This paper shows how advanced utility meters could help people cut their energy bills. Basically, the idea is simple, smart metering lets the people see how much power their home is consuming and eventually encourage them to use less energy. As well as having more informative displays, which might be separate from the actual meter and located somewhere more prominent, smart meters usually incorporate a remote reading facility - putting an end to house calls and estimated bills. The key distinction between smart-meter types is determined by their communication, that is, whether there is any with the energy supplier, whether this is one-way or two-way and the data-storage capability of the meter. The combination of these features determines the extent to which the metering system can help customers reduce their energy usage. - Author(s): W. Dennis

Poorly maintained aircraft and frequent accidents have thrown the spotlight on safety standards in Indonesia's airline industry, which is riding on a surge in domestic travel. This paper discusses the necessary steps on how to prevent such incidents. The recent accidents and air disasters have prompted the Indonesian government to introduce new regulations in a bid to step up flight safety and maintenance of aircraft. In the event of an accident due to failure to comply with safety or maintenance requirements which results in injury or loss of lives, the head of the airline concerned will be prosecuted and the air operating certificate revoked. - Author(s): C.

This paper presents the application of tiny, high-performance computers to create a new generation of much more agile unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs have come a long way since the tethered balloons of the second world war. Modern versions can have as much surveillance power as a Lockheed Martin U-2 spy plane, or be small enough to fly into a room. - Author(s): C. Edwards
