Recently, a camera or an image sensor receiver based optical wireless communications (OWC) techniques have attracted particular interest in areas such as the internet of things, indoor localization, motion capture, and intelligent…
Effectiveness of information security of automated process control systems, as well as of SCADA, depends on data transmissions protection technologies applied on transport environments components. This article investigates the problem of…
Presence of a logically centralized controller in software-defined networks enables smart and fine-grained management of network traffic. Generally, traffic management includes measurement, analysis and control of traffic in order to…
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) serves as the primary routing protocol for the Internet, enabling Autonomous Systems (individual network operators) to exchange network reachability information. Alongside significant on-going research and…
A Software Reference Architecture (SRA) is a useful tool for standardising existing architectures in a specific domain and facilitating concrete architecture design, development and evaluation by instantiating SRA and using SRA as a…
Modern robotics often involves the use of web technologies as a means to cope with the complexity of design and operation. Many of these technologies have been formalized into standards, which are often avoided by those in robotics and…
Industrial deployments increasingly rely on Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) as a secure and platform-independent communication protocol, while private Fifth Generation (5G) networks provide low-latency and…
Power system communication networks enable operators to remotely monitor and control field equipment. The sophistication of these networks is also increasing as operators continue the trend towards digitization, which is beneficial in…
This paper is based on the initial ideas of a PhD proposal which will investigate SCADA failures in physical infrastructure systems. The results will be used to develop a new notation to help risk assessment using dependable computing…
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a popular authorization model used to manage data-access constraints in a wide range of systems. RBAC usually defines the static view on the access rights. However, to ensure dependability of a system, it…
With the increasing reliance of smart grids on correctly functioning SCADA systems and their vulnerability to cyberattacks, there is a pressing need for effective security measures. SCADA systems are prone to cyberattacks, posing risks to…
The STCP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a candidate for a new transport layer protocol that may replace the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocols in future IP networks. Currently, the…
We report on the software engineering design and implementation of an web- and LDAP-based secure file exchange system with bi-directional authentication of all parties involved in the process that is the user's browsers and the application…
Space has been reforming and this evolution brings new threats that, together with technological developments and malicious intent, can pose a major challenge. Space domain awareness (SDA), a new conceptual idea, has come to the forefront.…
Quantum programming techniques and software have advanced significantly over the past five years, with a majority focusing on high-level language frameworks targeting remote REST library APIs. As quantum computing architectures advance and…
Data collection is a key component of an information system. The widespread penetration of ICT tools in organizations and institutions has resulted in a shift in the way the data is collected. Data may be collected in printed-form, by…
Existing disaggregated databases separate execution and storage layers, enabling independent and elastic scaling of resources. In most cases, this design makes transaction concurrency control (CC) a critical bottleneck, which demands…
This paper proposes a new protocol called Optimal DCF (O-DCF). Inspired by a sequence of analytic results, O-DCF modifies the rule of adapting CSMA parameters, such as backoff time and transmission length, based on a function of the…
There is no denying that spreadsheets have become critical for all operational processes including financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis. Microsoft Excel has essentially become a scratch pad and a data browser that can…
gRPC is at the heart of modern distributed system architectures. Based on HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers, it provides highly performant, standardized, and polyglot communication across loosely coupled microservices and is increasingly…
