Cities are changing constantly. All urban systems face different conditions from day to day. Even when averaged regularities can be found, urban systems will be more efficient if they can adapt to changes at the same temporal scales at…
Engineering safe and secure cyber-physical systems requires system engineers to develop and maintain a number of model views, both dynamic and static, which can be seen as algebras. We posit that verifying the composition of requirement,…
As systems like smart grid continue to become complex on a daily basis, emerging issues demand complex solutions that can deal with parameters in multiple domains of engineering. The complex solutions further demand a friendly interface for…
Our society is digital: industry, science, governance, and individuals depend, often transparently, on the inter-operation of large numbers of distributed computer systems. Although the society takes them almost for granted, these computer…
Cyber insurance is a complementary mechanism to further reduce the financial impact on the systems after their effort in defending against cyber attacks and implementing resilience mechanism to maintain the system-level operator even though…
Resilience in cyber-physical systems of systems (CPSoS) is often assessed using static indices or point-in-time metrics that do not adequately account for the temporal evolution of risk following a disruption. This paper formalizes…
Latest and current innovations of agricultural tech industry are increasingly driven by digital technologies. These digital farming solutions provide attractive advantages for farmers. The trend is going to devices and sensors, which send…
Understanding the fundamental relationships between physics and its information-processing capability has been an active research topic for many years. Physical reservoir computing is a recently introduced framework that allows one to…
Most research on formal system design has focused on optimizing various measures of efficiency. However, insufficient attention has been given to the design of systems optimizing resilience, the ability of systems to adapt to unexpected…
Modern security, infrastructure, and safety-critical systems increasingly operate in environments characterised by disruption, uncertainty, physical damage, and degraded communications. Conventional digital technologies -- centralised…
We present a first of its kind framework which overcomes a major challenge in the design of digital systems that are resilient to reliability failures: achieve desired resilience targets at minimal costs (energy, power, execution time,…
Future energy systems are subject to various uncertain influences. As resilient systems they should maintain a constantly high operational performance whatever happens. We explore different levels and time scales of decision making in…
As artificial intelligence continues to advance and becomes more integrated into sensitive areas like healthcare, education, and everyday life, it's crucial for these systems to be both resilient and robust. This paper shows how resilience…
Collectives form non-equilibrium social structures characterised by a volatile dynamics. Individuals join or leave. Social relations change quickly. Therefore, differently from engineered or ecological systems, a resilient reference state…
Many systems on our planet are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across a "tipping point," such as mass extinctions in ecological networks, cascading failures in infrastructure systems,…
Robustness, the ability of a system to maintain performance under significant and unanticipated environmental changes, is a critical property for robotic systems. While biological systems naturally exhibit robustness, there is no…
The persistently growing resilience concerns of large-scale computing systems today require not only generic fault tolerance approaches, but also application-level resilience, due to demanding efficiency and various domain-specific…
Industrial Internet of Things is an ultra-large-scale system that is much more sophisticated and fragile than conventional industrial platforms. The effective management of such a system relies heavily on the resilience of the network,…
Several sources of uncertainty have to be taken into account in the analysis and design of CPS. The set of parameters used in the model of the physical plant of a CPS may be uncertain due, for example, to manufacturing processes that are…
Digital embedded systems in safety-critical cyber-physical-systems (CPSs) require high levels of resilience and robustness against different fault classes. In recent years, self-healing concepts based on biological physiology have received…
