Societies' norms of operation relies on the proper and secure functioning of several critical infrastructures, particularly modern power grid which is also known as smart grid. Smart grid is interwoven with the information and communication…

Cooperative collision avoidance between robots, or `agents,' in swarm operations remains an open challenge. Assuming a decentralized architecture, each agent is responsible for making its own decisions and choosing its control actions. Most…

Rule-based cloud security posture management (CSPM) solutions are known to produce a lot of false positives based on the limited contextual understanding and dependence on static heuristics testing. This paper introduces a validation-driven…

Active security is mainly concerned with performing one or more security functions when a host in a communication network is subject to an attack. Such security functions include appropriate actions against attackers. To properly afford…

In this paper, we investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models.…

The delivery of key services in domains ranging from finance and manufacturing to healthcare and transportation is underpinned by a rapidly growing number of mission-critical enterprise applications. Ensuring the continuity of these complex…

Cybersecurity is a relentless arms race, with AI driven offensive systems evolving faster than traditional defenses can adapt. Research and tooling remain fragmented across isolated defensive functions, creating blind spots that adversaries…

We undertake a comprehensive and structured synthesis of the drivers of human behavior in cybersecurity, focusing specifically on people within organizations (i.e., especially employees in companies), and integrate key concepts such as…

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is an emerging paradigm that pushes resources for sensing, communications, computing, storage and intelligence (SCCSI) to the premises closer to the end users, i.e., the edge, so that they could leverage…

In large databases, creating user interface for browsing or performing insertion, deletion or modification of data is very costly in terms of programming. In addition, each modification of an access control policy causes many potential and…

Human-computer interaction (HCI) studies the design and use of interfaces and interactive systems. HCI has been adopted successfully in modern commercial products. Recently, its use for promoting social good and pursuing sustainability,…

There is widespread agreement that cloud computing have proven cost cutting and agility benefits. However, security and regulatory compliance issues are continuing to challenge the wide acceptance of such technology both from social and…

Machine-type communication services in mobile cel- lular systems are currently evolving with an aim to efficiently address a massive-scale user access to the system. One of the key problems in this respect is to efficiently identify active…

Ingestive behavior plays a critical role in health, yet many existing interventions remain limited to static guidance or manual self-tracking. With the increasing integration of sensors, context-aware computing, and perceptual computing,…

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) encompassing resources for process automation are subjected to a wide variety of security threats. The threat landscape is arising due to increased adoption of Commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) products as well…

This paper presents a novel, safe control architecture (SCA) for controlling an important class of systems: safety-critical systems. Ensuring the safety of control decisions has always been a challenge in automatic control. The proposed SCA…

This report introduces the concept of "Highly Autonomous Cyber-Capable Agents" (HACCAs), AI systems capable of autonomously conducting multi-stage cyber campaigns at a level comparable to today's top criminal hacking groups or…

With the emergence of new methodologies and technologies it has now become possible to manage large amounts of environmental sensing data and apply new integrated computing models to acquire information intelligence. This paper advocates…

Adaptive-Cruise Control (ACC) automatically accelerates or decelerates a vehicle to maintain a selected time gap, to reach a desired velocity, or to prevent a rear-end collision. To this end, the ACC sensors detect and track the vehicle…

Enterprise networks are growing ever larger with a rapidly expanding attack surface, increasing the volume of security alerts generated from security controls. Security Operations Centre (SOC) analysts triage these alerts to identify…
