Business analytics processes are often composed from orchestrated, collaborating services, which are consumed by users from multiple cloud systems (in different security realms), which need to be engaged dynamically at runtime. If…
Along with the classical problem of managing multiple identities, actions, devices, APIs etc. in different businesses, there has been an escalating need for having the capability of flexible attribute based access control~(ABAC) mechanisms.…
The rise of the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems has introduced new challenges on ensuring secure and robust communication. The growing number of connected devices increases network complexity, leading to higher latency and…
This paper studies how to design a platform to optimally control constrained multi-agent systems with a single coordinator and multiple strategic agents. In our setting, the agents cannot apply control inputs and only the coordinator…
The adoption of high-performance multi-core platforms in avionics and automotive systems introduces significant challenges in ensuring predictable execution, primarily due to shared resource interferences. Many existing approaches study…
The Microservices Architecture (MSA) design pattern has become a staple for modern applications, allowing functionalities to be divided across fine-grained microservices, fostering reusability, distribution, and interoperability. As…
Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) is a secure and robust blockchain (BC) platform that supports high-throughput and low-latency transactions. However, it encounters challenges in managing conflicting transactions that negatively affect throughput…
Federated computing (FC) enables collaborative computation such as machine learning, analytics, or data processing across distributed organizations keeping raw data local. Built on four architectural pillars, distributed data assets,…
This work aims to provide a more secure access control in Hyperledger Fabric blockchain by combining multiple ID's, attributes, and policies with the components that regulate access control. The access control system currently used by…
Cloud manufacturing system is a service-oriented and knowledge-based one, which can provide solutions for the large-scale customized production. The service resource allocation is the primary factor that restricts the production time and…
This paper studies the consensus problem of general linear discrete-time multi-agent systems (MAS) with input constraints and bounded time-varying communication delays. We propose a robust distributed model predictive control (DMPC)…
Partially Controlled Multi-Agent Systems (PCMAS) are comprised of controllable agents, managed by a system designer, and uncontrollable agents, operating autonomously. This study addresses an optimal composition design problem in PCMAS,…
The state-of-the-art approach to manage blockchains is to process blocks of transactions in a shared-nothing environment. Although blockchains have the potential to provide various services for high-performance computing (HPC) systems, HPC…
The purpose of a consensus protocol is to keep a distributed network of nodes "in sync," even in the presence of an unpredictable communication network and adversarial behavior by some of the participating nodes. In the permissionless…
Blockchains and distributed ledger technologies allow the operation of manifold decentralised applications (dApps). Such applications are based on smart contracts, a programmable abstraction that is executed in a decentralised manner. To…
Decentralized planning is a key element of cooperative multi-agent systems for information gathering tasks. However, despite the high frequency of agent failures in realistic large deployment scenarios, current approaches perform poorly in…
The Distributed Messaging Systems (DMSs) used in IoT systems require timely and reliable data dissemination, which can be achieved through configurable parameters. However, the high-dimensional configuration space makes it difficult for…
Federated Learning and Analytics (FLA) have seen widespread adoption by technology platforms for processing sensitive on-device data. However, basic FLA systems have privacy limitations: they do not necessarily require anonymization…
Using blockchain as a decentralized backend infrastructure has grabbed the attention of many startups entrepreneurs and developers. Blockchain records transactions permanently and protects them from undesirable tampering. It provides a…
Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have evolved from text generators into the cognitive core of modern AI systems, their inherent lack of authorization awareness exposes these systems to catastrophic risks, ranging from unintentional…
