This presentation will describe the ways in which data is kept secret, verified to have come from a particular origin, and protected from unwanted modification while in transit. Such technology, which belongs to a field called Encryption and Authentication Systems, is very important to understand if you are an engineer or manager considering how to protect measurement and control data on the emerging smart electrical grid. This talk will explain symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems and then explain how they are and may be applied to electric power applications.

Context-awareness is a vital requirement in building valuable and capable adaptive systems. Context-aware ubiquitous computing focuses on the use of context of users, devices, environment, etc in order to offer services essential for a particular person, space and time. This paper provides a survey of context-aware middleware architectures. An overview of each middleware is provided, along with the description of the main features. Based on the conducted survey, this paper compares and contrasts the various characteristics of context-aware middleware architectures. We present the analysis of the middleware architectures based on several parameters including fault tolerance, adaptability, interoperability, architectural style, discoverability, location transparency and aspect oriented composition.

Publishing in general and newspaper organizations specifically confront rising challenges to collect information faster at lower cost. These challenges must be coordinated with organization's strategic, tactical, and operational needs via the alignment of Information Technology (IT) with the business strategy. The ultimate goal is a Modern Publishing and Newspaper Industries. This paper provides an innovative solution to accomplish this goal by accelerating publishing and newspaper processes time. The process' time is accelerated via an Intelligent Search Lifecycle Architecture (ISLA); which integrates Search Engine, Information Extraction, Information Retrieval, Data Mining and Data Warehouse using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

This paper deals with modeling and simulation technique of a Dynamic Voltage Restore (DVR). The DVR is a dynamic solution for protection of critical loads from voltage sags / swells. The DVR restores constant load voltage and voltage wave form by injecting an appropriate voltage. Present novel structure improves power quality by compensating voltage sag and voltage swells. This paper discussed abc to dq0 base new control algorithm to generate the pulse. The proposed control scheme is simple to design and has excellent voltage compensation capabilities. Effectiveness of proposed technique is investigated through computer simulation by using MATLAB/SIMULNK software. The simulation results have shown validation of the control system.

Transverse modes of electromagnetic fields are proposed to be encoded as qubits for the implementation of a quantum NOT gate. The possibility of this encoding scheme was designed, simulated and verified through rigorous numerical analyses using the Beam propagation method. The proposed gate has the potential of being more compact and easily realizable than some other optical implementation proposals since it is based on planar light wave circuit technology and can be constructed very easily by using a planar light wave technology. The Results proved that the design is able to perform the required NOT transformation and the conclusion was reached that the model was a successful implementation of a quantum NOT gate.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an identification system used to create an automated tracking solution to provide real time inventory visibility, operational status, movement of assets through the supply chain. The problem with successful RFID implementation is the lack of application specific optimization. In a packaging environment the variation in product, speed of conveyor, tag position, distance of tag from antenna cannot be generalized. To gain optimum performance from an RFID system these factors should be optimized. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between speed of the conveyor belt, type, orientation and placement of the tag. Full factorial and fractional factorial designs are considered to determine the effect of critical factors and the interaction between them based on tag readability. Recommendations are provided for the combinations of the potential factors and their levels in order to obtain the best possible readability.

Vehicle engine faults are serious faults that occur inside the engine, the ability to successfully perform fault diagnosis is highly dependent on technician skills. Some experienced technicians have some failure rate, which can lead to serious waste in time and money. Accordingly, an improved diagnosing methods is highly needed. In this paper, we develop an algorithm for fault diagnosis in vehicle engines using sounds techniques, since each engine fault has a specific sound that is distinguished. We collect and analyze sound samples from different types of cars, which represent different types of fault, to create a database of sound prints that will make the whole process of diagnosing engine faults based on sound easier and less time consuming. Different features from the sound samples are extracted and used for diagnosis. The fault under test is compared with the faults in the database according to their correlation, normalized mean square error, and formant frequencies values. The best match is considered the detected fault. The developed system can be useful for the inexperienced technicians and engineers and can be used as a training module for them. The simulation results show the high fault detection rates of the proposed algorithm.
