Generator remote controlling using internet connection
The traditional technique of monitoring the electricity generated through regular checks on the alternator variables: oil, temperature, voltage and current on a daily basis. Therefore, maintaining a normal performance cycle requires hard work and is often imprecise. The idea is to create an application that monitors wireless generators using the popular smartphone Android operating system. Implemented sensors deliver analog signals that provide real-time data on the status of the generator. This data is converted and programmed through the Node MCU microcontroller, which reads the results from the sensors and then converts into a signal, which is transmitted to the android phone, through a router. Thus live feedback of the generator status is ensured. In addition, this project provides a control button that can actually turn this generator on and off. This project is the first step towards bringing systems and control together as it revolutionizes the ideology of monitoring and displaying real-time data that can be implemented in different fields according to different needs. These fields include electricity, mechanics, and communications.

Distributed and Parallel Systems : Cluster and Grid Computing
DAPSY (Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems) is an international conference series with biannual events dedicated to all aspects of distributed and parallel computing. DAPSY started under a different name in 1992 (Sopron, Hungary) as regional meeting of Austrian and Hungarian researchers focusing on transputer-related parallel computing; a hot research topic of that time. A second workshop followed in 1994 (Budapest, Hungary). As transputers became history, the scope of the workshop widened to include parallel and distributed systems in general and the 1st DAPSYS in 1996 (Miskolc, Hungary) reflected the results of these changes.
Distributed and parallel computing ; 6th International conference on algorithms and architectures for parallel processing, ICA3PP, Melbourne, Australia, October 2-3, 2005, Proceedings
There are many applications that require parallel and distributed processing to allow complicated engineering, business and research problems to be solved in a reasonable time. Parallel and distributed processing is able to improve company profit, lower costs of design, production, and deployment of new technologies, and create better business environments. The major lesson learned by car and aircraft engineers, drug manufacturers, genome researchers and other specialist is that a computer system is a very powerful tool that is able to help them solving even more complicated problems. That has led computing specialists to new computer system architecture and exploiting parallel computers, clusters of clusters, and distributed systems in the form of grids.
