The availability of massive trajectory data collected from GPS devices has received significant attentions in recent years. A hot topic is trip recommendation, which focuses on searching trajectories that connect (or are close to) a set of query…
Video data contributes to the majority of big data, henceforth, how to efficiently and effectively discovering knowledge from large-scale video data becomes a crucial challenge. In this paper, we propose multiple architectural styles for the domain…
In a shifting energy landscape, organizations are incorporating energy impacts into strategic decision making. Conventional approaches such as life-cycle assessment and net present value are useful in this regard but are not without limitations. This…
This chapter aims to acquaint the reader with the discipline of grid architecture as the basis for introducing a structural approach to the definition, characterization, and analysis of electric power system resilience. It provides the reader with an…
The increase in the number and scale of natural disasters in recent years poses a serious threat and damage to the power system. In turn, total abstinence from damage caused by natural disasters or emergencies is much more difficult and impossible…
Because of climate change, power outages caused by severe weather are on the rise. Several researchers and policymakers have been involved in characterizing energy resilience and reliability to highlight the findings and incorporate them into future…
Black Powder (BP) poses a serious threat to the integrity and operation of natural gas transmission networks worldwide. While BP corrective and preventive remedies have been proposed in the past, real-time detection and quantification of BP in…
Trajectory segmentation is a technique of dividing sequential trajectory into segments. These segments are building blocks to various applications. Hence a system framework is essential to support trajectory segment indexing, storage, and query. When…
A new way of statistical pulsation measurements by radioisotope technique is described. It is an alternative to the existing stream control methods and allows to improve accuracy of measurements. The effect of harmful substances transported in crude…
Smart city governance (SCG) is a new paradigm of urban policy, planning, and management that able to solve emerging challenges of urban areas along with ensuring urban sustainability. Data-driven technology provides an opportunity to transform the…
