Do you have a mobile phone? We think you probably do, one way or another. We
would also guess that you might use it for many diff erent things in the course of your
everyday life—as a telephone certainly, but also as an address book, as a clock or
watch, as a camera, or now as a connection to your computer, email and the internet.
Th ere will be a range of people you use it to contact (or not), and various strategies
you use to take calls—or send texts, or take photos, or receive emails, or search online
(or not, in diff erent situations). Th ere are also likely to be a range of social relation-
ships in your life that your mobile phone helps to maintain—or disrupts, or inter-
venes in, or makes possible, or complicates, or just plain helps to handle.
The following sections profile many of the vendors in the NFV market. The individual profiles were created
through a collaborative effort between SDNCentral’s Research Team and the Vendor’s product experts.
SDNCentral worked under the assumption the information provided by the vendors was factual, auditing the
submissions only to remove unverifiable claims and hyperbole. Extended profiles can be viewed online.
While every attempt has been made to validate the capabilities listed in the profiles, SDNCentral advises end
users to verify the veracity of each claim for themselves in their actual deployment environments. SDNCentral
cannot be held liable for unexpected operations, damages or incorrect operation due to any inaccuracies listed
here. SDNCentral welcomes feedback and additional information from end users based on their real-world
experiences with the products and technologies listed. The SDNCentral research team can be reached at
The idea for this book was born during one of my project-related trips to the beautiful city
of Hangzhou in China, where in the role of Chief Architect I had to guide a team of very
young, very smart and extremely dedicated software developers and verification engineers.
Soon it became clear that as eager as the team was to jump into the coding, it did not have
any experience in system architecture and design and if I did not want to spend all my time in
constant travel between San Francisco and Hangzhou, the only option was to groom a number
of local junior architects. Logically, one of the first questions being asked by these carefully
selected future architects was whether I could recommend a book or other learning material
that could speed up the learning cycle. I could not. Of course, there were many books on
various related topics, but many of them were too old and most of the updated information
was either somewhere on the Internet dispersed between many sites and online magazines, or
buried in my brain along with many years of experience of system architecture.
This book is written for engineers involved in the operation, control, and
planning of electric power systems. In addition, the book provides information and
tools for researchers working in the fields of power system security and stability. The
book consists of two volumes. The first volume provides traditional techniques for the
stability analysis of large scale power systems. In addition, an overview of the main
drivers and requirements for modernization of the traditional methods for online
applications are discussed. The second volume provides techniques for online security
assessment and corrective action studies. In addition, the impact of variable generation
on the security of power systems is considered in the second volume. The first volume
may be considered as a background builder while the second volume is intended for
the coverage of edge techniques and methods for online dynamic security studies.
With the proliferation of cloud computing and Internet online services, more and
more data and computation are migrated to geographical distributed Internet data
centers (IDCs), which can provide reliability, management, and cost benefits.
However, IDC operators encounter several major problems in IDC operations, such
as huge energy consumption and energy cost, and high carbon emission. To deal
with the above problems, IDC operators have to efficiently manage the way of
energy consumption and energy supply. Considering the potential of smart grid, we
focus on the energy management of IDCs in smart grid from several perspectives,
i.e., power outage, carbon emission, heterogeneous service delay guarantees, and
operation risk.
針對嵌入式產品程序更新問題,提出了一種基于IAP技術的STM32單片機在線固件升級方案,設計了STM32單片機最小系統硬件電路和USB轉串口通信電路,并給出了Bootloader程序、APP程序、PC上機程序的實現流程.實驗結果表明,該方案具有簡單實用、穩定性高、維護成本低和設備使用效率高的特點,適用于嵌入式產品升級.For the problem of updating embedded products program,an online firmware upgrade scheme of STM32 single chip microcomputer based on IAP technology is proposed.This scheme not only elaborates the principle of IAP technology in detail but also provides the design of the minimum system hardware circuit of STM32 MCU,the design of USB for serial communication circuit,and the implementation flow of Bootloader program,APP program and PC program.The experiment results show that the scheme is simple,practical and highly stable.In addition,it can be used to actual embedded product upgrading,significantly reducing maintenance costs and improving the efficiency of equipment.
