Title: Securing IoT-enabled Cyber Physical Systems: Navigating the Landscape of Challenges and Solutions

Abstract: The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has ushered in an era of interconnected Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), revolutionizing how we interact with the digital and physical realms. As we embrace the transformative power of IoT, we find ourselves confronted with an evolving threat landscape that demands vigilant attention to ensure the security and resilience of these interconnected systems. This invited speech will commence with an overview of IoT, delineating its architecture and the intricacies of the interplay between physical and digital components within CPS. Subsequently, the discourse will delve into the multifaceted threat landscape faced by IoT-enabled CPS, exploring challenges such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and the potential compromise of critical infrastructure. In addressing these challenges, the presentation will highlight potential solutions that focus on secure authentication, processing, and communication within IoT ecosystems. Special emphasis will be placed on innovative approaches to authentication mechanisms, robust data processing protocols, and resilient communication channels that fortify the overall security posture of IoT-enabled CPS. In conclusion, the speech will set the stage for the future of research in securing IoT-enabled CPS.

Title: Empowering Sustainability, Efficiency, and DevOps of IoT Applications at the Edge

Abstract: The increasing demand for real-time data processing, data privacy preservation, and simplified development and deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) Applications across cloud, edge, and the edge-to-cloud continuum has placed sustainability and efficiency at the forefront of our priorities. In this seminar, my aim is to explore the field of edge computing and the edge-to-cloud continuum, with a specific focus on enhancing sustainability through optimized scheduling algorithms and software systems that improve overall efficiency of IoT applications. Additionally, I will introduce our progress in serverless edge computing architecture, streamlining IoT application deployment and scalability to reduce operational costs and enhance overall efficiency. Throughout the discussion, I will highlight projects developed within the DisNet lab at Monash University, which significantly reduce the operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions of these computer systems and IoT applications. These achievements are made possible through innovative resource scheduling and management algorithms, with a particular emphasis on our work in serverless edge computing.
