Author(s)
Olivera Kotevska, Jordan Johnson, A. Gilad Kusne
Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based streaming applications are all around us. Currently, we are transitioning from IoT processing being performed on the cloud to the edge. While moving to the edge provides significant networking efficiency benefits, IoT edge

Integrating Multiple HLA Federations for Effective Simulation-Based Evaluations of CPS

June 28, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas Roth, Wenqi Guo, Chenli Wang, Himanshu Neema, Anirban Bhattacharjee
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex systems of computational, physical, and human components integrated to achieve some function over one or more networks. The use of distributed simulation, or co-simulation, is one method often used to analyze the

Consumer Perspectives on Loss of Support for Smart Home Devices

May 26, 2022
Author(s)
Julie Haney, Susanne M. Furman
Unsupported smart home devices can pose serious safety and security issues for consumers. However, unpatched and vulnerable devices may remain connected because consumers may not be alerted that their devices are no longer supported or do not understand

Specifying and Reasoning about CPS through the Lens of the NIST CPS Framework

March 3, 2022
Author(s)
Thanh Nguyen, Matthew Bundas, Tran Son, Marcello Balduccini, Kathleen Campbell Garwood, Edward Griffor
This paper introduces a formal definition of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) in the spirit of the CPS Framework proposed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It shows that using this definition, various problems related to concerns
