DETERLab is transitioning to the new, NSF-funded SPHERE research infrastructure. Earlier this year, DETERLab users transitioned to a Merge-based DETER, which will serve as the basis for SPHERE. Please stay tuned for more information.

In the meantime, please VISIT THE NEW SPHERE PROJECT WEBSITE.

NASPI Association to Contribute to Understanding of How DeterLab can Support Research in Cyber-Physical Systems

I attended the 20th NASPI Working Group meeting in Knoxville, TN on March 11-12, 2014. The NASPI Working Group is a voluntary organization of electric power engineers, technical managers in power-related corporations, vendors of products supporting power transmission, and academics in the power field. The Working Group is composed of four task teams, each of which has a specific charter and usually an agenda to develop standards and interoperability guidelines for testing, installing, and communicating with PMUs. I have been attending meetings of the Data and Network Management Task Team, and at the Knoxville meeting I agreed to chair a sub-task team centered on the communications facilities for the Smart Grid. I expect that my association with this group will contribute to an understanding of how DeterLab can support research in cyber-physical systems.
