Intelligent Monitoring, Control, and Security of Critical Infrastructure Systems
This book describes the challenges that critical infrastructure systems face, and presents state of the art solutions to address them. How can we design intelligent systems or intelligent agents that can make appropriate real-time decisions in the management of such large-scale, complex systems? What are the primary challenges for critical infrastructure systems? The book also provides readers with the relevant information to recognize how important infrastructures are, and their role in connection with a society’s economy, security and prosperity. It goes on to describe state-of-the-art solutions to address these points, including new methodologies and instrumentation tools (e.g. embedded...

Optimal Designs of Sensor Placement in Water Distribution Systems
The dual purpose of regular monitoring and contaminant event detection in the water distribution systems (WDSs) can be achieved through sensors that can monitor general water quality constituents, such as pH, residual chlorine, conductivity, temperature, etc. This book details different sensor placement parameters considered for contamination detection and regular/routine water quality monitoring in WDSs and their evaluations. It covers genetic algorithm (GA)-based methodology, selecting a specified number of optimal sensor locations using combined weighted objectives. Applications to different pressure-deficient systems and intermittent systems are explained as part of a case study in India...
Safety and Security of Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) consist of software-controlled computing devices communicating with each other and interacting with the physical world through sensors and actuators. Because most of the functionality of a CPS is implemented in software, the software is of crucial importance for the safety and security of the CPS. This book presents principle-based engineering for the development and operation of dependable software. The knowledge in this book addresses organizations that want to strengthen their methodologies to build safe and secure software for mission-critical cyber-physical systems. The book: • Presents a successful strategy for the management of vulnerabilities, threats, and failures in mission-critical cyber-physical systems; • Offers deep practical insight into principle-based software development (62 principles are introduced and cataloged into five categories: Business & organization, general principles, safety, security, and risk management principles); • Provides direct guidance on architecting and operating dependable cyber-physical systems for software managers and architects.
