Today’s critical infrastructures like the Power Grid are essentially physical processes controlled by computers connected by networks. They are usually as vulnerable as any other interconnected computer system, but their failure has a high socio-economic impact. The paper describes a new construct for the protection of these infrastructures, based on distributed algorithms and mechanisms implem...

As one of the most promising applications in future Internet Things, Vehicles (IoV) has been acknowledged as a fundamental technology for developing Intelligent Transportation Systems smart cities. With emergence sixth generation (6G) communications technologies, massive network infrastructures will be densely deployed and number nodes increase exponentially, leading to extremely high energy co...

In this paper we present Unified Communications (UC) as a new class of communication systems, marketed by vendors as a means for integrating communication media and creating presence awareness. Designed as complex infrastructures, UC systems enfold their full potential when being customised to a particular social context. In doing so, the technology allows creating contextspecific presence sign...

The increase of traffic in IP networks, leads operators to search for efficient tools to monitor it in order to support QoS. Several infrastructures to measure traffic and monitor routing have been deployed but SLA can not rely on them because of their lack of interoperability. MOMENT project is currently developing a mediator to access most of available traffic measurement systems. Thus a unif...
