Multi-application smart card technology facilitates applications to securely share their data and functionality. The security enforcement and assurance in application sharing is provided by the smart card firewall. The firewall mechanism is well defined and studied in the Issuer Centric Smart Card Ownership Model (ICOM), in which a smart card is under total control of its issuer. However, it is...

The traffic lights control system is broadly implemented to track and the flow of vehicles through intersection multiple roads. Nevertheless, synchronization light at adjacent junctions an intricate issue given different parameters involved. Existing systems do not many flows approaching same junctions. This results in jams congestion urban areas or major cities with high volume consisting vari...

This paper proposes an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm by Direct Load Control (DLC) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. The cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with DLC programs. The load curtailment cost is based ...

This paper describes design issues on smart transducer interfaces to hide the internal node properties and allow a decoupling of applications from communication properties like message timing, flow control and bus access. We present a smart transducer interface that incorporates three different interfaces (real-time service, diagnostic/maintenance, configuration/planning). Further decomposition...

With the increasing attention of the renewable energy implementation in distributed power system, the hybrid smart grid (SG) operation is mainly featured by distributed renewable generation, data visualization, data prediction in high accuracy and operation cost minimization. Due to the large volume of heterogeneous data provided by both the customer and the grid side, a big data visualization ...

Smart Home is one of emerging application domains of The Internet of Things. It minimizes user’s intervention in monitoring home settings and controlling home appliances. Mobile terminal has become an important part of Smart Home now. This paper presents an effective approach to solve the potential problems when using mobile terminal in Smart Home. In the smart home system, a kind of simple, ea...

The purpose of this paper is to apply MEMS techniques to manufacture a gas flow sensor that consists with an airflow rate and airflow direction sensing units for detection of airflow states. This study uses a silicon wafer as a substrate which is deposited silicon nitride layers. To form the airflow rate sensing unit, a micro heater and a sensing resistor are manufactured over a membrane that r...
