However, building context-aware applications is difficult due to the lack of adequate infrastructure support. In this paper, a web middleware architecture for the development of context-awareness applications using near field communication （NFC） is proposed. Based on it, the efficient support for acquiring, interpreting, and accessing context is provided, and the user＇s quality of experience is improved. Moreover, a mobile web middleware for the testing and full realization of NFC context-awareness applications has been developed together with two application examples.展开更多
Automation has arrived in the low voltage grid domain. In the next few years, the secondary substation—at the barriers of medium and low voltage grids—will thus be upgraded to enable novel functions.

In the next few years, the secondary substation—at the barriers of medium and low voltage grids—will thus be upgraded to enable novel functions. In this paper, we present various smart grid applications running on such intelligent secondary substations(iSSN) including their interaction with each other. We integrate energy consumption and production data, as well as forecasts, sensed from the smart buildings’ energy management systems(BEMSs) into the operation of the low voltage grid. A suitable framework for those modular applications includes features to initiate their installation, update, removal, the remote operator site, and not requiring staff on-site for such typical reappearing maintenance tasks.展开更多
