Naslov predavanja: TOWARDS QUANTITATIVE MODELING OF RELIABILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: CHALLENGES AND ADVANCES
Abstract: Critical infrastructure systems are increasingly reliant on cyber infrastructure that enables intelligent real-time control of physical components. This cyber infrastructure utilizes environmental and operational data to provide decision support intended to increase the efficacy and reliability of the physical system and facilitate mitigation of failure. Correctly implemented, the ultimate result of these efforts is more sustainable use of non-renewable resources and reduction of environmental impact. However, realistic imperfections such as corrupt sensor data, software errors, or communication outages can cause failure in an otherwise functional physical infrastructure, defying the purpose of intelligent control. As such, justifiable reliance on cyber-physical critical infrastructure is contingent on rigorous investigation of the effect of intelligent control, including modeling and simulation of failure propagation within the cyber-physical infrastructure. We discuss challenges in and recent advances towards development of quantitative models and accurate simulation methods for cyber-physical critical infrastructure systems, with focus on the reliability of smart grids and intelligent water distribution networks.

Naslov predavanja: ENERGY-EFFICIENT ALGORITHMS FOR DATA RETRIEVAL FROM INDEXED PARALLEL BROADCAST CHANNELS
Abstract: Constraints on the energy, bandwidth, and connectivity of mobile devices complicate the timely and reliable access to public data. Energy is often the most stringent constraint, necessitating techniques that facilitate operation in energy-saving modes. Broadcasting, typically over parallel channels, has proven to be an effective method for dissemination of public data to mobile devices. However, the employment of parallel channels introduces challenges associated with channel switches and conflicts due to the concurrent accesses to multiple data items that ultimately increase energy consumption and response time. The detrimental effects on energy consumption and response time can be alleviated by scheduling the retrieval of data items in an order that reduces the number of passes over the air channels and channel switches between the parallel channels.
This research, proposes several scheduling algorithms that achieve the aforementioned objectives. To further improve energy consumption and response time, the scope of our scheduling algorithms has been enhanced by replication of popular data items. The proposed scheduling algorithms, both with and without replication, have been simulated and simulation results are presented and analyzed. These results show that the proposed scheduling algorithms, compared to some heuristic based methods, have greater impact in reducing the energy consumption and response time. This reduction is shown to be more pronounced with replication of data items.
