Proposed Algorithm for Surveillance Applications
Technological systems are vulnerable to faults. In many fault situations, the system operation has to be stopped to avoid
damage to machinery and humans. As a consequence, the detection and the handling of faults play an increasing role in modern
technology, where many highly automated components interact in a complex way such that a fault in a single component may cause
the malfunction of the whole system. This work introduces the main ideas of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control under the optics
of various research work done in this area. It presents the Arduino technology in both hardware and software sides. The purpose of this
paper is to propose a diagnostic algorithm based on this technology. A case study is proposed for this setting. Moreover, we explained
and discussed the result of our algorithm.

A hybrid reasoning system for the prevention of rail accidents
ABSTRACT: This article describes a contribution to improving the usual safety analysis methods used in the certification of railway transport systems. The methodology is based on the complementary and simultaneous use of knowledge acquisition and machine learning. To demonstrate the feasibility and soundness of the proposed approach to assist in the analysis and evaluation of railway safety, we have developed a software tool. This tool is composed of two main modules: A module for the classification and capitalization of historical accident scenarios and a module for evaluating the completeness and consistency of the new scenarios proposed by the manufacturer of the transport system. The first classification module is an inductive, incremental and interactive learning system. The second evaluation module, which is based on the use of a rule-learning system, aims to provide experts with suggestions of potential failures which have not been considered by the manufacturer and which are capable of jeopardizing the safety of a new rail transport system. In contrast to traditional failure Diagnosis Systems, the developed software tool can be seen as an aid which reveals potential risk during the design stage of rail system
Suitability of Agile Methods for Safety-Critical Systems Development: A Surve...
Lately, agile methods have widely been used in large organizations. This contrasts to previous practice, where they were mainly
used for small projects. However, developers of safety critical systems have shied away from using these methods for the right and wrong
reasons. Adoption of agile methods for safety critical system development is low and there is need to find out why this is so especially
since agile methods allow a more relaxed approach towards documentation, flexible development lifecycle based on short iterations and
accommodates changing requirements. This paper presents a report of a detailed analysis of literature and aims to shed light on the
suitability of agile methods for developing safety critical systems .The findings indicate that many organizations are relying on traditional
methods to develop safety critical systems because they are familiar with them and have been thoroughly tested over time. However with
the advent of agile methods there is a paradigm shift by non safety critical system developers, nevertheless this is not happening with the
safety critical system developers and there is need to find out why.
Case-Based Reasoning for the Evaluation of Safety Critical Software. Applicat...
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the work described in this paper is to improve the assessment of the safety analyses for railway transport systems in France. The modes of reasoning which are used in the context of safety analysis and the very nature of knowledge about safety mean that a conventional computing solution is unsuitable and the utilization of artificial intelligence techniques would seem to be more appropriate. The approach which was adopted in order to design and implement an assistance tool for safety analysis involved the following two main activities: – Extracting, formalizing and storing hazardous situations to produce a library of standard cases which covers the entire problem. This process entailed the use of knowledge acquisition techniques; – Exploiting the stored historical knowledge in order to develop safety analysis know-how which can assist experts to judge the thoroughness of the manufacturer’s suggested safety analysis. This second activity involves the use of machine learning techniques in particular the use of Case-Based Reasoning. This paper presents a mock-up of a tool for storing and assessing Software Error Effect Analysis (SEEA) for the safety of automatic devices of terrestrial guided transport system. The purpose of our work is to exploit historical SEEA, which have already been carried out on approved safety-critical software, in order to assess SEEA of new software.
Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA): New hybrid approach to railway risk analysis
Abstract: The Preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) is used to essentially identify potential accidents related to the system and its interfaces to assess their probability of occurrence and the severity of the damage they may cause and finally propose solutions that will reduce, control or eliminate. Although essential in the process of analysis and safety evaluation of high-risk industrial system, the method PHA is very differently developed and remained unclear. This method is generally classified in theory by an inductive approach. However, in practice, a deductive approach is essentially used as the Fault tree analysis. To enhance the quality of the safety analysis in terms of completeness and consistency, we suggest a new hybrid method that combines these two modes of reasoning: induction and deduction. Indeed, the safety analysis of a complex system requires from experts in the field implementation of an iterative analysis process involving both inductive and deductive approaches. The ambition of this new method is to deconsolidate and renovate conventional approaches. In addition, this method is based on the use of a standardized vocabulary and a rigorous analytical approach likely to be accepted by all actors who participate in the development of safety documentation. Indeed, in accordance with national and European regulations and in particular the Railway Safety Directive, this paper proposes a generic approach for development assistance, assessment and prevention of risks which takes account of uses, theory and our experience in this domain.

Todays, establishing of information security in organizations is inevitable. Implementation of information
security in organizations is carried out through the implementation of information security control
objectives and controls. Since there are 39 control objectives and 133 controls so implementation of all
objectives / controls in terms of scheduling and budget would be difficult and costly for managers and
ISMS executives. Organization managers are trying to choice high risk and critical controls among all
controls for implementation or improvement. On the other hand previous quantitative methods for ranking
areas / objectives / controls, in addition to the mathematical complexity have divergence problem. As well
as organization managers and individuals concerned with ISMS have little information about the objectives
and controls. Therefore in this paper Fuzzy Screening technique is used for selection of critical controls. In
the present study, fuzzy screening process is discussed for selecting and prioritizing of security control
objectives.

A REVIEW OF SECURITY INTEGRATION TECHNIQUE IN AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Agile software development has gained a lot of popularity in the software industry due to its iterative and
incremental approach as well as user involvement. Agile has also been criticized due to lack of its ability to
deliver secure software. In this paper, extensive literature has been performed, in order to highlight the
existing security issues in agile software development. Majority of challenges reported in literature,
occurred due to lack of involvement of security expert. Improving security of a software system without
damaging the real essence of Agile can achieved with the continuous involvement of security engineer
throughout development lifecycle with its defined role and responsibilities.

A formalized root cause analysis process is used to identify the root causes of incidents and near misses. The incident investigation teams include personnel with relevant knowledge. All operations personnel receive introductory training in incident investigation, while supervisors and team leaders receive advanced training. Near misses and errors are encouraged to be self-reported without punitive action. Root cause analysis produces recommendations to address systemic problems, which are evaluated and tracked. A lessons learned program captures information to improve safety and effectiveness, and disseminates lessons learned. Lessons learned are summarized and shared in a timely manner, and follow-up monitoring assesses implementation and effectiveness.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Per APA, Always Use Times new Roman 12 Font…
E’s Data Security Company was established in 2010. It is an organization that provides data security and network solutions to the state and local government of the US Virgin Islands. An executive summary is much more than just one sentence… Add much more detail here… I suggest you eliminate the executive summary and start with your introduction.. 1.1 Introduction
In April 2014 E’s Data Security Company began its first phase of implementing a security plan for use within the company. This began what began?? Add more clarity here… by hiring its first Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the sole purpose of creating a security program for IT purposes (Scalet, 2006). Initially, the efforts of this plan were focused on obtaining the proper staffing to provide support in the implementation of this plan. It is imperative to understand that the development of an IT Security Program is an ongoing process that is ever-evolving, and a shared responsibility (M.U.S.E., n.d.). By coordinating efforts with local, state, and federal government entities, this plan creates a comprehensive opportunity to address the need for such a plan. Due to the fact that this organization serves a small community, the planning process will mainly rely principally on informal relationships. The formalization of this planning process varies based on the frequency of a particular hazard and its impact on the community.
1.2 Objectives This plan is presented and lists a set of goals for oversight and program implementation.
A. Implement and maintain policies and procedures for data security. B. Implement and maintain procedures to test system resilience.
C. Implement and maintain education for employees regarding system vulnerabilities.
D. Implement and maintain physical security procedures.
E. Implement, maintain and review policies for emergency response(s). 1.3 Determine company position
In order tTo determine where the organization stands, an external and internal audit will be conducted to determine its competency (Entrepreneurs, 2011). What is the purpose of this section?? 2 INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY
2.1 Develop – In collaboration with government agencies, the strategic plan ...
7 Steps to Build a SOC with Limited Resources
Most organizations don't have the resources to staff a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). This results in events that aren't monitored around the clock, major delays in detecting and responding to incidents, and the inability for the team to proactively hunt for threats. It's a dangerous situation.
But there is a solution. By using the Threat Lifecycle Management framework to combine people, process, and technology to automate manual tasks, your team can rapidly detect and respond to threats—without adding resources. Read on to learn 7 steps to building your SOC, even when your resources are limited.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Lecture 7
- 1. LECTURE 7 SYSTEMSAFETY Instructor: Engr. Beenish Akbar Khan Iqra National University (INU) Occupational Health Safety and Environment Btech Civil/Elect. Department 7th Semester Fall 2015
- 2. As society becomes more technically advanced, its tools become more and more sophisticated. In some cases, the machine has advanced further than the human capacity to control it. Jet fighters are good examples. Safety professionals need to be aware of the limits of human performance. 2
- 3. The system life cycle consists of six phases: 1.Concept 2.Definition 3.Development 4.Production 5.Deployment and 6.Disposition At the end of each phase, a safety review is conducted. A decision is then made whether to continue the project or place it on hold, pending further examination. 3
- 4. Historical data and technical forecasts are developed for a system hazard analysis. A Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) is conducted during this phase. Risk Analysis (RA) is performed to determine hazard control and to develop system-safety criteria. Safety management will be doing the initial work on the System Safety Program Plan (SSPP). Three basic questions must be answered by the time the concept phase is completed: ‘‘Have the hazards associated with the design concept been discovered and evaluated to establish hazard controls? Have risk analyses been initiated to establish the means for hazard control? Are initial safety requirements established for the concept phase?’’ (Roland and Moriarty, 1990, p. 23). 4
- 5. Definition phase is used to verify the preliminary design and product engineering. Reports presented at design review meetings discuss the technological risks, costs, human engineering, operational and maintenance suitability, and safety aspects. In addition subsystems, assemblies, and subassemblies of the system are defined at this time. The PHA is updated and a Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SSHA) is initiated so it can later be integrated into the System Hazard Analysis (SHA). Safety analysis techniques are used during this phase to identify safety equipment, specification of safety design requirements, initial development of safety test plans and requirements, and prototype testing to verify the type of design selected. 5
- 6. Environmental impact, integrated logistics support, producible engineering, and operational use studies are done during the development phase. The SSHA and safety design criteria are also completed during this phase. Using the data collected, a go/no-go decision can be made before production begins. 6
- 7. The production phase of the system life cycle involves close monitoring by the safety department. In addition, the quality- control department becomes important because of its focus on inspection and testing of the new product. Training begins during this phase. Updating of the analyses started during the definition and development phases continues. Finally, all the information collected during this phase is compiled into the System Safety Engineering Report (SSER). The SSER identifies and documents the hazards of the final product. 7
- 8. When the system becomes operational, it is in the deployment phase. Data continues to be collected and training is conducted. If any problems occur, individuals responsible for system safety must be available to follow up and decide on possible solutions. The system safety group in the organization also reviews any design changes made on the system. A sixth phase of the system life cycle, the disposition or termination phase, is the time that a system is removed from service. A good example is asbestos removal from a building. Safety professionals monitor these situations so both the worker and the public are protected. 8
