The IoT is innovative and important phenomenon prone to several services and applications such as the blockchain which an emerging phenomenon. We can describe the blockchain as blockchain as a service because of the opportunity to use several applications based on this technology. We, indeed, should take into account the legal issues related to the…

Cloud computing has become a compelling paradigm built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. The current virtualization solution in the Cloud widely relies on hypervisor-based technologies. Given the recent booming of the container ecosystem, the container-based virtualization starts receiving more attention for being a promising alternative. Although the container technologies are generally considered to be…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…

In this modern age, information technology (IT) plays a role in a number of different fields. And therefore, the role of security is very important to control and assist the flow of activities over the network. Intrusion detection (ID) is a kind of security management system for computers and networks. There are many approaches and…

Detect and tracking of moving weak targets is a complicated dynamic state estimation problem whose difficulty is increased in case of high clutter conditions or low signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this case, the track-before-detect filter (TBDF) that uses unthresholded measurements considers as an effective method for detecting and tracking a single target under…

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is considered as a key cryptographic tool in building a secure cloud computing environment since it allows computing arbitrary functions directly on encrypted data. However, existing FHE implementations remain impractical due to very high time and resource costs. These costs are essentially due to the computationally intensive modular polynomial multiplication. In…

Engineering schools must adopt or develop their own systems and processes for graduate attribute assessment. In this paper, we take a systems engineering approach to graduate attribute assessment and propose a system architecture and tool-supported continuous improvement process with key algorithms and mathematical analysis to process the data and provide performance management reporting. Over several…

The occurrence of many failures in the power system can lead to power instability and affects the system parameters to go beyond its operating limits. It may lead to obstructing the secure operations and reliability of power systems. Ensuring power system security needs proper actions to be taken for the undesirable contingency. Thus, security analysis…

In this paper, we investigate the decentralized control problem for largescale interconnected systems.

Our main contribution is to develop a new decentralized stabilization approach which the decentralized local gains…

One of the prominent challenges of the automotive-transportation system is represented by the integration of security and safety properties within protocols, applications and connectivity mechanisms. A joint safety/security design can sometimes expose to trade-offs, since their requirements may not match perfectly or even be incompatible. This paper analyses an example of security and safety design,…

This paper deals with the design of adaptive observer for a class of nonlinear systems with time delays.
