Previous studies mainly focus on failure modeling and analysis of unmanned systems in a single domain, where synergy of cross-domain unmanned combat has rarely been considered. In this study, a multilayered heterogeneous network model for cross-domain unmanned combat system has been developed. In addition, the logistic support, which is another key aspect of any combat is incorporated. Given the interdependencies among the layers considering logistic support and cross-domain synergy, importance measure-based malicious attack model is proposed to reflect the intensive dynamics and high uncertainties under modern combat environment. Then, cascading failure analysis based on load-capacity model is conducted, which provides a load redistribution method considering cross-domain synergy. Finally, a case study is given for demonstration and verification, where the number of kill chains and load entropy are adopted as performance indicators.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"2109-2120"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to control design, the topology hierarchical decomposition method is employed to simplify and layer the system topology, thereby reducing the complexity of topology and the communication burden of each agent. For each agent, a novel distributed observer is proposed under the event-triggered mechanism to estimate other agents' states, eliminating the necessity for real-time information from other agents. In addition, the hybrid dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed, which can reduce the frequency of communication between agents. Furthermore, a leader-following consensus protocol is constructed under the proposed event-triggered mechanism to ensure that all followers will track the trajectory of the leader. Moreover, the protocol is updated discontinuously, reducing computation costs for the systems. An example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"2022-2029"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some previous research methods that were applicable to single-layer networks (such as power networks) are not applicable to current CPPSs. In this article, we first establish an importance evaluation model for the lines in the power network and the nodes in the communication network of a CPPS. Then, the key nodes and lines in the CPPS are evaluated from three perspectives: network information, network properties, and network structure. Two algorithms are proposed, from network information and network property perspectives. Ten indicators are also formulated from a network structure perspective. Finally, the results of analyzing the correlations between indicators under these three perspectives using Kendall's tau-b show that the important lines and nodes in the different networks are different and that the most effective method of importance evaluation is based on information fusion from the network information perspective. The results also show that the research significance of investigating CPPS network node importance based on a Barabási–Albert communication network is greater than that of analyses based on Watts–Strogatz and Erdös–Rényi networks. The results can provide a good understanding of the operating status of a power system to help reduce the probability of system faults, thereby providing support for future intelligent and autonomous power systems.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"1987-1998"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing virtual machine placement strategies have achieved some success in reducing SLA violations through various approaches such as load balancing and minimizing host overloads. However, SLA compliance is influenced by multiple factors. Based on heuristic principles, this article fully considers various factors affecting SLA violations and proposes the HLEM-VMP virtual machine placement strategy. This strategy employs a greedy method to determine the placement of virtual machines by filtering and scoring physical hosts. We conducted comprehensive comparative experiments using the Cloudsim simulator with Planetlab and random workloads against classical algorithms such as EPSO, AFED-EF, and HS3MC-3MIN-1.5. The results show that HLEM-VMP not only significantly reduces SLA violations but also performs excellently on the combined index ESV. Building on this, we further propose the General-HLEM (G-HLEM) model, which allows for a tradeoff between energy consumption and SLA violations, thereby enhancing the model's generalizability. Experiments in three typical application scenarios demonstrate that G-HLEM can meet the needs of different scenarios and outperforms methods like EPSO, AFED-EF, and HS3MC-3MIN-1.5 on the ESV index, providing valuable insights for addressing SLA violation issues through virtual machine placement strategies.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"1963-1974"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A System of Systems Approach to Reliability-Oriented Planning of People-Centric Smart City Energy Infrastructure: A Bilevel MILP Formulation","authors":"Mahdi Nozarian;Alireza Fereidunian;Masoud Barati","doi":"10.1109/JSYST.2024.3474090","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/JSYST.2024.3474090","url":null,"abstract":"This article premises the notion of portraying a smart city energy infrastructure (SCEI) from a people-centric bottom-up view. This is concluded by a system of systems approach in which the coordinated collections of autonomous microenergy hubs construct macroenergy hubs as SCEI in a decentralized manner. Moreover, a reliability-oriented framework is introduced, complying with the performance requirement of customer satisfaction from the people-centric view. Since electric energy as a unique commodity is traded within a continuously operated system, reliability becomes an objective from the start of the planning process (i.e., reliability-oriented planning) while still achieving the performance (technical and quality) requirements demanded nowadays. Hence, the proposed reliability-oriented framework tends to improve customer interruption cost and cost of energy not supplied in the objective function, as well as the Electrical energy index of reliability (EEIR) and system average interruption frequency index as indices for both heat and electrical loads. In the proposed framework, all constituent systems collaborate to create a more functional and reliable SCEI, while each independent system intends to increase its benefit. Furthermore, the proposed framework is formulated as a bilevel mixed-integer linear programming planning problem. This bilevel formulation suffers from nonconvexity in its lower level problem. Therefore, it is transformed into a single-level problem through binary constraint relaxation and primal–dual reformulation. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by implementing it to the Dättwil district (Switzerland) as a real urban case study system. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach due to considerable improvement in reliability performance (5.2% in EEIR, 95% in electrical system average interruption frequency index, 0.1% in heat energy index of reliability (HEIR), and 56% in heat system average interruption frequency index), SCEI-to-grid performance (81% in export to import ratio), and sustainability performance (77.8% in emission and 4.8% in energy loss).","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"2085-2096"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive simulations validate our theoretical analysis under varying system parameters. The findings indicate that the FDR performance is comparable to half-duplex relaying in specific scenarios. However, analytical expressions involve nonelementary functions, posing challenges for real-time configurations. To overcome this hurdle, we adopt machine-learning (ML) models for multioutput performance prediction with short execution time, low computational complexity, and high accuracy. Among the proposed ML frameworks, the extreme gradient boosting model with multi-output regressors proves to be the most efficient estimator. This network can rapidly respond with the necessary system settings to meet the desired quality of services associated with specific key performance indicators.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"1975-1986"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the practical implementation of a remote radio unit (RRU) and the nonreciprocity of downlink–uplink channels due to RCEs and LO phase drift, we model the downlink channel with a random phase rotation. Then, we study the system-level performance of both centralized and distributed CF-mMIMO architectures with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoding schemes. We derive the closed-form expressions for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the downlink precoding schemes, and obtain the closed-form expressions for the average spectral efficiency (SE) per user with locations of both RRU and user equipment (UE) following the Poisson point process. Simulation results show that the closed-form expressions are accurate when compared with Monte Carlo results. The results demonstrate that the impact of RCEs and LO phase drift on system performance is more severe for centralized ZF precoding than for MRT and distributed ZF precoding.

The attacks aim at compromising the integrity of market operations by causing profit/loss to a targeted utility/consumer. Injection of false data on sensor measurement allows for maliciously controlling the locational marginal price (LMP) through the state variable. In this work, we propose a false data injection attack (FDIA) on the market operation with the objectives of maximally deviating the LMP and minimizing the attack budget. Considering the conflict between the two objectives, a tradeoff approach based on multiobjective optimization has been proposed. The solution derived postconvergence of the optimization problem provides a set of solutions (Pareto-front), each pertaining to bus locations on which FDIA can be carried out. The solution allows an intruder to design an FDIA based on the priority assigned between market disruption and attack budget. For a given budget for launching an attack, the Pareto-front provides the optimal FDIA configuration for which the deviation in LMP is maximized. To validate the proposed design scheme in practical settings, a real-time testbed is developed involving the cosimulation of the power and communication networks.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"18 4","pages":"1999-2009"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
