From Smart Grids to Business Intelligence, a Challenge for Bioinspired Systems

  • Conference paper
Bioinspired Computation in Artificial Systems (IWINAC 2015)

Abstract

Interconnected networks for delivering electricity are in the need of powerful Information Technology Systems to successfully process information about the behaviours of suppliers and consumers. They are becoming Smart Grids, increasingly complex infrastructures that require the automated intelligent management of multi-tier services and utility’s business, improving the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution from suppliers to consumers. This paper makes a review of the State-of-the-art of this technological challenge, where Big Data from Smart Grids empowers Business Intelligence. Bioinspired computing that models adaptive, reactive, and distributed intelligent processing is candidate to play an important role in tackling this complex problems.
