HADES: a Hybrid Anomaly Detection System for Large-Scale Cyber-Physical Systems

Smart cities rely on large-scale heterogeneous distributed systems known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Information systems based on CPS typically analyse a massive amount of data collected from various data sources that operate under noisy and dynamic conditions. How to determine the quality and reliability of such data is an open research problem that concerns the overall system safety, reliability and security. Our research goal is to tackle the challenge of real-time data quality assessment for large-scale CPS applications with a hybrid anomaly detection system. In this paper we describe the architecture of HADES, our Hybrid Anomaly DEtection System for sensors data monitoring, storage, processing, analysis, and management. Such data will be filtered with correlation-based outlier detection techniques, and then processed by predictive analytics for anomaly detection.
