In the era of Industry 4.0, ensuring the resilience of cyber-physical systems against sophisticated cyber threats is increasingly critical. This study proposes a pioneering AI-based control framework that enhances short-term voltage…
The widespread adoption of open-source software (OSS) necessitates the mitigation of vulnerability risks. Most vulnerability detection (VD) methods are limited by inadequate contextual understanding, restrictive single-round interactions,…
The resilience of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for electric power networks for certain cyber-attacks is considered. We analyze the vulnerability of the measurement system to false data attack on communicated…
The assessment of new vulnerabilities is an activity that accounts for information from several data sources and produces a `severity' score for the vulnerability. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (\CVSS) is the reference standard…
Multi-task learning is a paradigm that leverages information from related tasks to improve the performance of machine learning. Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) are comments in the code that indicate not-quite-right code introduced for…
The importance of mission or safety critical software systems in many application domains of embedded systems is continuously growing, and so is the effort and complexity for reliability and safety analysis. Model driven development is…
The rapid growth of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for civil and commercial missions has intensified concerns about their resilience to cyber-security threats. Operating within the emerging UAS Traffic Management (UTM) framework,…
Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetic RAM (STT-MRAM) is known as the most promising replacement for SRAM technology in large Last-Level Caches (LLCs). Despite its high-density, non-volatility, near-zero leakage power, and immunity to radiation as…
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are critical infrastructure that are not immune to both physical and cyber threats. Vehicles are cyber/physical systems which are a core component of ITS, can be either a target or a launching point…
The simulation of supersonic or hypersonic flows often suffers from numerical shock instabilities if the flow field contains strong shocks, limiting the further application of shock-capturing schemes. In this paper, we develop the unified…
Computer-based systems have been used to solve several domain problems, such as industrial, military, education, and wearable. Those systems need high-quality software to guarantee security and safety. We advocate that Bounded Model…
While perception systems in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), which encompass both communication technologies and advanced sensors, promise to significantly reduce human driving errors, they also expose CAVs to various cyberattacks.…
Attacks on software systems occur world-wide on a daily basis targeting individuals, corporations, and governments alike. The systems that facilitate maritime shipping are at risk of serious disruptions, and these disruptions can stem from…
From an operational and planning perspective, it is important to quantify the impact of increasing penetration of photovoltaics on the distribution system. Most existing impact assessment studies are scenario-based where derived results are…
We present a second iteration of a machine learning approach to static code analysis and fingerprinting for weaknesses related to security, software engineering, and others using the open-source MARF framework and the MARFCAT application…
Estimating the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of an application is an essential task in the context of developing real-time or safety-critical software, but it is also a complex and error-prone process. Conventional approaches require at…
CPUs provide isolation mechanisms like virtualization and privilege levels to protect software. Yet these focus on architectural isolation while typically overlooking microarchitectural side channels, exemplified by Meltdown and Foreshadow.…
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) tightly interconnect digital and physical operations within production environments, enabling real-time monitoring, control, optimization, and autonomous decision-making that directly enhance manufacturing…
In many real-world network environments, several types of cyberattacks occur at very low rates compared to benign traffic, making them difficult for intrusion detection systems (IDS) to detect reliably. This imbalance causes traditional…
In this work, we investigate how to make use of model reduction techniques to identify the vulnerability of a closed-loop system, consisting of a plant and a supervisor, that might invite attacks. Here, the system vulnerability refers to…
