Sensor-Actor Networks (SANETS) is adaptable for surgical simulation contexts, to illustrate how the Elastic Network Model can be used for laparoscopic endeffector navigation through vital organs and other obstacles. The active modeling of agents as interactive components of a unified laparoscopic simulator seeks to emulate the medical environment as a virtual representation in the coordinated SANET infrastructure. The combination of SANET middleware framework paradigms towards a surgical knowledge-based conception demonstrates how SANETS can help to enhance medical education. The hybrid architecture of the training equipment enables the adaptation of elastic modeling techniques for effective advances in laparoscopic training exercises.

Abstract. Smart grids are being deployed at global level to ensure energy efficiency. As a result, scalable smart software platforms are required which can be used to incorporate and integrate information coming from various consumers using smart meters. Smart grids are supported by smart software architectures which are supported by cloud platforms. Cloud and Internet-of-Things (IoT) platforms provide scalable resources which can be used to design software infrastructures which allow always-on applications. The report paper explores smart grid and energy efficiency, how cloud and IoT platforms are used to enhance smart software architecture for smart grids, and privacy and security issues that result from the use of clouds.
