Digital Twin (DT) technology is a real-time evolving digital duplicate of a physical object or process that contains all its history. It is enabled by massive real-time multi-source data collection and analysis. While 6G is considered as an enabler of digital twins, DT can also be a facilitator for integrating AI and 6G towards reliable, pervasive and efficient intelligent technologies. While the DT concept is familiar among aerospace and industrial engineers, it is a relatively new topic among electronic, electrical, computer, communications and networking engineers. For future massive-scale industrial internet-of-things (IoT) applications facilitated by DTs, a 6G network will be much more advantageous than its 5G counterpart. Digital Twins for 6G: Fundamental theory, technology and applications aims to bring together knowledge from industrial practitioners and researchers, and to introduce novel concepts that can help address the challenges associated with this interdisciplinary topic. The authors will cover fundamentals, enabling technologies, standards and advanced topics of DT and 6G to demystify the DT concept and its networking requirements and benefits, support a broader understanding of DT and its relationship with 6G to a larger audience, support learning and understanding for researchers and professionals working on 5G and 6G, and create a foundation on DT and 6G for the international research community. This book is intended to be both a tutorial of the important topics around digital twin and advanced wireless communications technologies, including 6G, as well as an advanced overview for technical professionals in the communications industry, technical managers, and researchers in both academia and industry.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of building an end-to-end view on how to architect, design, and orchestrate a 5G capable network that will integrate with 5G RAN, IP transport, datacenters, Telco Cloud, and 5G packet networks. It contains real-world examples with challenges and success strategies for deploying 5G Transport with closed-loop automation. It also focuses on aspects like scale, performance, latency, security, and manageability while building 5G transport for some of the world's largest 5G networks as well as migration approaches from 4G to 5G transport and core network. 5G is an emerging technology that mobile service providers (MNO/MVNO) across the world are embracing. They are willing to invest in enabling their infrastructure for 5G and explore new business opportunities with their enterprise/mobile customers. As per the Gartner survey, the majority of communication service provider (CSP) revenue will come from 5G. 5G is going to open the door to new applications such as wireless virtual reality, low latency machine-to-machine communication, smart city infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, IoT deployment, artificial intelligence-based applications, industrial automation and so much more. 5G is not merely mobile technology evolution, but the breadth is extended beyond mobile communication to address all forms of communication and its enabling new services and enhancing existing services like enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), critical communications (CC) and ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), massive Internet of Things (mIoT) and flexible network operations. 5G architecture brings a drastic change from radio network to IP transport and mobile packets core for mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs).

This 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 supervisor’s input of the supervisor) or in the command channel (i.e., the supervisor’s 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.

This book provides an overview of the many approaches that can adopted for programming and deploying highly-adaptive and large-scale IoT systems, with a specific focus on the key results achieved within the Fluidware research project. The authors start by presenting Fluidware, which develops a novel programming model for IoT services and applications, along with the associated and robust large-scale IoT services and applications. Starting from previous findings in the areas of field-based coordination, collective adaptive systems, stream computing and aggregate computing, the authors address the complexity of building modern, large-scale IoT systems, by a full-fledged engineering approach revolving around a new notion of distributed programming. The authors show how the key innovative idea of Fluidware is to abstract collectives of devices of the IoT fabric as sources, digesters, and targets of distributed "flows" of contextualized events, carrying information about data produced and actuating commands. The book is divided into three parts: (i) the first part is a general introduction to the Fluidware ideas and to the key problems associated with programming IoT systems, (ii) the second part presents the key results achieved within the Fluidware project; (iii) the third part identified open challenges and research directions. However, IoT applications and services can be hard to program and deploy. Indeed, services and applications for the IoT may involve composing and coordinating myriads of heterogeneous devices, typically dispersed over an environment. In the above context, the IoT research community worldwide started putting notable investigation efforts toward the identification of novel programming approaches for IoT applications that could make it possible to deal with the above sources of complexity automatically and rather enable programmers to easily program and deploy flexible and adaptive applications, enabling to express in full the potentials of the IoT fabric.
