Recharging decisions for electric vehicles require many special considerations due to battery dynamics. Battery longevity is prolonged by recharging less frequently and at slower rates, and also by not charging the battery too close to its maximum capacity. In this paper, we address the problem of finding an optimal recharging policy for an electric vehicle along a given path. The path consists...

Increased attention to the economic impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) underscores the impact of ICT on the social side of the “digital divide.” ICT and individual and organizational changes are often closely related. This paper examines the main characteristics of the relationship between ICT and human resources in Spanish firms, in the context of a developed country wi...

Abstract: The rollout of electric vehicles substantially changes the requirements for current power grid infrastructures. The high power demand of fast recharge stations in combination with a high risk of simultaneity leads to the necessity of extended ICT integration into the energy distribution process. This paper describes ongoing research on a simulation framework for modeling the communica...
