In this paper, we propose a novel probability density function-free change detection test, which is based on the least squares density-difference estimation method and operates online on multidimensional inputs. The test does not require any assumption about the underlying data distribution, and is able to operate immediately after having been configured by adopting a reservoir sampling mechanism. Thresholds requested to detect a change are automatically derived once a false positive rate is set by the application designer. Comprehensive experiments validate the effectiveness in detection of the proposed method both in terms of detection promptness and accuracy.},

As the system complexity grows and a number of failures increases, the need for grid management paradigm shift from reactive to proactive is apparent and can be realized by employing advanced monitoring instruments, data analytics and prediction methods. In order to improve resilience of the Smart Grid and to contribute to efficient system operation, we present a blueprint of a comprehensive methodology for proactive failure management that may also be applied to manage other types of disturbances and undesirable changes. The methodology is composed of three main steps: (i) continuous monitoring of the most indicative features, (ii) prediction of failures and (iii) their mitigation. The approach is complementary to the existing ones that are mainly based on fast detection and localization of grid disturbances, and reactive corrective actions.},

	abstract = {In wireless mesh networks (WMNs), network-wide broadcasts (NWBs) are a fundamental operation, required by routing and other mechanisms that distribute information to all nodes in the network. However, due to the characteristics of wireless communication, NWBs are generally problematic. Optimizing them is thus a prime target when improving the overall performance and dependability of WMNs. Most of the existing optimizations neglect the real nature of WMNs and are based on simple graph models, which provide optimistic assumptions of NWB dissemination. On the other hand, models that fully consider the complex propagation characteristics of NWBs quickly become unsolvable due to their complexity. In this paper, we present the Monte Carlo method probabilistic breadth-first search (PBFS) to approximate the reachability of NWB protocols. PBFS simulates individual NWBs on graphs with probabilistic edge weights, which reflect link qualities of individual wireless links in the WMN, and estimates reachability over a configurable number of simulated runs. This approach is not only more efficient than existing ones, but further provides additional information such as the distribution of path lengths. Furthermore, it is easily extensible to NWB schemes other than flooding. The applicability of PBFS is validated both theoretically and empirically, in the latter by comparing reachability as calculated by PBFS and measured in a real-world WMN. Validation shows that PBFS quickly converges to the theoretically correct value and approximates the behaviour of real-life testbeds very well. The feasibility of PBFS to support research on NWB optimizations or higher level protocols that employ NWBs is demonstrated in two use cases.},

	abstract = {The creation of a sensors network for environmental monitoring, taking into account the functional and non-functional requirements, poses a series of problems that must be dealt with during the design phase. The main difficulties are related to the power of the nodes and their location so that the resulting network topology minimizes the overall energy consumption while guaranteeing the desired measurement accuracy. The adoption of a {\textquoteright}wireless{\textquoteright} communication model allows for greater flexibility during installation and allows creating remote connections more easily than the traditional wired pattern. Extension of the network topology by add ing new devices in the monitoring area or movement of devices already deployed are greatly simplified. But the requirements in terms of fault-tolerance and power consumption of a wireless network are in general more difficult to meet. In this chapter we propose two different solutions that improve performance in terms of power consumption of the main standard for communication in wireless sensor networks field (e.g. ZigBee) customizing it for monitoring applications in an open environment on geographical areas of several hectares. While the standard is intended to be as general as possible, optimizations have been included considering the special needs of our monitoring applications, in terms of number of nodes, topology density, nodes duty cycle and data-load. The first solution deals with the management of multi-hop communication and allows the use of devices that can be powered by batteries (and possibly small solar panels) for the relaying nodes. The second solution optimizes the management of faults (transient or permanent) in the network topology. It is rarely possible to develop and evaluate proposed solutions in the field prior to actual deployment, therefore simulation is an essential step in developing solutions for these applications. The simulation must be accurate and must provide an analysis of all issues related to communication and the behavioural dynamics of the single node in the network structure. For this reason the evaluation has been carried out by means of a modelling methodology developed expressly for wireless sensor networks.},

Networks of computational nodes will be used to compose such systems. In these networks tasks will be delegated dynamically to different nodes (that may be either general purpose or specialized). Thus, a mechanism to verify the reliability of the nodes is required, especially when nodes are allowed to move in different networks. In this context, the reliability of nodes is determined by their ability to execute the tasks assigned to them with the promised performances. This paper proposes a protocol to evaluate the reliability of the different nodes in the network, thus providing a trusting mechanism among nodes which can also manage the soft/hard real-time constrains of task execution. Some simulation results are also shown to help describing the properties of the protocol.},

	abstract = {Many side-channel attacks on implementations of cryptographic algorithms have been developed in recent years demonstrating the ease of extracting the secret key. In response, various schemes to protect cryptographic devices against such attacks have been devised and some implemented in practice. Almost all of these protection schemes target an individual side-channel attack and consequently, it is not obvious whether a scheme for protecting the device against one type of side-channel attacks may make the device more vulnerable to another type of side-channel attacks. We examine in this paper the possibility of such a negative impact for the case where fault detection circuitry is added to a device (to protect it against fault injection attacks) and analyze the resistance of the modified device to power attacks. To simplify the analysis we focus on only one component in the cryptographic device (namely, the S-box in the AES and Kasumi ciphers), and perform power attacks on the original implementation and on a modified implementation with an added parity check circuit. Our results show that the presence of the parity check circuitry has a negative impact on the resistance of the device to power analysis attacks.},
