The goal of this paper is to provide a holistic overview and identify challenges of reliability modeling in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Cyber-physical systems are complex systems that incorporate three paradigms of different natures: hardware, software and humans. Each of the paradigms raises its specific challenges and instills its own types of faults and failures that occur following their specific...
Worldwide, buildings account for ca. 40% of the total energy consumption and ca. 20% of the total CO2 emissions. While most of the energy goes into primary building use, a significant amount of energy is wasted due to malfunctioning building system equipment and wrongly configured Building Management Systems (BMS). For example, wrongly configured setpoints or building equipment, or misplaced sensors...
With the recent advances in aircraft technologies, software, sensors, and communications; unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can offer a wide range of applications. UAVs can play important roles in different applications such as search and rescue, situation awareness in natural disasters, environmental monitoring, and perimeter surveillance. This paper discusses the challenges of developing UAV applications...
This paper discusses the applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in smart cities, their opportunities and their challenges. UAVs have a wide range of applications in many fields like environmental hazards monitoring, traffic management and pollution monitoring, all of which contributes greatly to the development of any smart city. These opportunities among several others are discussed in this...
