Taylor & Francis Ltd Practical Engineering Design
Book SynopsisEvery engineer must eventually face their first daunting design project. Scheduling, organization, budgeting, prototyping: all can be overwhelming in the short time given to complete the project. While there are resources available on project management and the design process, many are focused too narrowly on specific topics or areas of engineering. Practical Engineering Design presents a complete overview of the design project and beyond for any engineering discipline, including sections on how to protect intellectual property rights and suggestions for turning the project into a business.An outgrowth of the editors'' broad experience teaching the capstone Engineering Design course, Practical Engineering Design reflects the most pressing and often-repeated questions with a set of guidelines for the entire process. The editors present two sample project reports and presentations in the appendix and refer to them throughout the book, using examples and critiques to demonstrate sTable of ContentsThe Design Process.

Taylor & Francis Ltd 5G Cyber Risks and Mitigation
Book Synopsis5G technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless communication. It offers faster speeds and more bandwidth than 4G. One of the biggest differences between 4G and 5G is that 5G will be used for a wider range of applications. This makes it ideal for applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This means that there will be more devices connected to 5G networks, making them more vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, 5G also introduces new cyber risks that need to be addressed. In addition, 5G networks are expected to be much more complex, making them harder to secure. 5G networks will use new technologies that could make them more vulnerable to attacks. These technologies include massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO), which uses more antennas than traditional cellular networks, and millimeter wave (mmWave), which uses higher frequencies than traditional cellular networks.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cybersecurity of Discrete Event Systems
Book SynopsisThis book describes analysis and control against smart cyberattacks in discrete event systems (DES). This is the first technical DES book to provide a thorough introduction to smart cyberattacks on supervisory control systems modelled by regular languages or finite-state automata and possible resilient defence methods against smart cyberattacks.Smart attacks cannot be detected by the supervisor until an irreversible process toward ensured damage occurs. An attack may be conducted either in the observation channel (i.e., the supervisorâs input of the supervisor) or in the command channel (i.e., the supervisorâs output) or both simultaneously. Therefore, defence strategies against these attacks are urgently needed. Rong Su provides a comprehensive overview of the latest theories and includes empirical examples to illustrate concepts and methods. By centering on what information is available and how such information is used, the readers are provided with methods to evaluate the cyber vulnerability of a given system and design a resilient supervisor against relevant smart attacks. This book comprises two sections. Firstly, Su introduces the required concepts and techniques related to DES and supervisory control. Then he introduces different types of smart attacks that intercept and manipulate information in sensor and command channels in a standard closed-loop control system. Secondly, he presents resilient defence strategies against relevant types of attacks.By focusing on a conceptual introduction and systematic analysis, this book provides a solid theoretical foundation for future exploration by researchers and graduate students who are interested in cybersecurity research, not necessarily limited to those in the DES community. To illustrate the practical relevance of this research, realistic examples are used throughout this book. Readers are recommended to have a background in formal language theory.
