With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart homes, the demand for energy efficient thermal comfort has also increased significantly to address the importance of quality of life (QoL) in a modern society. In this paper, we present a model predictive control (MPC) based thermal comfort controller for cyber-physical home systems (CPHS). The MPC controller is integrated into the existing Energy Efficient Thermal Comfort Control (EETCC) system that was developed for the experimental smart house, iHouse. The advantages of MPC was explored in a real time manner for reference tracking and energy minimization scenarios. Besides, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) index is also adopted into the MPC controller to further enhance the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of the CPHS. The proposed methods are evaluated and verified under various seasons in a CPHS simulation using raw environmental data from the iHouse.

This paper presents a train scheduling and a rescheduling models based on the generation of an alternative graph of the railway network. In the first model, the train scheduling problem has been solved to define the optimal timetable for a set of trains with the objective to minimize the travel times of passengers to reach their destination, outlining the related sequence of nodes and arcs of the graph to be covered by each group of passengers. Subsequently, a train rescheduling model is applied on an optimal timetable became infeasible due to unpredicted failures or disturbances introduced on the network. In this second approach, the objective is restore the railway service quality by reducing the delays for trains and passengers.The main contribution of this paper is to implement railway scheduling and rescheduling problem by linear programming formulations introducing in the second approach the innovative concept to prioritize the train that can access on the block section in case of conflicts on the network. The performances of the solution methods have been tested on real train timetable data related to a portion of railway in Liguria Region, in Italy.

Architecting a complex System-of-Systems (SoS) poses significant challenges due to the uncertainty and perceptions associated with understanding the implications of constituent system’s architecture design decisions at SoS level. Due to significant knowledge gaps, architects may find it difficult to uncover the ramifications of a specific decision on various Measures-of-Effectiveness (MOEs) and emergent behavior of the SoS. Subsequently, for complex SoS, learning cycles maybe experienced on the architecture design decisions. As the SoS evolves, these experiential learnings need to be factored into the uncertainty assessments of decisions and the impacted SoS MOEs, while evaluating and deciding on a specific decision. This paper proposes a knowledge based decision learning framework that factors the learning cycles experienced into the uncertainty associated with the decisions and impacted SoS MOEs. The framework takes into consideration, through an architectural knowledge base, multiple knowledge dimensions such as the attributes of the architecture design decision and the feedback loops experienced, in tandem with the complexity attributes and the knowledge gaps associated with the decision.

The combination of multiple functions having different and complementary capabilities enables the emergence of Autonomous Vehicles. Their deployment is limited by the level of complexity they represent together with the challenges encountered in real environments with strong safety concerns. Thus a major concern prior to massive deployment is on how to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicles despite likely internal (e.g. malfunctions) and external (e.g., aggressive behaviors) disturbances they might undergo. This paper presents the challenges that undergoes the design and development of autonomous vehicles with respect to their functional architecture and adaptive behaviors from a safety perspective. For the purpose of the rationales, we define needs and requirements that lead to the formulation of an architectural framework. Our approach is based on paradigms and technologies from non-automotive domains to address non-functional system properties like safety, reliability and security. The notion of micro-services is also introduced for the self-safety of autonomous vehicles. These are part of the proposed framework that should facilitate the analysis, design, development and validation for the adequate composition and orchestration of services aimed to warrant the required non-functional properties, such as safety. In the present paper, we introduce the structural and behavioral adaptations of the framework to offer a holistic and scalable vision of the safety over the system.

Systems of Systems (SoS) are complex systems, in which constituent systems are by themselves independent systems, that cooperate to achieve a common goal. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are SoS that seek to achieve better transportation experience for users, by using communication between different users of such systems. In this paper, we present the Cooperative Maneuvers Manager for Autonomous Vehicles (CMMAV), a SoS framework that contributes to the ITS by enabling autonomous vehicles to perform complex maneuvers on highways in a cooperative way. We used Systems of Systems Approach to Context-based Requirements Engineering (SoS-ACRE) to model the system.

Various boundary conditions make it difficult for companies to introduce the approach of System Engineering. Apart from extensive formalization of Systems Engineering processes, transferring to development projects is difficult, because involved engineers, developers or managers, are not clear about their changed roles in Systems Engineering projects. To describe these and to analyze what skills are required for the roles, this paper combines the theoretical bases of role models with a survey of desired competencies and capabilities in Systems Engineering. They essentially refer to graduates in technical studies. With this combination, the academic teaching in Systems Engineering is more driven by demands of appliers. Goal is that the necessary competencies and skills are the main part and content of Systems Engineering courses and lectures.

One of the distinguishing features of blockchain-based Distributed Autonomous Organizations(DAO) is lack of a central authority. Changes to blockchain data is achieved through consensus amongst blockchain network participants, rather than through a central node’s authoritative decision. Similarly, governance, i.e., changes to features and underlying source code, is achieved through a decentralized mechanism. As adoption of blockchain has increased, the need to evolve and adopt new features has grown. These changes highlight the mechanism by which the network, rather than a central node, makes decisions. One change in particular, proposed increases to the block size to address scalability limitations, has been particularly demonstrative of the governance mechanisms employed by disparate blockchains. For example, two digital currency projects, Bitcoin and Dash, employ significantly different governance mechanisms: the Dash Decentralized Governance By Blockchain (DGBB) process, and the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) process, to decide what changes to make to their blockchains. Dash governance was able to decide to alter the block size in a matter of hours, while Bitcoin governance took several years to make the same decision. This paper evaluates the governance mechanisms of blockchain projects using the change in block size as an exemplar. Two prominent governance mechanisms are described, compared, and assessed based upon how effective they came to consensus and made the decision to change to support the disparate needs of stakeholders.

Cancer is a major challenge for healthcare. A cancer diagnosis and treatment journey will be undertaken by many people during their lifetime. There are several different approaches to cancer treatment and there is often no one universally accepted opinion about the best treatment for any given diagnosis. This paper presents a system of systems view of cancer patient treatment and how governance can be improved by this approach. Traditionally, the views of different stakeholder groups within cancer patient care have not been combined. In keeping with current trends towards reducing fragmentation and lack of continuity, the systemic approach brings many benefits in giving a holistic and integrated representation, which can lead to a greater understanding of the problem space and ultimately inform policy makers to implement more effective and efficient policies.

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) has become an emerging and increasingly essential area of research, given the prospects of increasing the elderly world population. The establishment of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm provided several advances in the field of healthcare for older adults. However, the development of AAL platforms focused on older adults is still presenting several challenges. Many of these challenges are similar to those existing for IoT architectures (i.e., interoperability) and others are derived from the healthcare domain (e.g., patients and caregivers as end-users). In this paper, we present a survey of secondary studies on AAL platforms published between 2013 to 2017. Our focus resided in investigating the state-of-the-art of the adaptive AAL platforms for older adults assistance. We have established a set of research questions with which we seek to gain an overview of AAL platforms, development patterns, and the main challenges in this domain. We describe our search protocol, the execution, the selection of the papers, and the results obtained. Among the conclusions of our overview, we can mention the absence of a reference architecture for AAL platforms and some open questions (e.g., data privacy, usability, accessibility) present in this domain.
