Finding Data Aggregation Locations in Smart Grids

2021
The number and location of Data Aggregation Points (DAPs) will affect the smart meter neighborhood network's communication quality and cost. Because smart meters rely on wireless technology to transmit data, their transmission range is limited, so suburban and rural areas will require many DAP installation needs. It is essential to reduce the number of

Two SMART Fuzzy Aggregation Operators

2019
In this paper we introduce new disjunction and conjunction (named SMART) for merging, without any exogenous components, any number of fuzzy memberships. The present proposals are n-ary operators, based on a specific adaptation of Marzullo’s algorithm, that depart from the usual fuzzy mean on the base of the agreement/disagreement among the different ...

Smart Nanocages as a Tool for Controlling Supramolecular Aggregation

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2021
An important aspect in the field of supramolecular chemistry is the control of the composition and aggregation state of supramolecular polymers and the possibility of stabilizing out-of-equilibrium states. The ability to freeze metastable systems and release them on demand, under spatiotemporal control, to allow their thermodynamic evolution toward the

Aggregate-Signcryption for Securing Smart Camera IoT Applications

2018 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS), 2018
Smart cameras are considered as key sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) applications ranging from home to city scales. Since these cameras often capture highly sensitive information, security is a major concern. An elliptic curve (EC) based signcryption achieves resource-efficiency by performing data encryption and signing in a single step.

Smart and Practical Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation for Fog-Based Smart Grids

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2021
With the increasingly powerful and extensive deployment of edge devices, edge/fog computing enables customers to manage and analyze data locally, and extends computing power and data analysis applications to network edges. Meanwhile, as the next generation of the power grid, the smart grid can achieve the goal of efficiency, economy, security ...

Biological active matter aggregates: Inspiration for smart colloidal materials

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2019
Aggregations of social organisms exhibit a remarkable range of properties and functionalities. Multiple examples, such as fire ants or slime mold, show how a population of individuals is able to overcome an existential threat by gathering into a solid-like aggregate with emergent functionality. Surprisingly, these aggregates are driven by simple rules,

Privacy-Friendly Aggregation for the Smart-Grid

2011
The widespread deployment of smart meters for the modernisation of the electricity distribution network, but also for gas and water consumption, has been associated with privacy concerns due to the potentially large number of measurements that reflect the consumers behaviour.

Preserving data integrity for smart grid data aggregation

2012 IEEE Third International Conference on Smart Grid Communications (SmartGridComm), 2012
In smart grid systems, secure in-network data aggregation approaches have been introduced to efficiently collect aggregation data, while preserving data privacy of individual meters. Nevertheless, it is also important to maintain the integrity of aggregate data in the presence of accidental errors and internal/external attacks.

Aggregation Points Planning in Smart Grid Communication System

IEEE Communications Letters, 2015
Aggregation Point (AP) in neighborhood area network (NAN) plays a key role on smart grid communication. The AP stores and forwards data stream between home area network (HAN) and wide area network (WAN) in the smart grid. In this letter, we study how to plan the APs in the smart grid to minimize the total deployment cost of the opening APs and the ...

Secure and Scalable Aggregation in the Smart Grid

2014 6th International Conference on New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS), 2014
In this work, we describe two decentralized protocols that can be used to securely aggregate the electricity measurements made by n smart meters. The first protocol is a very lightweight one, it uses only symmetric cryptographic primitives and provides security against honest-but-curious adversaries.
