Privacy and safety are the most needed features while accessing the data in the IoT. Due to
the complicated decentralization and heterogeneous environment present in IoT, the …

IoT security and privacy have proven to be a significant challenge. The traditional access
control protocols are not suitable for IoT mainly due to a massive scale, ubiquitous …

In this paper centralized and distributed model predictive control methods are used for the
consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems in the presence of fixed and time …

The current practices for restoring critical services in the distribution system during a
disaster, align with the traditional centralized ideology of distribution systems operations. A …

The modern distribution automation suggests to enable decentralized self-healing of
distribution networks using advance metering and controlling infrastructure. Decentralized …

Multirobot and multiagent systems demonstrate collective (swarm) intelligence through
systematic and distributed integration of local behaviors in a group. Agents sharing …

The complexity of the design of the protection system using directional over current relays,
for modern power distribution systems has been increased due to the looped/meshed …

This paper deals with the problem of consensus in multi-agent systems. The consensus is
investigated considering directed networks composed by identical agents described by …

The smart grid is expected to self-heal, self-optimize, self-configure, and self-protect from
physical and cyber-disturbances. These requirements are expected to be built into intelligent …

In case of a permanent fault at the electrical distribution system (EDS), a centralized self-
healing scheme (SHS) is deployed to automatically identify the location of the fault and to …
