Building Management Systems (BMSs) have evolved in recent years, in ways that require changes to existing network architectures that follow the store-then-analyse approach. The primary cause is the increasing deployment of a diverse range…
Past work on evacuation planning assumes that evacuees will follow instructions -- however, there is ample evidence that this is not the case. While some people will follow instructions, others will follow their own desires. In this paper,…
Network Control Systems (NAC) have been used in many industrial processes. They aim to reduce the human factor burden and efficiently handle the complex process and communication of those systems. Supervisory control and data acquisition…
Buildings play a crucial role in human well-being, influencing occupant comfort, health, and safety. Additionally, they contribute significantly to global energy consumption, accounting for one-third of total energy usage, and carbon…
Operation technology networks, i.e. hard- and software used for monitoring and controlling physical/industrial processes, have been considered immune to cyber attacks for a long time. A recent increase of attacks in these networks proves…
Broken Access Control (BAC) violations, which consistently rank among the top five security risks in the OWASP API Security Top 10, refer to unauthorized access attempts arising from BAC vulnerabilities, whose successful exploitation can…
The pervasive deployment of surveillance cameras produces a massive volume of data, requiring nuanced interpretation. This study thoroughly examines data representation and visualization techniques tailored for AI surveillance data within…
In recent years, the building sector has experienced an increasing legislative pressure to reduce the energy consumption. This has created a global need for affordable building management systems (BMS) in areas such as lighting-,…
Cloud systems are becoming increasingly powerful and complex. It is highly challenging to identify anomalous execution behaviors and pinpoint problems by examining the overwhelming intermediate results/states in complex application…
KNX is one popular communication protocol for a building automation system (BAS). However, its lack of security makes it subject to a variety of attacks. We are the first to study the false data injection attack against a KNX based BAS. We…
In recent years, several companies and researchers have started to tackle the problem of damage recognition within the scope of automated inspection of built structures. While companies are neither willing to publish associated data nor…
Because of the threat of advanced multi-step attacks, it is often difficult for security operators to completely cover all vulnerabilities when deploying remediations. Deploying sensors to monitor attacks exploiting residual vulnerabilities…
While attack graphs are useful for identifying major cybersecurity threats affecting a system, they do not provide operational support for determining the likelihood of having a known vulnerability exploited, or that critical system nodes…
The optimization of water distribution systems (WDSs) is vital to minimize energy costs required for their operations. A principal approach taken by researchers is identifying an optimal scheme for water pump controls through examining…
As smart buildings move towards open communication technologies, providing access to the Building Automation System (BAS) through the intranet, or even remotely through the Internet, has become a common practice. However, BAS was…
Context awareness is an essential part of mobile and ubiquitous computing. Its goal is to unveil situational information about mobile users like locations and activities. The sensed context can enable many services like navigation, AR, and…
IT-security experts engage in behavior-based malware analysis in order to learn about previously unknown samples of malicious software (malware) or malware families. For this, they need to find and categorize suspicious patterns from large…
Current networks are increasingly growing in size and complexity and so is the amount of monitoring data that they produce. As a result, network monitoring systems have to scale accordingly. As a possible approach, horizontal scalability…
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has attracted considerable attention across various fields and artificial intelligence (AI) technology plays an important role in DAS applications to realize event recognition and denoising. Existing AI…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a recent construction process based on a 3D model, containing every component related to the building achievement. Architects, structure engineers, method engineers, and others participant to the…
