Next Generation Networks for Distributed Electronic Resources: Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities and Challenges for Next Generation Computing

ed away and implementations seek to go as fast as possible using a synchronous highfrequency (gigahertz) clock or delay-variation-tolerant asynchronous handshake protocols. To break out of this box, we should consider designs that seek not to hide time but rather to use it to represent information. The key argument for considering this is that spiking times in the human neocortex seem well coor...

Next Generation Distributed Sensor Networks

Distributed sensor networks operating through wireless communication offer a powerful means to sense, analyze and respond to dynamic environments spread over vast areas. Latest developments in micro electro mechanical sensors (MEMS) and related devices offer several technical and operational advantages making distributed sensor networks as a viable approach. Robustly packaged, inexpensive, ener...

Resilience-Based Framework for Distributed Generation Planning in Distribution Networks

Events with low probability and high impact, which annually cause high damages, seriously threaten the health of the distribution networks. Hence, more attention to the issue of enhancing network resilience and continuity of power supply, feels more than ever, all over the world. In modern distribution networks, because of the increasing presence of distributed generation resources, an alternat...
