Abstract—By integrating computational and physical elements through feedback loops, CPSs implement a wide range of safetycritical applications, from high-confidence medical systems to critical infrastructure control. Deployed systems must therefore provide highly dependable operation against

ontologies and reasoning over these for this flexible and knowledge-oriented integration of cyber-physical systems. The knowledge is acquired on the one hand by model instances and on the other hand by runtime information and user interactions with the participating devices. Author Keywords cyber-physical

in complex and critical cyber-physical systems, smart metering security concerns can not be always addressed at design time. Autonomic self-protection promises to address runtime security concerns in proactive and reactive ways. In this paper, we focus on the customer domain of smart metering

It will also require advances in privacy preservation and cybersecurity to ensure

Digitising statistics handling through

devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and other data sources are increasingly bridging the gap between the physical and digital world by providing fine-grained data about real-world events. Enterprise software systems are adopting the paradigm of event-based systems (EBS) to enable them to react

I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution.

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable
