Water supply and drainage systems, which are categorized as critical infrastructure, serve a crucial role in preserving societal health and well-being. Since climate change effects, harsher regulations, population changes, and aging infrastructure pose ...

For water distribution networks (WDNs) with risks of insufficient water supply, some users' water demand is affected. Because the operation cost is positively related to the number of users whose water demand cannot be met, making the most of the ...

This paper aims at improving the operation of the water distribution networks (WDN) by developing a leak monitoring framework. To do that, an online statistical hypothesis test based on leak detection is proposed. The developed technique, the so-called ...

The status quo of control in water distribution networks (WDN) relies on simple, rule-based control strategies to operate pumps and valves. For example, pumps are switched on/off if a tank's water level---a local measurement---is below/above a certain ...

The water loss detection and location problem has received great attention in recent years. In particular, data-driven methods have shown very promising results mainly because they can deal with uncertain data and the variability of ...

In this paper, we study the sensor placement problem in urban water networks that maximizes the localization of pipe failures given that some sensors give incorrect outputs. False output of a sensor might be the result of degradation in sensor's ...

In this manuscript, we present a detailed case study about model-based attack detection procedures for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). In particular, using EPANET (a simulation tool for water distribution systems), we simulate a Water Distribution ...

The recent development of low cost wireless sensors enables novel internet-of-things (IoT) applications, such as the monitoring of water distribution networks. In such scenarios, the lifetime of the wireless sensor network (WSN) is a major concern, given ...

The infrastructures used in cities to supply power, water and gas are consistently becoming more automated. As society depends critically on these cyber-physical infrastructures, their survivability assessment deserves more attention. In this overview, ...

We present an extension to the concept of an advisor for distributed self-organizing systems that allows to improve the efficiency of such systems that act in environments where the actions of a system component have an influence on the whole ...

This paper deals with modeling and simulation of water distribution systems using Hybrid Petri Nets. A methodology for building a Timed Hybrid Petri Net (THPN) model is proposed; the model is derived from a set of equations describing conservation of ...

Reducing the energy consumption of water distribution networks has never had more significance. The greatest energy savings can be obtained by carefully scheduling the operations of pumps. Schedules can be defined either implicitly, in terms of other ...

With the daily becoming enlargement of water distribution networks scale, the problem of water distribution networks waterpower calculation has become more and more complicated, the traditional algorithm has been already unable to satisfy the need of ...

In cyber-physical systems (CPSs), embedded computing systems and communication capability are used to streamline and fortify the operation of a physical system. Intelligent critical infrastructure systems are among the most important CPSs and also prime ...
