During the development and expansion of Internet of Things (IoT), main challenges needing to be addressed are the heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, flexibility and security of IoT applications. In this paper, we view IoT as a large-scale distributed cyber-physical-social complex network. From that perspective, the above challenges are analyzed. Then, we propose a distributed multi-agent...
Devices compliant with Internet of Things concept are currently getting increased interest amongst users and numerous manufacturers. Our idea is to introduce intelligent household control system respecting this trend. Primary focus of this work is to propose a new solution of intelligent house actuators realization, which is less expensive, more robust and more secure against intrusion. The hearth...
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are systems in which software and hardware entities monitor and manage physical devices using communication channels. They have become ubiquitous in many domains including health monitoring, smart vehicles and energy efficiency as in smart buildings and smart grid operations. The introduction of a digital control system and a communication channel, to exchange data with...
Wireless networked control systems have gained significant popularity due to commissioning and maintenance ease. Currently there are various wireless communication protocols available to accomplish the control networks. Recently, IEEE 802.15.4e protocol for low latency deterministic network has been introduced that shows prominent theoretical characteristics under effective frequency planning to minimize...
Most of the environments where mobile robots are deployed offer a comprehensive networking infrastructure. In order to take part of these environments, mobile robots must enhance not only their communication capabilities, but also their interaction capabilities. Current robotic frameworks are oriented to gather data from the robotic sensors and to act on the robot's actuators. In other words, such...
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems control and monitor industrial and critical infrastructure functions, such as the electricity, gas, water, waste, railway and traffic. Recent attacks on SCADA systems highlight the need of a SCADA security testbed, which can be used to model real SCADA systems and study the effects of attacks on them. We propose the architecture of a modular...
Cyber-physical energy systems require the integration of a heterogeneous physical layers and decision control networks, mediated by decentralized and distributed local sensing/actuation structures backed by an information layer. With the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) [1] requirements and president's visions of more secure, reliable...
