The continuously increasing degree of automation in many areas (e.g. manufacturing engineering, public infrastructure) lead to the construction of cyber-physical systems and cyber-physical networks. To both, time and energy are the most critical ...

Maintenance and update of Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) configurations pose an immediate challenge on the "Time-to-Integrate" aspect of new devices and traffics: adding new communicating sensors on production lines, adding new Engine Control Units (ECUs) ...

This paper addresses the issue of secure and trusted Internet of Things (IoT) networks by adopting the emerging blockchain technologies. This paper proposes a new hybrid blockchain technology to address the trusted IoT issues such as trustless ...

With the aggressive scaling of the VLSI technology, Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) are becoming more susceptible to faults. Therefore, designing reliable and efficient NoCs is of significant importance. The rerouting approach which is employed in most of the ...

Networked control applications for cyber-physical networks demand predictable and reliable real-time communication. Applications of this domain have to cooperate with network protocols, the operating system, and the hardware to improve safety properties ...

Small teams of cooperating robots have been shown to be useful in a myriad of applications, with robots communicating with one another in real-time, be it multimedia, motion control or position information. Their mobility leads to a dynamic network mesh ...

Mobile elements, which can traverse the deployment area and convey the observed data from static sensor nodes to a base station, has been introduced for energy efficient data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, most existing ...

In this paper we present a modular and extensible visualization framework for wireless sensor networks. These networks have typically no means of visualizing their internal state, sensor readings or computational results. Visualization is therefore a ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are currently receiving significant attention due to their unlimited potential. However, it is still very early in the lifetime of such systems and many research challenges exist. In this brief article, I concentrate on ...

Ocean bottom sensor nodes can be used for oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration and tactical surveillance applications. Moreover, Unmanned or Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (UUVs, AUVs), equipped with sensors, will ...
