Smart Grids provide many benefits for society. Reliability, observability across the energy distribution system and the exchange of information between devices are just some of the features that make Smart Grids so attractive. One of the main products of a Smart Grid is to data. The amount of data a ...

In the hit CBS crime show Person of Interest, which debuted in 2011, the two heroes—one a former Central Intelligence Agency agent and the other a billionaire technology genius—work together using the ubiquitous surveillance system in New York City to try to stop violent crime. It’s referred to b ...

I saw the light of the future when I first read Ray Kurzweil’s best-seller book The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. One cubic inch of nanotube cir- cuitry, once fully developed, would be up to one hundred million times more powerful than the human brain.

During the past years, there has been a quickly rising interest in radio access tech- nologies for providing mobile as well as nomadic and fixed services for voice, video, and data. The difference in design, implementation, and use between telecom and datacom technologies is also getting more blurre ...

A decade ago, I first wrote that people moved, and networks needed to adapt to the reality that people worked on the go. Of course, in those days, wireless LANs came with a trade-off. Yes, you could use them while moving, but you had to trade a great deal of throughput to get the mobility. Although ...

One traditional view of how wireless networks evolve is of a continuous, inevitable progres- sion to higher link speeds, combined with greater mobility over wider areas. This standpoint certainly captures the development from first and second generation cellular systems focused on voice support, and ...

Evolutionary Computation (EC) deals with problem solving, optimization, and machine learning techniques inspired by principles of natural evolution and ge- netics. Just from this basic definition, it is clear that one of the main features of the research community involved in the study of its theory ...

Since the telephone was invented in the late nineteenth century, there has been a steady development of telephone services, and the number of subscribers has con- tinuously increased. One of the most revolutionary developments in telephone serv- ice in the late twentieth century was the introduction ...

The aim of this book, the first of two volumes, is to present selected research that has been undertaken under COST Action IC0902 ‘‘Cognitive Radio and Net- working for Cooperative Coexistence of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks’’ (http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902/). COST (European Cooperati ...
