Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) typically consist of a wide set integrated, heterogeneous components; consequently, most their critical failures relate to the interoperability such components. Unfortunately, CPS test automation techniques are preliminary and industry still heavily relies on manual testing. With potentially incomplete, manually-generated suites, it is paramount importance assess q...

In this paper, the design of a PID type stabilizer is investigated using Genetic algorithms. The proposed stabilizer is applied to a single machine infinite bus system subjected to a load disturbance. Comparison with Conventional lead-lag Power System Stabilizer (CPSS) and other design methods of PID stabilizers shows the out performance of the proposed design. Furthermore, the proposed stabili...

Ictal speech manifestations with or without loss of consciousness can frequently occur in TLE in which sometimes the patient may remain responsive, even in conjunction with automatisms. Foreign language ictal speech automatism (FLISA) is a rare ictal sign in temporal lobe epilepsy arising from the non-dominant hemisphere. While our literature review revealed no report of CPSs with two foreign l...

Background: Chronic Pain following Spinal Surgery (CPSS), formerly known as Failed Back Syndrome, is characterised by persistent or recurring back pain leg occurring beyond three months post spinal surgery (TLIF/PLIF) CPSS patients experience significant functional disability and report a lower quality of life compared to individuals with other chronic conditions. The objective this study compa...

Recent technological developments in the construction industry are seeking to create smart cities by using Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) enhance information models such as BIM. Currently, BIM commonly adopted work with IoT-based systems and embrace technologies that offer interoperability communication layer. In future, it is envisioned digital twins will provide new possibilities for cyber-phy...

As an analytical tool in cyber-security, attack graph (AG) is capable of discovering multi-stage vectors on target computer networks. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) comprise a special type network that not only contains computing devices but also integrates components operate the continuous domain, such as sensors and actuators. Using AGs CPSs requires system models exploit patterns capture both...

The proliferation of the Internet Things (IoT), wearable computing, and social media technologies bring forward realization so-called Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS), which is capable offering intelligent services in many different aspects our day-to-day life. While CPSS offer a wide variety data from devices, challenges such as silos secure sharing still remain. In this study, 2-Dimension...

The application of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in many areas is threatened by its embedded structure. This paper considers the design an adaptive controller for linear CPSs against deception attacks. Specifically, a corrective signal designed to suppress or offset impact sensor and actuator attacks, especially when correction are also attacked. First, developed time-invariant attacks further ...

Current trends like the proliferation of sensors or the Internet of Things lead to Cyber-physical Systems (CPSs). In these systems many different components communicate by exchanging events. While events provide a convenient abstraction for handling the high load these systems generate, CPSs are very complex and require expert computer scientists to handle correctly. We realized that one of the...
