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,

Data Aggregation Point Placement for Smart Meters in the Smart Grid

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2022
Smart meters (SMs) measure and transmit fine-grained electricity consumption data to the data center at a certain high frequency (such as every 15 minutes). A data aggregation point (DAP) is a relay device between a cluster of SMs and data centers. The placement of DAPs significantly impacts the cost-effectiveness and quality of service (QoS) of the ...

Aggregated Activity Recognition Using Smart Devices

2016 3rd International Conference on Soft Computing & Machine Intelligence (ISCMI), 2016
Activity recognition has become of great importance in many fields especially in fitness monitoring, health and elder care by offering the opportunity for large amount of applications which recognize human's daily life activities. Human activity recognition (HAR) was not only limited on health care field or monitoring sports, but it also started to ...

VIMSEN — Smart tool for energy aggregators

2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC), 2015
The subsidy feed in tariff policy, which has been adopted in the past few years, for accelerating renewable energy investments, cannot be retained as a sustainable business model for the future smart energy grid. This is mainly due to the fact that this policy increases the energy cost, especially when the amount of the energy generated by renewable ...

ICT Enabled Smart Rural Aggregation Platform

2011 Annual SRII Global Conference, 2011
In the emerging markets like India, there is a clear need to provide accessibility of rural markets to multiple service providers and make multiple options available to rural consumers at affordable prices. In this paper, we analyze various requirements on such a platform that provide accessibility to rural people in emerging markets.

Value of aggregation in smart grids

2013 IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Communications (SmartGridComm), 2013
The projected smart grid intends to deliver a variety of services to energy consumers. Many of these services rely on aggregates of energy consumers. Forecasting energy consumption of groups of users is a crucial aspect of this process. This paper addresses electricity load forecasting on varying scales of aggregation.

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.
