Smart Grid solutions are being driven by the desire for more efficient energy usage worldwide. Nowadays Smart Grid communications network is a heterogeneous network based on many different standards. This paper describes the suitability of Wi-Fi technology for use in the Smart Grid backhaul.

Smart home is a relatively new technology. Originally, smart home technology was used to control environmental systems such as lighting and heating; but recently the use of smart technology has been developed so that almost any electrical component within the home can be included in the system. Complex smart home applications include three levels of control: local control, discrete-event contro...

Smart technologies play a key role in sustainable economic growth. They transform houses, offices, factories, and even cities into autonomic, self-controlled systems acting often without human intervention and thus sparing people routine connected with information collecting and processing. The paper gives an overview of a novel Wi-Fi technology, currently under development, which aims to organ...

Security in smart grid is challenging. Smart Grid is recognized as two way communication technology. There are numerous communication, intelligent, monitoring and electrical elements employed in power grid that makes it smart. These elements regularly generates cum real timely talks the critical information like monitoring data, customer energy consumption, grid status, demand response etc amon...

The increasing usage of computer technology in our everyday life and especially in our homes and the increasing demand for sustainable life style concepts raise the question of how to combine these two trends. Can we make smart homes sustainable or sustainable homes smart? This paper discusses current trends and challenges arising with these questions and proposes a sustainable smart home appro...

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...

In recent years, an executive number of attacks is to be advanced the power system knowledge that may be able to create an integrity over the world. Wisely The security development of charging stations becomes urgent matters. The attention of smart grid and integrate different technology such as The quality of electric vehicles on the road increases more and more interesting. For example, Charg...

This thesis breaks new ground by providing the first detailed study of smart card innovation during its first twenty years (1974-1996). The overall aim is to apply sociotechnical principles to further our understanding of the innovation process as it relates to smart card technology. By using a sociotechnical framework, this study also seeks to illustrate the Umitations of conventional innovati...

A smart city is an environment where a pervasive, multi-service network is employed to provide citizens improved living conditions as well as better public safety and security. Advanced communication technologies are essential to achieve this goal. In particular, an efficient and reliable communication network plays a crucial role in providing continue, ubiquitous, and reliable interconnections...

Culture, society, and technology heavily influence architectural form, and basic architectural elements and functions evolve to suit users’ needs. In the 20 century, with the development of computational technology, architecture underwent dramatic transformation. Human-computer interaction (HCI) has changed architectural space into a smart space, which provides new ways for humans to interact w...
