Machine learning (ML) is increasingly applied across industries to automate decision-making, but concerns about ethical and legal compliance remain due to limited transparency, fairness, and accountability. Monitoring through logging a…
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are often built from geographically distributed components and often use programmable logic controllers for localized processes. Since verification of such systems is challenging because of both time…
We present a case study on the strategic planning of a security operations center in a typical, modern, mid-size organization. Against the backdrop of the company's multi-cloud strategy a distributed approach envisioning the involvement of…
Cloud computing services provide scalable and cost-effective solutions for data storage, processing, and collaboration. With their growing popularity, concerns about security vulnerabilities are increasing. To address this, first, we…
The IS discourse on the potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the financial services has grown at a tremendous pace in recent years. Yet, little has been said about the related implications for the costly and highly regulated…
This paper presents an algorithmic framework for the distributed on-line source seeking, termed as 'DoSS', with a multi-robot system in an unknown dynamical environment. Our algorithm, building on a novel concept called dummy confidence…
Internet-enabled things and devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in modern distributed systems, supporting functionalities that require assurances that certain critical requirements are satisfied by the…
We argue that the phenomena of distributed responsibility, induced acceptance, and acceptance through ignorance constitute instances of imperfect delegation when tasks are delegated to computationally-driven systems. Imperfect delegation…
Software is a great enabler for a number of projects that otherwise would be impossible to perform. Such projects include Space Exploration, Weather Modeling, Genome Projects, and many others. It is critical that software aiding these…
Distributed Systems involve two or more computer systems which may be situated at geographically distinct locations and are connected by a communication network. Due to failures in the communication link, faults arise which may make the…
Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is the communications protocol currently being rolled out as part of next generation air transportation systems. As the heart of modern air traffic control, it will play an essential role…
Cloud computing has been envisioned as the next generation architecture of IT Enterprise. Using Cloud Storage,users can remotely store their data and enjoy the on demand high quality applications and services from a shared pool of…
Ensuring data correctness over partitioned distributed database systems is a classical problem. Classical solutions proposed to solve this problem are mainly adopting locking or blocking techniques. These techniques are not suitable for…
Designing software compatible with cloud-based Microservice Architectures (MSAs) is vital due to the performance, scalability, and availability limitations. As the complexity of a system increases, it is subject to deprecation, difficulties…
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aims to alert users of incoming attacks by deploying a detector that monitors network traffic continuously. As an effort to increase detection capabilities, a set of independent IDS detectors typically…
Integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or "drones" into the civil aviation airspace is a problem of increasing interest in the aviation community, as testified by many initiatives developed worldwide. Many traditional surveillance…
Cloud computing environments are increasingly vulnerable to security threats such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and SQL injection. Traditional security mechanisms, based on rule matching and feature recognition, struggle…
Modern data management systems often need to deal with massive, dynamic and inherently distributed data sources. We collect the data using a distributed network, and at the same time try to maintain a global view of the data at a central…
Cloud computing represents a significant economic opportunity for Europe. However, this growth is threatened by adoption barriers largely related to trust. This position paper examines trust and confidence issues in cloud computing and…
Distributed denial of service attacks represents one of the most important threats to cloud-providers. Over the years, volumetric DDoS attacks have become increasingly important and complex. Due to the rapid adaptation of attackers to the…
