Software defined networks (SDN) has been proposed to monitor and manage the communication networks globally. SDN revolutionized the way the communication network managed previously. By segregating the control plane from the data plane, SDN helps the network operators to manage the network flexibly. Since smart grid heavily relies on communication networks, therefore, SDN has also paved its way ...

Grid computing has become increasingly popular with the growth of the Internet, especially in large-scale scientific computation. Computational Grids are characterized by their scale, their heterogeneity, and their unreliability, making the creation of Grid software quite a challenge. Security concerns make the deployment of Grid infrastructure similarly daunting. We argue that functional progr...

The management of grid is differing from that of individual system and current Internet. A novel model on network management--Dynamically Constructed Network Management (DCNM) is proposed. Maybe it could give a good suggestion to management on grid. The network services and applications are treated as “soft equipment” managed by the NMS thus all the resources in the network can be managed under...

Grid applications are special cases of networking applications. In order to investigate potential applications of Grid technologies to e-learning we discuss in the following some current applications of network technologies in e-learning as they have occurred at the University Koblenz-Landau. At the appropriate points we shall indicate demands that our e-learning applications pose to the underl...

Recently, attention has been focused on whether the Smart Grid could work efficiently in an energy network. The subject of our study is the electric vehicle (EV), which has been proposed as a potential chargeable/dischargeable part of the power grid infrastructure. As energy is transferred between an EV and the power grid, it is possible to regulate energy on the entire grid via charging and di...

Power grid planning and design platform is an integration power grid planning and design and technical-support platform system, serving in power grid companies at all levels and the planning and design unit multistage users for collaborative planning design, comprehensively supporting planning and design basis data management, major network planning, distribution network planning, project plann...

This paper deals with the design of a diagnosis tool for a network of rain gauge sensors in the context of human-machine cooperation. The model of the whole system is difficult to be completely established before the diagnosis analysis. A part of the expert’s knowledge is tacit and it’ll be exploited during the diagnostic process e.g. expert analyzes the hyetograph of rainfall of a cluster of r...
