There have been tremendous developments in theories and technologies control for smart systems. In this paper we review applications to various systems that are crucial the future of cities, example enterprise manufacturing systems, transportation energy data centres. Beyond discussing existing technological trends methodological approaches developed so far managing controlling such also provid...

Large commercial buildings are complex cyber-physical systems containing expensive and critical equipment that ensure the safety comfort of their numerous occupants. Yet occupant visitor access to spaces within these still managed through unsystematic, inefficient, human-intensive processes. As a standard practice, long-term building occupants given privileges rooms based on organizational role...

The smart grid (SG) is a promising platform for providing more reliable, efficient, and cost effective electricity to the consumers in a secure manner. Numerous initiatives across the globe are taken by both industry and academia in order to compile various security issues in the smart grid network. Unfortunately, there is no impactful survey paper available in the literature on authentications...

In this paper we investigate novel use cases for open multiapplication smart card platforms. These use cases require a fine-grained access control mechanism to protect the sensitive functionality of oncard applications. We overview the Security-by-Contract approach that validates at load time that the application code respects the interaction policies of other applications already on the card, ...

We develop a passive control strategy for suppressing thermoacoustic instability in bluff-body stabilized premixed turbulent combustor. When the equivalence ratio is varied, there transition from combustion noise to via intermittency perform simultaneous acoustic pressure, 2D-PIV, and CH* chemiluminescence measurements capture pressure fluctuations, velocity field, heat release rate (HRR) field...

We provide identification protocols that are secure even when the adversary can reset the internal state and/or randomization source of the user identifying itself, and when executed in an asynchronous environment like the Internet that gives the adversary concurrent access to instances of the user. These protocols are suitable for use by devices (like smartcards) which when under adversary con...

Smart home is a relatively new technology. Originally, smart home technology was used to control environmental systems such as lighting and heating; but recently the use of smart technology has been developed so that almost any electrical component within the home can be included in the system. Complex smart home applications include three levels of control: local control, discrete-event contro...

The need to manage and secure a rapidly growing information network has focused increasing attention on smart card technology. Over the past decade, smart cards evolved from offering basic memory to complex systems with chips that incorporate powerful processing units with dedicated peripherals. This evolution enabled a wide range of applications. Smart card applications include financial trans...
