies of information and communication. The scope of the series includes: foundations of computer science; software theory and practice; education; computer applications in technology; communication systems; systems modeling and optimization; information systems; computers and society; computer systems technology; security and protection in information processing systems; artificial intelligence; and human-computer interaction. Proceedings and post-proceedings of refereed international conferences in computer science and interdisciplinary fields are featured. These results often precede journal publication and represent the most current research. The principal aim of the IFIP series is to encourage education and the dissemination and exchange of information about all aspects of computing.
This book explores opportunities and challenges in the field of Internet of Everything (IoE) security and privacy under the umbrella of distributed ledger technologies and blockchain technology including distributed consensus mechanisms, crypto-sensors, encryption algorithms, and fault tolerance mechanisms for devices and systems. It focusses on the applicability of blockchain technology, including architectures and platforms for blockchain and IoE, authentication and encryption algorithms for IoE, malicious transactions detection, blockchain for forensics, and so forth. Outlines the major benefits as well as challenges associated with integration of blockchain with IoE; Describes detailed f...
