Tephra Transport, Sedimentation and Hazards
… the main volcanic hazard to populated areas and critical facilities. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand processes that lead to tephra transport, sedimentation and hazards. In this study, and based on detailed mapping and sampling of the tephra deposit of the 2450 BP Plinian eruption of …

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Matrix (CRAM): A System-Theoretic Approach to Balancing Operational and Cybersecurity Risk in the Management of Transient Cyber Assets (TCA) in the Maintenance of Operational Technology (OT)
Less than 10 years ago, cyber security of critical infrastructure was a topic of interest in various circles of focused technical subject matter expertise. Today, it has become a mainstream topic of discussion all too often highlighted by large scale incidents with global visibility and impact such …

Multi-Agent Systems in Microgrids: Design and Implementation
… and resiliency of electric power supply to serve critical facilities are of high importance in today's world. Instead of building large electric power grids and high capacity transmission lines, an intelligent microgrid (or smart grid) can be considered as a promising power supply alternative. In …
