Robust Dataset Classification Approach Based on Neighbor Searching and Kernel Fuzzy C-Means
Li Liu, Aolei Yang, Wenju Zhou, Xiaofeng Zhang, Minrui Fei, Xiaowei Tu
2015, 2(3): 235-247.
Abstract(1319) HTML (22) PDF(19)
Abstract:
Dataset classification is an essential fundament of computational intelligence in cyber-physical systems (CPS). Due to the complexity of CPS dataset classification and the uncertainty of clustering number, this paper focuses on clarifying the dynamic behavior of acceleration dataset which is achieve...
Decentralized Event-Triggered Average Consensus for Multi-Agent Systems in CPSs with Communication Constraints
Zhaoxia Wang, Minrui Fei, Dajun Du, Min Zheng
2015, 2(3): 248-257.
Abstract(1297) HTML (18) PDF(24)
Abstract:
The paper investigates decentralized event-triggered average consensus problem for multi-agent systems in cyberphysical systems (CPSs) with communication constraints. To reduce communication burden and improve the communication efficiency of multi-agent systems in CPSs, event-trigger is distributed ...
An Algebraic Detection Approach for Control Systems under Multiple Stochastic Cyber-attacks
Yumei Li, Holger Voos, Mohamed Darouach, Changchun Hua
2015, 2(3): 258-266.
Abstract(1345) HTML (22) PDF(21)
Abstract:
In order to compromise a target control system successfully, hackers possibly attempt to launch multiple cyberattacks aiming at multiple communication channels of the control system. However, the problem of detecting multiple cyber-attacks has been hardly investigated so far. Therefore, this paper d...
An Approach of Distributed Joint Optimization for Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Networks
Zhixin Liu, Yazhou Yuan, Xinping Guan, Xinbin Li
2015, 2(3): 267-273.
Abstract(1289) HTML (24) PDF(23)
Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are energyconstrained, so energy saving is one of the most important issues in typical applications. The clustered WSN topology is considered in this paper. To achieve the balance of energy consumption and utility of network resources, we explicitly model and factor t...
Dynamic Coverage with Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks in Underwater Environment
Xiaoyuan Luo, Liu Feng, Jing Yan, Xinping Guan
2015, 2(3): 274-281.
Abstract(1195) HTML (22) PDF(29)
Abstract:
This paper studies the problem of dynamic coverage with wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) in underwater environment. Different from most existing works, the WSANs consist of two kinds of nodes, i.e., sensor nodes (SNs) which cannot move autonomously and actor nodes (ANs) which can move auto...
End-to-end Delay Analysis for Mixed-criticality WirelessHART Networks
Xi Jin, Jintao Wang, Peng Zeng
2015, 2(3): 282-289.
Abstract(1251) HTML (19) PDF(19)
Abstract:
WirelessHART, as a robust and reliable wireless protocol, has been widely-used in industrial wireless sensoractuator networks. Its real-time performance has been extensively studied, but limited to the single criticality case. Many advanced applications have mixed-criticality communications, where d...
Cost Minimization of Wireless Sensor Networks with Unlimited-lifetime Energy for Monitoring Oil Pipelines
Changqing Xia, Wei Liu, Qingxu Deng
2015, 2(3): 290-295.
Abstract(1293) HTML (19) PDF(14)
Abstract:
Cyber-physical-system (CPS) has been widely used in both civil and military applications. Wireless sensor network (WSN) as the part and parcel of CPS faces energy problem because sensors are battery powered, which results in limited lifetime of the network. To address this energy problem, we take ad...
A Stochastic Programming Strategy in Microgrid Cyber Physical Energy System for Energy Optimal Operation
Hepeng Li, Chuanzhi Zang, Peng Zeng, Haibin Yu, Zhongwen Li
2015, 2(3): 296-303.
Abstract(1246) HTML (18) PDF(22)
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the energy optimal operation problem of microgrids (MGs) under stochastic environment. The deterministic method of MGs operation is often uneconomical because it fails to consider the high randomness of unconventional energy resources. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a no...
Distributed Secondary Control and Optimal Power Sharing in Microgrids
Gang Chen, Ening Feng
2015, 2(3): 304-312.
Abstract(1331) HTML (24) PDF(39)
Abstract:
We address the control problem of microgrids and present a fully distributed control system which consists of primary controller, secondary controller, and optimal active power sharing controller. Different from the existing control structure in microgrids, all these controllers are implemented as l...
Water Supply Networks as Cyber-physical Systems and Controllability Analysis
Yongsong Wei, Shaoyuan Li
2015, 2(3): 313-319.
Abstract(1341) HTML (17) PDF(31)
Abstract:
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a system of systems which consists of many subsystems that can stand alone in an individual manner and can be taken as a typical complex network. CPS can be applied in the critical infrastructures such as water supply networks, energy supply systems, and so on. In thi...
