Introduction to the Domains Smart Grid and Active Assisted Living

Part of the SpringerBriefs in Energy book series (BRIEFSENERGY)

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview on the definition of complex systems and their use in various domains. Its focus is on the domains Smart Grid and Active Assisted Living as well as on the motivation for the standardisation in such domains. In addition, an introduction for domain-specific modelling is given to demonstrate the support through the standardisation.
