False data injection attacks can pose serious threats to the operation and control of power grid. The smarter the power grid gets, the more vulnerable it becomes to cyber attacks. Various detection methods of cyber attacks ...

Conventional power system was originally designed to provide efficient and reliable power. With the integration of information technology and advanced metering infrastructure, the power grid has become smart. The smart ...

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), one of the prime components of the smart grid, has many benefits like demand response and load management. Electricity theft, a key concern in AMI security since smart meters used ...

Cyber-attacks poses a serious threat to power system operation. False data injection attack (FDIA) is one such severe threat, if wisely constructed, can cause flawed estimation of power system states, thereby, leading to ...

Abstract—In this paper, we consider a source, which communicates to destination, with cooperation of a relay node. An eavesdropper is tapping the second hop, when all the links undergo Rayleigh fading. Relay nodes are the ...

For reliable operation and control of smart grid, estimating the correct states is of utmost importance to the system operator. With recent incorporation of information technology and advanced metering infrastructure, the ...

In the quest for reliability and automation, the entire smart grid operation and control depends on the communication infrastructure. This reliance on the information and communication technologies has also opened up ...

One of the key challenges faced by consumers is to efficiently manage and monitor the quality of cloud services. To manage service performance, consumers have to validate rules embedded in cloud legal contracts, such as ...

System calls provide an interface to the services made available by an operating system. As a result, any functionality provided by a software application eventually reduces to a set of fixed system calls. Since system ...

Contemporary smartphones are capable of generating and transmitting large amounts of data about their users. Recent advances in collaborative context modeling combined with a lack of adequate permission model for handling ...
