In the digital age, individuals increasingly maintain active presences across multiple platforms ranging from social media and messaging applications to professional and communication tools. However, the current model for managing user…
The Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is considered to be the next generation of intelligent industrial automation systems that integrate computing, communication and control technologies. In CPS, the interoperability requirements between devices…
The robustness of distributed systems is usually phrased in terms of the number of failures of certain types that they can withstand. However, these failure models are too crude to describe the different kinds of trust and expectations of…
The mobile application market is rapidly growing and changing, offering always brand new software to install in increasingly powerful devices. Mobile devices become pervasive and more heterogeneous, embedding latest technologies such as…
Enforcing security requirements in networked information systems relies on security controls to mitigate the risks from increasingly dangerous threats. Configuring security controls is challenging; even nowadays, administrators must perform…
Operating systems provide an abstraction layer between the hardware and higher-level software. Many abstractions, such as threads, processes, containers, and virtual machines, are mechanisms to provide isolation. New application scenarios…
Communication between sensors, actors and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in industrial systems moves from two-wire field buses to IP-based protocols such as Modbus/TCP. This increases the attack surface because the IP-based network…
Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) are complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) that integrate computation, communication, and control in safety-critical environments. At their core, System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms consolidate…
Existing processes and methods for incident handling are geared towards infrastructures and operational models that will be increasingly outdated by cloud computing. Research has shown that to adapt incident handling to cloud computing…
The concept of Industry 4.0 is a newly emerging focus of research throughout the world. However, it has lots of challenges to control data, and it can be addressed with various technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data,…
