Game-Theoretic And Machine-Learning Techniques For Cyber-Physical Security And Resilience In Smart Grid, Longfei Wei Oct 2018

Game-Theoretic And Machine-Learning Techniques For Cyber-Physical Security And Resilience In Smart Grid, Longfei Wei

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The smart grid is the next-generation electrical infrastructure utilizing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), whose architecture is evolving from a utility-centric structure to a distributed Cyber-Physical System (CPS) integrated with a large-scale of renewable energy resources. However, meeting reliability objectives in the smart grid becomes increasingly challenging owing to the high penetration of renewable resources and changing weather conditions. Moreover, the cyber-physical attack targeted at the smart grid has become a major threat because millions of electronic devices interconnected via communication networks expose unprecedented vulnerabilities, thereby increasing the potential attack surface. This dissertation is aimed at developing novel game-theoretic and …


Novel Representations For A Coherent Threshold Reliability System: A Tale Of Eightsignal Ow Graphs, Ali Muhammad Rushdi, Alaa Mohammad Alturki Jan 2018

Novel Representations For A Coherent Threshold Reliability System: A Tale Of Eightsignal Ow Graphs, Ali Muhammad Rushdi, Alaa Mohammad Alturki

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A threshold system is a reliability system whose success/failure is a threshold switching function in the successes/failures of its components. A coherent system (CS) is one that is causal, monotone, and with relevant components. The coherent threshold system (CTS), typically called the weighted k-out-of-n system, is consequently described by strictly positive weights and threshold. This paper presents recursive relations as well as boundary conditions for eight entities pertaining to a CTS. These are (a) expressions of monoform literals as well as disjoint or probability- ready expressions for either system success or failure, and (b) all-additive formulas as well as inclusion-exclusion …


Reliable Data Gathering In The Internet Of Things Using Artificial Bee Colony, Samad Najjar-Ghabel, Shamim Yousefi, Leili Farzinvash Jan 2018

Reliable Data Gathering In The Internet Of Things Using Artificial Bee Colony, Samad Najjar-Ghabel, Shamim Yousefi, Leili Farzinvash

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables physical devices to communicate with each other for preparing, gathering, and sharing hazard warnings or critical information without human intervention. With respect to emergency applications of IoT technology, an essential issue is to provide an efficient and robust scheme for data gathering. The proposed solution in the existing approaches is to construct a spanning tree over the IoT devices and collect data using the tree. The shortcoming of these algorithms is that they do not take into account the probability of device mobility or failure. In such cases, the spanning tree is split, …
