Abstract
Securing wireless communication is significant for privacy and confidentiality of sensing data in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). However, due to broadcast nature of radio channels, disseminating sensory data is vulnerable to eavesdropping and message modification. Generating secret keys by extracting the shared randomness in a wireless fading channel is a promising way to improve the communication security. In this poster, we present a novel secret key generation protocol for securing real-time data dissemination in CPS, where the sensor nodes cooperatively generate a shared key by estimating the quantized fading channel randomness. A 2-hop wireless sensor network testbed is built and preliminary experimental results show that the quantization intervals and distance between the nodes lead to a secret bit mismatch.

Abstract
Cooperative Cyber-Physical Systems (Co-CPSs) can be enabled using wireless communication technologies, which in principle should address reliability and safety challenges. Safety for Co-CPS enabled by wireless communication technologies is a crucial aspect and requires new dedicated design approaches. In this paper, we provide an overview of five Co-CPS use cases, as introduced in our SafeCOP EU project, and analyze their safety design requirements. Next, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the main existing wireless communication technologies giving details about the protocols developed within particular standardization bodies. We also investigate to what extent they address the non-functional requirements in terms of safety, security and real time, in the different application domains of each use case. Finally, we discuss general recommendations about the use of different wireless communication technologies showing their potentials in the selected real-world use cases. The discussion is provided under consideration in the 5G standardization process within 3GPP, whose current efforts are inline to current gaps in wireless communications protocols for Co-CPSs including many future use cases.

Abstract
Deterministic Synchronous Multichannel Extension (DSME) is a prominent MAC behavior first introduced in IEEE 802.15.4e that supports deterministic guarantees using its multisuperframe structure. DSME also facilitates techniques like multi-channel and CAP reduction that help to increase the number of available guaranteed timeslots in a network. However, no tuning of these functionalities in dynamic scenarios is supported in the standard. In this paper, we present an effective multisuperframe tuning technique that also helps to utilize CAP reduction in an effective manner improving flexibility and scalability, while guaranteeing bounded delay. © 2018 IEEE.

Abstract
The advancements in information and communication technology in the past decades have been converging into a new communication paradigm in which everything is expected to be interconnected. The Internet of Things, more than a buzzword, is becoming a reality, and is finding its way into the industrial domain, enabling what is now dubbed as the Industry 4.0. Among several standards that help in enabling Industry 4.0, the IEEE 802.15.4e standard addresses requirements such as increased robustness and reliability. Although the standard seems promising, the technology is still immature and rather unproven. Also, there has been no thorough survey of the standard with emphasis on the understanding of the performance improvement in regards to the legacy protocol IEEE 802.15.4. In this survey, we aim at filling this gap by carrying out a performance analysis and thorough discussions of the main features and enhancements of IEEE 802.15.4e. We also provide a literature survey concerning the already proposed add-ons and available tools. We believe this work will help to identify the merits of IEEE 802.15.4e and to contribute towards a faster adoption of this technology as a supporting communication infrastructure for future industrial scenarios.

Abstract
The development of Metadata Application Profiles is done in several phases. According to the Me4MAP method, one of these phases is the creation of the domain model. This paper reports the validation process of a domain model developed under the project POSTDATA - Poetry Standardization and Linked Open Data. The development of the domain model ran with two steps of construction and two of validation. The validation steps drew on the participation of specialists in European poetry and the use of real resources. On the first validation we used tables with information about resources related properties and for which the experts had to fill certain fields like, for examples, the values. The second validation used a XML framework to control the input of values in the model. The validation process allowed us to find and fix flaws in the domain model that would otherwise have been passed to the Description Set Profile and possibly would only be found after implementing the application profile in a real case.
