A project concerned with applying Dynamic Data Driven Application Simulations (DDDAS) to monitor and manage surface transportation systems is described. Building upon activities such as the Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration initiative, a hierarchical DDDAS architecture is presented that includes coupled in-vehicle, roadside, and traffic management center simulations. The overall architecture i...

Research areas of this dissertation are security for mobile agents, for applications based on mobile agents, and for distributed network environments in which mobile agents execute. Mobile agents paradigm has captured researchers' and industry's interests long time ago because of its innovative capabilities and attractive applications. The ability of mobile agents to autonomously migrate from h...

Introduction Geographic information systems date from the 1960s, when the first was developed by IBM under contract to the Canadian Government. That first GIS bears little resemblance to the systems of today, not only because hardware and software have progressed enormously—more importantly, the needs it was designed to satisfy originated in the difficulties humans experience in performing manu...

Smart grid enhances optimization in generation, distribution and consumption of the electricity by integrating information and communication technologies into the grid. Today, utilities are moving towards smart grid applications, most common one being deployment of smart meters in advanced metering infrastructure, and the first technical challenge they face is the huge volume of data generated ...
