In thedynamic engineering consulting, less has been done so far. This research tries to find thepossibility and potential of the Internet application in design and consulting for the AEC industryby proposing a working model in specific area, steel construction. Several issues have beendiscussed: defining and formatting the typical procedure and character of the steel constructionconsulting, behavior approach based on activities among partners, and the model organization.展开更多

Their performance is critical but difficult to be monitored efficiently and in real time. This paper introduces an Internet based remote monitoring system for automobile testing systems, and the design and the implementation using Web database and Socket techniques.展开更多

Electric vehicles and local energy storage will be widely deployed. Internet technology will be utilized to transform the power grid into an energysharing inter-grid. To prepare for the future, a smart grid with intelligent periphery, or smart GRIP, is proposed. The building blocks of GRIP architecture are called clusters and include an energy-management system (EMS)-controlled transmission grid in the core and distribution grids, micro-grids, and smart buildings and homes on the periphery; all of which are hierarchically structured. The layered architecture of GRIP allows a seamless transition from the present to the future and plug-and-play interoperability. The basic functions of a cluster consist of (1) dispatch, (2) smoothing, and (3) mitigation. A risk-limiting dispatch methodology is presented; a new device, called the electric spring, is developed for smoothing out fluctuations in periphery clusters; and means to mitigate failures are discussed.展开更多

Keyword extraction is a key step in this kind of advertising, through which appropriate advertising keywords are extracted from Web pages so that corresponding ads can be triggered. This paper describes a system that learns how to extract keywords from web pages for advertisement targeting. Firstly a text network for a single webpage is build, then PageRank is applied in the network to decide on the importance of a word, finally top-ranked words are selected as keywords of the webpage. The algorithm is tested on the corpus ofblog pages, and the experimental results prove practical and effective.展开更多
