A Decision-Guided Energy Management Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing

August 31, 2011
Author(s)
Guodong Shao, Alexander Brodsky, Jorge Arinez , Daniel A. Menasce , Paul Ammann
A growing number of manufacturing industries are initiating efforts to address sustainability issues. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the manufacturing sector currently accounts for about one third of all energy consumed in the

Integration of Life Cycle Inventories Incorporating Manufacturing Unit Processes

August 31, 2011
Author(s)
Mark B. Campanelli, Jonatan K. Berglund, Sudarsan Rachuri
Sustainable manufacturing (SM) concerns the manufacture of products with regard to environmental, social, and economic impacts over the entire life cycle. With a primary focus on environmental concerns, life cycle assessment (LCA) can support SM practices

Trust-Based Multi-Agent Filtering for Increased Smart Grid Security

August 22, 2011
Author(s)
Ion Matei, John S. Baras, Vijay Srinivasan
We address the problem of state estimation of the power system for the Smart Grid.We assume that the monitoring of the electrical grid is done by a network of agents with both computing and communication capabilities. We propose a security mechanism aimed
