ASiMOV: A self-protecting control application for the smart factory

The evolution of manufacturing systems into a smart factory brings advantages but also increased cyber-risks. This paper investigates the problem of intrusion detection and autonomous response to cyber-attacks targeting the control logic of industrial control applications for the smart factory. Specifically, we propose ASiMOV (Asynchronous Modular Verification), a self-protecting architecture for cyber–physical systems realizing a verifiable control application.

Measuring Docker performance: what a mess!!!

Today, a new technology is going to change the way platforms for the internet of services are designed and managed. This technology is called container (e.g. Docker and LXC). The internet of service industry is adopting the container technology both for internal usage and as commercial offering. The use of container as base technology for largescale systems opens many challenges in the area of resource management at run-Time, for example: Autoscaling, optimal deployment and monitoring.

Auto-scaling of containers: the impact of relative and absolute metrics

Today, The cloud industry is adopting the container technology both for internal usage and as commercial offering. The use of containers as base technology for large-scale systems opens many challenges in the area of resource management at run-Time. This paper addresses the problem of selecting the more appropriate performance metrics to activate auto-scaling actions. Specifically, we investigate the use of relative and absolute metrics. Results demonstrate that, for CPU intense workload, the use of absolute metrics enables more accurate scaling decisions.
