The convergence of sensors, smart objects, wearable devices, communications (Internet, wireless, mobile), intelligent information processing (filtering, feature extraction, feature selection), and information fusion/detection technologies, has given birth to a new field of study and applications, called Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Planet, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Smart Sensing or 物联网 (...

The smart grid has received high interest for improving efficiency and reliability of power system. It adopts Information and System Technology for this purpose and several technologies are considered as system architecture of the smart grid. Consequently security issues of system should be considered for the smart grid. In this paper system architecture for the smart grid is presented. Require...

In Europe, fragmentation of execution venues has been triggered by increasing competition among markets and a new regulatory environment set up by MiFID. Against this background, IT-based sophisticated order routing systems (Smart Order Routing systems) promise to assure efficiency despite fragmented markets. This raises the question on the relevance and economic value of this technology in Eur...

Recent advances in smart glasses, wearable computers in the form of glasses, bring new therapeutic and monitoring possibilities for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). For example, it can provide visual and auditory cues during activities of daily living that have long been used to improve gait disturbances. Furthermore, smart glasses can personalize therapies based on the state of the user a...

Based on the classic behavioural theory the “Theory of Planned Behaviour,” the authors have developed an agent-based model to simulate the diffusion of smart metering technology in the electricity market. The authors simulate the emergent adoption of smart metering technology under different management strategies and economic regulations. Their research results show that in terms of boosting th...

Urban areas around the world are populating their streets with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in order to feed incipient smart city IT systems with metropolitan data. In the future smart cities, WSN technology will have a massive presence in the streets, and the operation of municipal services will be based to a great extent on data gathered with this technology. However, from an information s...

IntelliDiary is an agent oriented schedule management system based on the multiagent technology. In this paper, we describe some facilities of IntelliDiary, such as a smart schedule arrangement and a smart support to utilize public services based on a diary. Moreover, we explain how the multi-agent technology is applied to support these facilities.

With the introduction of smart grid technology, the electricity market paradigm is transformed into consumers-oriented from suppliers-oriented. Thus, a study on diffusion of smart grid in perspective of users is necessary. This research examines factors affecting the adoption and diffusion of smart grid technology from user’s perspective and provides strategic guidelines of diffusing smart grid...
