Show moreCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are physical entities whose operations are monitored, coordinated, and controlled by a computing and communication core. These systems are highly heterogeneous and complex. Their numerous components and cross domain complexity make attacks easy to propagate and security difficult to implement. Consequently, to secure these systems, they need to be built in a systematic and holistic way, where security is an integral part of the development lifecycle and not just an activity after development. These systems present a multitude of implementation details in their component units, so it is fundamental to use abstraction in the analysis and construction of their architecture. In particular, we can apply abstraction through the use of patterns. Pattern-based architectural modeling is a powerful way to describe the system and analyze its security and the other non-functional aspects. Patterns also have the potential to unify the design of their computational, communication, and control aspects. Architectural modeling can be performed through UML diagrams to show the interactions and dependencies between different components and its stakeholders. Also, it can be used to analyze security threats and describe the possible countermeasures to mitigate these threats. An important type of CPS is a maritime container terminal, a facility where cargo containers are transported between ships and land vehicles; for example, trains or trucks, for onward transportation, and vice versa. Every cargo port performs four basic functions: receiving, storing, staging and loading for both, import and export containers. We present here a set of patterns that describe the elements and functions of a cargo port system, and a Reference Architecture (RA) built using these patterns. We analyze and systematically enumerate the possible security threats to a container terminal in a cargo port using activity diagrams derived from selected use cases of the system. We describe these threats using misuse patterns, and from them select security patterns as defenses. The RA provides a framework to determine where to add these security mechanisms to stop or mitigate these threats and build a Security Reference Architecture (SRA) for CPS. An SRA is an abstract architecture describing a conceptual model of security that provides a way to specify security requirements for a wide range of concrete architectures. The analysis and design are given using a cargo port as our example, but the approach can be used in other domains as well. This is the first work we know where patterns and RAs are used to represent cargo ports and analyze their security.

This dissertation proposes a utility-centric peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading framework as an alternative to traditional net metering, aiming to resolve conflicts between distributed energy resource owners and utilities. It advocates for practical software services and dynamic payment mechanisms tailored to prosumer needs, offering an alternative to reducing net metering incentives.

Show moreThis dissertation proposes a utility-centric peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading framework as an alternative to traditional net metering, aiming to resolve conflicts between distributed energy resource owners and utilities. It advocates for practical software services and dynamic payment mechanisms tailored to prosumer needs, offering an alternative to reducing net metering incentives. Additionally, it explores game theory principles to ensure equitable compensation for prosumer cooperation, driving the adoption of P2P energy markets. It also builds on demand-side payment mechanisms like NRG-X-Change by adapting it to provide fair payment distribution to prosumer coalitions. The interoperable energy storage systems with P2P trading also presented battery chemistry detection using neural network models. A fuzzy inference system is also designed to facilitate prosumers' choice in participating in P2P markets, providing flexibility for energy trading preferences. The simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design schemes.

Show moreThis study explores the connections of public procurement official perceptions of public-private partnerships and their contracting decisions for public infrastructure projects. Detailed discussion of previous scholarship and its focus on policymaking and project evaluation of public-private partnerships leaves a gap in the public policy process – implementation. Procurement officials are presented in the role of policy implementers rather than agents in a principalagent approach. This attempts to address a shortcoming of the description that these officials do nothing more than purchase. Arguments are put forth that these officials are given additional levels of discretion when faced with contracting decisions. Specifically, procurement officials observe that public-private partnerships provide sets of project consequences. A survey instrument is designed to explore the differences in perceptions that procurement officials have with respect to public-private partnerships and traditional contracting out. Survey failures result in findings only being able to attempt a more general view of public-private partnerships. Results allow perceptions to be placed in a decision-making model based on a project phase approach that develops on the assumption that tasks contracted to private vendors produce project consequences. Furthermore, analysis of significant consequence perceptions indicate that those perceptions do not provide a rationale for a procurement official’s decision-making on whether to contract using a public-private partnership for public infrastructure projects. Independent sample t-tests, controlled correlations, multiple ANOVA and linear regression analyses show that perceptions of consequences, the perceptions of differences of those consequences across project phases, relationships of consequences to perceptions of efficiency and effectiveness proxies and a bounded rationalitybased model of decision-making for procurement officials are all inconclusive. Discussion focuses on the development of consequences and phases as defining and clarifying public-private partnerships. Further discussions are presented for procurement officials with respect to their decision-making and possible role as policy implementers. Conclusions fail to uncover any inferential results. The research finds its primary contribution in the conceptual discourse of public procurement official roles and public-private partnership definitions.

Show moreLandmines have inflicted an insurmountable amount of physical and psychological harm, inhibiting social and economic development far after the conflict has ended. In an effort to create a world free of the weapon, a campaign to ban landmines was launched by non-governmental organizations. The Mine Ban Convention entered into force in 1999, requiring nation-states to immediately ban the use, production and transfer of anti-personnel landmines (APLs), destroy stockpiles within four years and remove landmines already planted within ten years. This study examines the level of legal compliance with the Mine Ban Convention. An empirical analysis is conducted using a data base constructed from reports published by the Landmine Monitor. This study finds that the treaty is a successful work in progress with a majority of Parties in compliance; 44 million stockpiled APLs have been destroyed and eleven states have completed mine clearance. 170 million stockpiled APLs and countless emplaced mines remain, indicating the world is still far from the goal of a mine-free world.

Show moreThis study investigated the philosophies of adult education and teaching styles as self-assessed by the Florida Cooperative Extension county-based agents. The Philosophy of Adult Education Inventory(c) (PAEI) was used to identify philosophic orientations and the Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS) was used to measure teaching style preference as either teacher-centered or learner-centered. Responses to the census survey were received from 217 agents in the six program areas: agriculture (101), family and consumer sciences (56), 4-H and youth development (50), natural resources (6), sea grant (2), and energy (2). The response rate was 69.11 percent. Program area, with its six discrete categories, was the independent variable while the scores from the PAEI(c) and the PALS instruments were the dependent variables. One-way analyses of variance were preformed to determine differences among the program area groups in their adherence to philosophies on the PAEI (c) and scores obtained on the PALS. Analyses revealed that the progressive philosophy was preferred by all groups and that there were significant (p < .05) differences between the program areas and their adherence to the five philosophies. The family and consumer sciences program area had a significantly higher mean score for both the behavioral and progressive philosophies than did 4-H and youth development area. The program area of 4-H had a significantly higher mean than did agriculture for the humanistic philosophy. The total mean scores on the PALS by program area were: agriculture (135.4604); family and consumer sciences (139.3304); 4-H and youth development (136.7100); and the combined areas of natural resources, sea grant, and energy (144.2000). One significant difference was found between the higher mean score of the family and consumer sciences group and that of the agriculture group on factor 3 (relating to experience). Correlations were calculated for the PAEI(c) and PALS cumulative scores plus the factor scores across the three program areas of agriculture, family and consumer sciences, and 4-H and youth development. Though there were individual, significant correlations found between philosophies and scores on the PALS factors, they could not meet the criteria necessary for significance when the per cell alpha level was estimated in order not to exceed the total alpha level of .05 when dealing with multiple hypotheses.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine the current status of the distributive education and the cooperative education prog rams in selected junior/community colleges in South Florida. Conclusions: The concept of cooperative distributive education and cooperative education is hanging by a thread in South Florida. The study indicated that on many campuses were it not for the initiative and hard work of often one or two individuals, either program would c ease to exist in a moment. If dramatic action is not initiated quickly on the State level these programs will continue to be subject to the whims of circumstance. In fact it would not be at all surprising for this invaluable educational resource to be lost virtually overnight. In general, the degree of adherence to the recommended program criteria was found to be quite low. This might mistakenly be interpreted as a failure on the part of the individual coordinator, or of poor program organization, but this would be totally inaccurate and unjust. The standards by which the programs were measured are attainable , but exceedingly high. It is doubtful that there are any other programs on the junior/community college campuses that ask as much of their instructional staff as that asked of the distributive education and cooperative education teacher/coordinators. As the author traveled from campus to campus it became increasingly apparent that a relative handful of dedicated men and women were accomplishing a truly enormous amount with little or no assistance or support. With increased financial and administrative assistance there is no doubt that the distributive education and cooperative education programs in South Florida's junior/community colleges are prepared to offer their students vocational education of the very highest quality.
