friendly. Energy conservation, and environmental issues are very important topics in the world today. As a result the U.S. electrical system has undergone some revolutionary social changes in the past few years (Levinson, 2010) by creating a smart grid in additional efforts to try and reduce greenhouse admissions. Designed to be significantly more efficient than the modern thermostat, Nest Labs Inc Learning Thermostats remind the owner to change the air filter, which is just one

Research Part One An increasing number of solar panels are popping up on the rooftops of homes and businesses across the Hawaiian Islands. Although this is beneficial to homeowners, businesses, and the environment, the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) grid systems cannot handle reciprocating the increasing photovoltaic energy. Fears of the entire system crashing could happen if the right actions are not taken (McCoy, 2013). In this research, Learning Team D looks at HECO to determine what actions they

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is all the rage these days. The problem seems to be that everyone has a different definition of what it is. As a metaphor for the internet , “the cloud” is a familiar enough term, but when you add “computing” to it, the meaning starts to become a little bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing as an updated version of utility computing: essentially virtual computers available over the internet. Others have

The Amoeba Distributed Operating System 1. INTRODUCTION Roughly speaking, we can divide the history of modern computing into the following eras: 1970s: Timesharing (1 computer with many users) 1980s: Personal computing (1 computer per user) 1990s: Parallel computing (many computers per user) Until about 1980, computers were huge, expensive, and located in computer centers. Most organizations had a single large machine. In the 1980s, prices came down to the point where each user could
