Creating and sharing knowledge for telecommunications

CLONAR - Cloud Native Real Time Systems at ETFA 2022


on 06-09-2022

... The team Mohammad Ashjaei (Mälardalen University), Daniel Corujo (Instituto de Telecomunicações and Universidade de Aveiro) and Paulo Pedreiras (Instituto de Telecomunicações and Universidade de Aveiro) are organizing the Workshop CLONAR - Cloud Native Real Time Systems in conjunction with ETFA 2022.

The workshop will focus on the incorporation of cloud services that have been regarded for the realization and evolution of Industry 4.0 systems. One such cloud-based evolutionary example is the deployment of industrial processes and systems not as a virtualized translation of that system into cloud computing, but instead being built from scratch to be operated over the cloud. These are dubbed cloud-native applications, which embody the main principles of cloud operations, ranging from availability, distribution, scalability, resiliency, and other aspects of equal importance to the industrial domain. The challenge lies when the cloud and factory domains “collide” and complex engineering solutions need to provide the intended benefits, without incurring drawbacks. One of such examples lies with real-time communications, particularly in the scope of hard real-time communications, where the shared infrastructure environments and distributed locality of information pose stringent requirements and complexity for a cloud-native solution.

ETFA 2022 is the 27th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) focusing on the latest developments and new technologies in the field of industrial and factory automation. The conference aims to disseminate novel ideas and emerging trends, research results, and practical achievements. ETFA 2022 will be held on September 6-9, 2022, in Stuttgart, Germany.

CLONAR will be held on the first day of the conference, Sept 6. Papers are limited to 8 double-column pages they must comply with ETFA guidelines regarding formatting and must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the conference submission system. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop to be included in the ETFA conference proceedings available at IEEEXplore.

Industrial Cybersecurity Methods and Technologies at ETFA 2022


on 06-09-2022

... The team Paulo C. Bartolomeu (Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal), Stefano Marrone (University of Campania, Italy) and Ricardo J. Rodríguez (University of Zaragoza, Spain) are organizing the Special Session: Industrial Cybersecurity Methods and Technologies, in the scope of ETFA 2022.

This Special Session focuses on novel security, safety, and privacy-enhancing technologies for current and future industrial applications.
Industrial cybersecurity has become a key research topic in recent years due to the massive connectivity brought by the Internet of Things and the rise of cyberattacks against industrial assets. While fostering contemporary applications and use cases, ubiquitous Internet access has also exposed legacy operational technologies to new and challenging security threats that must be addressed.

Topics under this session include (but are not limited to)
Security, safety, or privacy-enhancing technologies in industrial systems
Modeling of cybersecurity threats
Applications of distributed ledger technologies/blockchains in Industry 4.0
Self-sovereign identity for M2M and decentralized device-to-device communication
Hardware advances for securing Industrial devices and networks
Quantitative evaluation and/or interconnections among non-functional aspects (e.g., reliability vs. safety, security vs. performance)
Run-time methods and technologies for Complex Event Detection systems
Software engineering methods and techniques for high dependable control systems
Case studies/lessons learned of security, safety, or privacy assessments of industrial systems

The aim of this SS is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and experts from industries that conduct innovative cybersecurity work in related technical fields.
