Now a day’s Mobile devices were rapidly growing as indispensable part in our daily life, facilitating to do various useful tasks. Mobile cloud computing combines mobile with cloud computing to enlarge their capabilities, benefits and reduces their limitations, like battery life less memory and CPU power. Big data analyzing technologies facilitate extracting value from data consisting four Vs: v...

“Resilience” describes how systems operate at an acceptable level of normalcy despite disturbances or threats. In this paper we first consider the interdependencies inherent in critical infrastructure systems and how resilience mitigates associated risks and then define “resilience” in distinction from convention control engineering. We then introduce the concepts “agent” and “multi-agent syste...

Title of dissertation: CONTROL OF NETWORKED ROBOTIC SYSTEMS Yen-Chen Liu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Nikhil Chopra Department of Mechanical Engineering and Institute for Systems Research With the infrastructure of ubiquitous networks around the world, the study of robotic systems over communication networks has attracted widespread attention. This area is den...

There has been a growing interest in decision and game theoretic approaches to networked system security as evidenced by the increasing number of publications and conferences such as the Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec). This presentation aims to give an overview on security games and their applications to network and critical infrastructure security based on the re...

1.1 INTRODUCTION Recent advances in computer networks and information technology (IT) and the advent and growth of the Internet have created unprecedented levels of opportunities for the connectivity and interaction of information systems at a global level. This has provided significant new possibilities for advancing knowledge and societal interactions across the spectrum of human endeavors , ...

Mobile computing devices together with an ever growing land-based and wireless communication network infrastructure are the existing technical prerequisites for continuous access to networked services. This relieves users from being bound to their desktop computers and lets them spread out into the world. But using the diierent mobile facilities often requires a lot of special concern and there...

Traditional networked file systems like NFS do not extend to wide-area due to network latency and dynamics introduced in the WAN environment. In this paper we proposed the design of a wide-area networked system called WireFS. WireFS is based on NFS and extends to the WAN environment by introducing a file redirector infrastructure residing between the central file server and clients. The file re...

The mobile networked systems (4G and upcoming 5G) are at a critical stage of the technology revolution. Despite offering working solutions for billions of users, they are complex and closed: The infrastructure lacks guarantees for the correct designs and operations, while the mobile client lacks the insights of the ”black-box” network behaviors. Both fundamentally limit our understanding of why...

utility computing, reachability, security modelling, object oriented logical models, security properties, risk analysis In this paper we consider how logic-based object modelling techniques may be used to help Utility Providers and their customers obtain insight concerning the security characteristics of utility infrastructure and networked systems. We briefly describe two modelling tool protot...
