In this context, electric Demand Response (DR) is increasingly being recognized as one of the levers that can help to balance the electricity grid. Warehouses, by their high thermal inertia, are promising candidates for applying DR. In this work, a global system model, taking into account the warehouse characteristics (walls, pallets, refrigeration machine…) and outdoor conditions (outside temperature, solar energy flow), was developed and compared to experimental results obtained in a frozen warehouse. Air temperature distribution, energy consumption and impact of different DR scenarios (report effect) were investigated. The results showed that important parameters to consider for applying DR in a warehouse are the duration, the percentage of load (related to the occupancy ratio) and the season.","PeriodicalId":344652,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126288515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We created an evolutionary protocol, EVO-SCHIRP (Evolutionary S-CHIRP) and compare results against CHIRP and S-CHIRP based on communication efficiency and information security. This research took place in two phases. First, EVO-SCHIRP was compared to CHIRP by implementing an efficient communication protocol with one clique. Second, EVO-SCHIRP was compared to S-CHIRP by considering communication security. This research opportunity extends research in many fields such as swarm intelligence, evolutionary robotics, information security, autonomic systems, and decentralized communication. The CHIRP protocols have many applications such as drone communication, infrastructure inspection, and biomedical sensors.","PeriodicalId":344652,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121584433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermographic inspection is a technique that allows non-invasive sensing. Through it, it is possible to analyze components and electrical equipment by capturing the temperature of its surface. With the aim of finding electrical faults and reducing losses, this work studies the use of thermography, computational algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques to automatically detect electrical problems.","PeriodicalId":344652,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130194502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aimed at development of an automatic procedure for SCD, a two-stage approach is proposed in this study using single remote sensing image. Due to the interruption of cloud in the detection process, the two-stage approach includes crude snow detection and accurate snow detection. In the first stage, weighted fuzzy C-means (WFCM) is introduced for crude snow detection to extract snow and cloud. In the second stage, gradient optimization and morphological closed operation (GOMCO) are combined for accurate snow detection to remove the cloud. By iteratively using GOMCO, the result of snow is obtained. The experiment shows that the interference of the others can be effectively removed and the snow area is obtained accurately by using the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":344652,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123177849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a model smart home that we believe will be typical in the near future, and examine its network structure and vulnerable technologies, links, and nodes quantified as betweenness centrality. We then propose two novel graph representations to capture the importance and interdependence of particular technologies, such as the 802.11 core, 802.15.4/ZigBee IoT smart devices, and LTE/4G/5G access links: the end-system technology graph and technology interdependence graph.
