“…A malicious software spreading dynamics model is presented to learn about the trustworthiness evolution of CPMSs. The author in [46] proposed a service-oriented development approach for wide-area physical system such as vehicular networks and smart grid. Dissimilar to the traditional approach, the proposed methodology intrinsically permits disruption-free deployment.…”

Due to advances in technology, research in healthcare using a cyber-physical system (CPS) opens innovative dimensions of services. In this paper, the authors propose an energy- and service-level agreement (SLA)-efficient cyber physical system for E-healthcare during data transmission services. Furthermore, the proposed phenomenon will be enhanced to ensure the security by detecting and eliminating the malicious devices/nodes involved during the communication process through advances in the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol. The proposed framework addresses the two security threats, such as grey and black holes, that severely affect network services. Furthermore, the proposed framework used to find the different network metrics such as average qualifying service set (QSS) paths, mean hop and energy efficiency of the quickest path. The framework is simulated by calculating the above metrics in mutual cases i.e., without the contribution of malevolent nodes and with the contribution of malevolent nodes over service time, hop count and energy constraints. Further, variation of SLA and energy shows their expediency in the selection of efficient network metrics.

“…Smart grid safety and protection has been extensively studied in the past few years. Tariq et al [8] have suggested a method for improving the safety and security of smart grid systems using a resource-aware service-oriented development architecture. Certain studies have focused on high voltage asset protection such as transmission lines using a pilot protection scheme [9], Maier and Lévesque [10] have discussed FiWi technology and its impacts on sustainability.…”

Smart grid applications, such as teleprotection, synchrophasors, remote condition monitoring, and control of assets, require timely and reliable data communication systems. Many communication architectures and solutions have been proposed to provide support for these smart grid applications, including fiber networks, wireless mobile networks, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and so on. The use of heterogeneous solutions is an attractive architecture option since it combines the advantages of two or more communication systems to meet the delay and reliability requirements of the smart grid. Fiber-wireless sensor networks (Fi-WSNs) are gaining popularity as a reliable communication infrastructure in many other applications. This is due to the low cost, reliability, availability, the distributed nature of the WSNs, and the high bandwidth and reliability of the optical fiber networks. Although the Fi-WSNs systems can provide a good delay performance, they may not meet the requirements of the above smart grid delay-critical applications. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive and cross-layer service differentiation mechanism for the Fi-WSNs. The proposed mechanism implements an adaptive scheduling mechanism and allows WSNs to cooperate with the optical network unit (ONU) to reduce the delay for high priority traffic. We determine the effects of the proposed mechanism on the quality of service (QoS) of delay critical smart grid monitoring applications in terms of the end-to-end delay and reliability. We show through simulations that our proposed QoS mechanism can reduce the end-to-end delay in the Fi-WSN system and in the long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs). We also show that our mechanism can outperform the existing techniques under the same traffic and network conditions.

“…One effective way to coordinate cyber and physical side control is using the control logic of a service to establish the cyber-physical interdependency [12], [13]. Research has proposed a service-oriented cyber physical system design method addressing the importance of service quality [14], which integrates the cyber and physical side effect according to services. Some cyber-attack modeling methods have taken into consideration the construction of the corresponding relations between certain attack types and physical impacts [15], and designed service-specified attack [16], [17] and defense methods [18], [19].…”

With the developing cyber physical power systems and emerging threat of cyber-attacks, the traditional power services are faced with higher risks of being compromised, as vulnerabilities in cyber infrastructure can be exploited to cause physical damage. Therefore, adjustments need to be made in current control scheme design methods to mitigate the impact of potential attacks on service quality. In this paper, focusing on the service of coordinated source-load participation in primary frequency regulation, a vulnerability analysis is performed with modelling the attack intrusion process, and the risk assessment of the service is made by further modelling the attack impacts on the service's physical effects. On that basis, the traditional coordinated reserve allocation optimization model is modified and the allocation scheme is corrected according to the cyber-attack impacts. The proposed correction methods are validated through a case study, showing effectiveness in defending against the cyber-attack impacts.INDEX TERMS Attack mitigation, cyber physical system security, coordinated control, risk assessment.
