Management is a complex task in today's heterogeneous and large scale networks like Cloud, IoT, vehicular and MPLS networks. Likewise, researchers and developers envision the use of artificial intelligence techniques to create cognitive and…
Manufacturing of products, nowadays, due to the advances in Information Technologies (IT) that turn products into smart devices, and the evolution in device connectivity, becomes increasingly complex. Connected product networks (CPN) and…
Interoperation for data sharing between permissioned blockchain networks relies on networks' abilities to independently authenticate requests and validate proofs accompanying the data; these typically contain digital signatures. This…
Mixed-Criticality (MC) systems have recently been devised to address the requirements of real-time systems in industrial applications, where the system runs tasks with different criticality levels on a single platform. In some workloads, a…
Due to increasing digitalization, formerly isolated industrial networks, e.g., for factory and process automation, move closer and closer to the Internet, mandating secure communication. However, securely setting up OPC UA, the prime…
This paper proposes a scalable and resilient real-time multi-party communication architecture for the delivery of mixed media streams, for which content centric networking, with its intelligent network layer, is chosen for implementation to…
Due to the great development of secure multi-party computation, many practical secure computation schemes have been proposed. As an example, different secure auction mechanisms have been widely studied, which can protect bid privacy while…
Cybersecurity decision-making increasingly occurs in environments characterized by uncertainty, partial observability, and adversarial manipulation, where heterogeneous signals from multiple sources are often incomplete, ambiguous, or…
We propose the Automata-based Multiparty Protocols framework (AMP) for top-down protocol development. The framework features a new very general formalism for global protocol specifications called Protocol State Machines (PSMs),…
Multiparty session types are designed to abstractly capture the structure of communication protocols and verify behavioural properties. One important such property is progress, i.e., the absence of deadlock. Distributed algorithms often…
We develop a model of coordination and allocation of decentralized multi-sided markets, in which our theoretical analysis is promisingly optimizing the decentralized transaction packaging process at high-throughput blockchains or Web 3.0…
In this tutorial, we present an authorization model for distributed systems that operate with limited internet connectivity. Reliable internet access remains a luxury for a majority of the world's population. Even for those who can afford…
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate sensing, computing, communication and actuation capabilities to monitor and control operations in the physical environment. A key requirement of such systems is the need to provide predictable…
For mixed-initiative control between cyber-physical systems (CPS) and its users, it is still an open question how machines can safely hand over control to humans. In this work, we propose a concept to provide technological support that uses…
Real-time embedded platforms with resource constraints can take the benefits of mixed-criticality system where applications with different criticality-level share computational resources, with isolation in the temporal and spatial domain. A…
Technology advances in areas such as sensors, IoT, and robotics, enable new collaborative applications (e.g., autonomous devices). A primary requirement for such collaborations is to have a secure system which enables information sharing…
Access control is a security mechanism designed to ensure that only authorized users can access specific resources. Cross-domain access control involves access to resources across different organizations, institutions, or applications.…
Kubernetes, an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, is widely used for its efficiency and scalability. However, its complexity and extensive configuration options often…
In distributed model predictive control (DMPC), where a centralized optimization problem is solved in distributed fashion using dual decomposition, it is important to keep the number of iterations in the solution algorithm, i.e. the amount…
Two-sided manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) marketplaces connect clients requesting manufacturing services to suppliers providing those services. Matching mechanisms i.e. allocation of clients' orders to suppliers is a key design parameter…
