distributed processing

This study focuses on classifying serialization formats used in inter-service communication (ISC) within distributed systems and exploring their historical development. We have examined key features of humanreadable formats such as XML, JSON, and YAML, binary formats like Protocol Buffers and Apache Avro, and columnar formats such as Apache Parquet and ORC, among others. Our results have indicated a significant shift toward binary formats optimized for speed and compactness in recent years.

Smart grid systems and communication technologies, such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), have revolutionized utility service management and monitoring. AMI leverages smart meters equipped with advanced communication capabilities, facilitating bidirectional communication between utilities and consumers. The increasing deployment of smart meters and the adoption of sub-hourly data collection requirements by utility companies highlight significant data volume growth.
