Safety‐critical systems are designed to prevent catastrophic consequences from failure,
such as injury or death to humans and environmental damage. These must be carefully …

The next-generation electric power systems (smart grid) are studied intensively as a
promising solution for energy crisis. One important feature of the smart grid is the integration …

This paper presents a method to identify and localize failures in smart grids. The method is
based on a carefully designed Petri net (PN) that captures the modeling details of the …

While operating in three different modes with bi-directional power flow, electricity theft
detection, and localization in a grid-tied microgrid (MG) become challenging tasks …

In the past several decades, significant attention has been devoted to the quality
assessment of safety‐critical (SC) and control systems from many perspectives such as its …

The security of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) has become an active research area in
recent years. The goal of attackers in these systems is often disrupting physical processes …

A traditional power transmission system (TPTS) is composed of many electrical substations
(ESs) and transmission lines. When the latter meet faults, the output of the ESs may be …

Estimating the possible impacts of security attacks on physical processes can help to rank
the critical assets based on their sensitivity to performed attacks and predict their …

Cyber security is one of the most important risks for all types of cyber-physical systems
(CPS). To evaluate the cyber security risk of CPS, a quantitative hierarchized assessment …

Quantitative evaluation of security has always been one of the challenges in the field of
computer security. The integration of computing and communication technologies with …
