Title of the Special Issue : Resilient Communication and Sensor Networks

Aim: In this Special Issue we expect to publish articles about the use and advances of the novel approach of using statistical tools of decentralized fastest change detection as a building tool of a theoretical and practically implementable intrusion detection system.

Topics:

Impact of security incidents and malicious attacks in network reliability
Design and evaluation of reliable communication networks which are resilient against cyber-attacks
Trade-offs of reliability and resilience against security incidents in communication networks
Survivability in critical networks infrastructures under cyber-attacks
Resilience and reliability against security incidents in:

Software-defined networks (SDN),
Data centers,
Wireless sensor networks and ad hoc networks,
Content-oriented networks,
Cloud computing,
Fault-tolerant networks,
IoT,

Welcome Message from the Organizer: The development of secure and dependable communication and sensor networks is a major objective for both civilian and military systems. There are two types of threat that are considered in this proposal: The first type is the cyberthreat, based on cyberattacks and software based approaches. One of the thrusts of this effort is to advance the use of statistical methodology to model cyberattacks by viewing them as abrupt changes in traffic patterns. Such approaches have been effective, but there is a need to advance the state of the art, making them more sophisticated and flexible to respond to changing cyberthreat forms.
