The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self- healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources. From a conceptual point of view, ...

Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was assigned “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability o ...

Driven by the rapid advancement of technology and the growing need of business requirements, cyber communications are embedded in many physical systems. The integration of cyber and physical capabilities leads to the creation of many applica- tions with enormous societal impact and economic benefit. ...

In order to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the power grid, diversify energy resources, improve power security, and reduce greenhouse gas emission, many countries have been putting great efforts in designing and constructing their smart grid(SG) infrastructures.Smart gridcommunicationsnetw ...

The electrical power grid is often referred to as one of the most complex man- made systems on Earth. Its importance to all aspects of our daily lives, economic stability, and national security cannot be overstated, and the need for an updated, secure, resilient, and smarter power grid infrastructur ...

Sensors are points ofcontact betweenthe material world ofatoms, mass, andenergy and the seemingly immaterial world of information, computation, and cognition. Linking these two domains more tightly yields all sorts of practical benefits, such as improvedinputdevicesforcomputers,moreeffectivemedicald ...

Radio frequency identifi cation (RFID) is a modern wireless data transmission and reception technique for applications including automatic identifi cation, asset track- ing and security surveillance. As barcodes and other means of identifi cation and asset tracking are inadequate for recent demands, ...

The rapid growth of RFID use in various supply chain operations, which has arisen from the development of Electronic Product Code (EPC) technology, has created a need for the consideration of security issues in the adoption of that technology.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring and control, office access control, intelligent labe ...

In the first chapter, the topic of this book is classified into the area of pervasive com- puting. Further, security and privacy in the scope of RFID technology is motivated and the vision that guides the remainder of this book is introduced.
