Contents
We start with an introduction into algorithmic concepts used in Computer Science, with the emphasis of Graph algorithms. For this we discuss the problem of shortest paths and the solution provided by Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra. Then we solve the problem of minimum spanning trees and the maximum flow problem. For this problem we show the correspondence to the problem of minimum cut.
Then, we give an introduction into security problems. We discuss security objectives and security mechanisms. For this we introduce basic cryptographic algorithms and protocols. Using this we discuss the structure and inner workings of computer networks using the Internet as an example. We continue this discussion by transferring this knowledge to the area of smart grids.
Data Analysis and System Design are essential techniques we introduce in this lecture. Here, we need to model data, query and update data and react on data changes. It is necessary to model reality and construct appropriate messages for communication. For this we introduce Entity-Relationship Diagrams and Data Base Systems.
Furthermore, we give a comprehensive survey of the area of Energy Informatics and discuss the multi-agent system approach as a method for solving distributed optimization problems in the energy sector.
In addition we invite researchers in the field of Energy Informatics to present their current work.
