The IETF has provided a framework to describe the concept but some aspects still open like transactional control. In fact transactional control mechanisms are receiving today great attention in the scope of network management. In here, we identify the lacks of current management paradigms concerning transactional control and we propose a policy-based network management system that allows specify operations over aggregations of agents and that provides high-level atomic transactions.

Policy based management have gained a crescent importance in the two last years. New demands on
internetworking, on services specification, on QoS achievement and generically on network management
functionality, have driven this paradigm to a very important level. The main idea is to provide services that
allow specifying management and operational rules in the same way people do business. Despite the main
focus of this technology has been associated with network management solutions, its generality allows to
extend these principles to any business process inside an organization. In this paper we discuss the main
proposals in the field, namely the IETF/DMTF model, and we present a proposal that allows the
specification of policy rules through a user-friendly and component-oriented graphical interface.
Dynamic Behavior of a Distribution System: High Penetration Level of Micro-turbines

In order to investigate the ability of micro-turbine units in distribution systems, new simulation tools are needed. This paper presents a dynamic model for microturbines. The novelty of this paper is the use of the controlsoriented model of a permanent magnet synchronous generator. Furthermore, a realistic voltage source inverter with current band hysteresis control is included to simulate the micro-turbine system. The micro-turbine model is implemented in simulation software, and proved in grid-connected mode for several loading sequences. The impact of high penetration levels of microturbines plants in a typical distribution feeder is discussed too.

Cognitive radio architecture for rapidly deployable heterogeneous wireless networks

The unique ability to alter communication protocols to meet changing system demands makes cognitive radio suitable for wireless applications otherwise difficult to implement using conventional wireless terminals. One such wireless application is the rapid deployment of a heterogeneous wireless network for the purpose of establishing a communication infrastructure between an incompatible set of wireless consumer devices. This paper presents the design and implementation details of cognitive radio terminals used to build a rapidly deployable, frequency-agile, heterogeneous wireless network. Research findings assisted researchers in the development of a wireless transceiver capable of connecting a variety of wireless transceivers, detecting the presence of interference, and accordingly switching to available channels as allocated by its spectrum sensing capability. The focus of this paper is to propose an architecture for cognitive radio terminals that can be used to build rapidly deployable wireless network applications.
