As pressures to decarbonize the electricity grid increase, the grid edge is witnessing a rapid adoption of distributed and renewable generation. As a result, traditional methods for reactive power management and compensation may become…
The current scientific and technological landscape is characterised by the increasing availability of data resources and processing tools and services. In this setting, metadata have emerged as a key factor facilitating management, sharing…
Data is the new oil of the 21st century. The growing trend of trading data for greater welfare has led to the emergence of data markets. A data market is any mechanism whereby the exchange of data products including datasets and data…
In the first phase of the EU DataGrid (EDG) project, a Data Management System has been implemented and provided for deployment. The components of the current EDG Testbed are: a prototype of a Replica Manager Service built around the basic…
The continuous increase in performance requirements, for both scientific computation and industry, motivates the need of a powerful computing infrastructure. The Grid appeared as a solution for inexpensive execution of heavy applications in…
A few grid-computing tools are available for public use. However, such systems are usually quite complex and require several man-months to set up. In case the user wishes to set-up an ad-hoc grid in a small span of time, such tools cannot…
The increased flexibility requirement needs a flexibility market at the distribution grid level operated by the distribution system operators (DSOs) to resolve challenges to ensure secure operation and, to integrate new renewable…
Microservice architectures have become a popular approach for designing scalable distributed applications. Despite their extensive use in industrial settings for over a decade, there is limited understanding of the data management…
[Context and motivation] The automotive industry is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation towards software defined vehicles. The automotive market of the future demands a higher level of automation, electrification of the power…
Grid computing is a type of distributed computing which allows sharing of computer resources through Internet. It not only allows us to share files but also most of the software and hardware resources. An efficient resource discovery…
The intermittent nature of renewable energy resources creates extra challenges in the operation and control of the electricity grid. Demand flexibility markets can help in dealing with these challenges by introducing incentives for…
The transition away from carbon-based energy sources poses several challenges for the operation of electricity distribution systems. Increasing shares of distributed energy resources (e.g. renewable energy generators, electric vehicles) and…
Edge Computing is a new distributed Cloud Computing paradigm in which computing and storage capabilities are pushed to the topological edge of a network. However, various standards and implementations are promoted by different initiatives.…
This paper presents a perspective on the Healthgrid initiative which involves European projects deploying pioneering applications of grid technology in the health sector. In the last couple of years, several grid projects have been funded…
In "Grids" and "collaboratories," we find distributed communities of resource providers and resource consumers, within which often complex and dynamic policies govern who can use which resources for which purpose. We propose a new approach…
The Smart grid (SG), generally known as the next-generation power grid emerged as a replacement for ill-suited power systems in the 21st century. It is in-tegrated with advanced communication and computing capabilities, thus it is ex-pected…
Nowadays, society has recognized that the lack of access to spatial data and tools for their analysis is the limiting factor of economic development. It came to the realization that without the single information space, which is implemented…
Cloud computing is the latest effort in delivering computing resources as a service. It represents a shift away from computing as a product that is purchased, to computing as a service that is delivered to consumers over the internet from…
Database management has become an enormous tool for on-demand content distribution services, proffering required information and providing custom services to the user. Also plays a major role for the platforms to manage their data in such a…
Global system of distributing computing - Grid - created as reply for challenges, connected with the qualitative progress of complexity of experimental physical assemblies and information systems, is presented as optimal IT platform for…
