Academic Press Security and Resilience in Intelligent Data-Centric Systems and Communication Networks

Security and Resilience in Intelligent Data-Centric Systems and Communication Networks presents current, state-of-the-art work on novel research in theoretical and practical resilience and security aspects of intelligent data-centric critical systems and networks. The book analyzes concepts and technologies that are successfully used in the implementation of intelligent data-centric critical systems and communication networks, also touching on future developments. In addition, readers will find in-demand information for domain experts and developers who want to understand and realize the aspects (opportunities and challenges) of using emerging technologies for designing and developing more secure and resilient intelligent data-centric critical systems and communication networks. Topics covered include airports, seaports, rail transport systems, plants for the provision of water and energy, and business transactional systems. The book is well suited for researchers and PhD interested in the use of security and resilient computing technologies. Includes tools and techniques to prevent and avoid both accidental and malicious behaviors Explains the state-of-the-art technological solutions for main issues hindering the development of monitoring and reaction solutions Describes new methods and technologies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques of future direction Review Presents current advances in the field of intelligence data-centric systems and communication networks, providing both theoretical and practical results About the Author Massimo Ficco is Assistant Professor at the Department of Industrial and Information Engineering of Università degli Studi della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli.
