Boundary-conforming invertible maps from the unit square onto the physical domain generate unfolded grids. On the other hand, if a map is not invertible, it produces folded grids and clearly it cannot be used in computations. The formulation of a variational principle which allows to separate...

We develop a system for grid computing where the price of computing tasks is determined by an audited market-exchange. We show a method to provide a variable certificate, called \witness," of program execution with the following property: If two different agents running the same program on the...

Global law settings are characterized by a structural pre-eminence of connectivity norms, a type of norm which differs from coherency or possibility norms. The centrality of connectivity norms emerges from the function of global law, which is to increase the probability of transfers of condensed...

A new model of self-creating and self-organizing neural network, Cell-Splitting Grid (CSG), is presented. In this proposed CSG algorithm, the neurons and their connections are created and organized on a 2-dimensional plane according to the input data distribution. Compared with Self-Organizing...

Grid computing and grid topologies are attracting a growing amount of attention. Originating as a concept for sharing computing resources among wired participants, the grid concept is gradually been extended into the wireless world. A Wireless Grid is an augmentation of a wired grid that...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a strong candidate for smart grid applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure, demand response management, dynamic pricing, load control, electricity fraud detection, fault diagnostics, substation monitoring and control as well as automation of...

Distributed photo-voltaic (PV) generation is one of the pillars of energy transitions around the world, but its deployment in the distribution grid requires costly reinforcements and expansions. Prosumage - consisting of a household-level PV unit coupled with a battery storage system - has been...
