Review of detection, assessment and mitigation of security risk in smart grid
2017
The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the existing power grid has created new problems to the grid. The grid network has become more vulnerable to security threats and risk which is a corollary to the modern data network. Smart Grid has strict latency requirement for data communication and the violation of this latency is very costly. This paper assesses the threats and vulnerabilities associated with the Smart Grid network and reviews the methods to mitigate these security risks.
For a socio-psychological approach of the concept of racial stacking

This research led to a survey of black players’ positions in the professional championships in France (Pro A basketball). Using social…
