Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
This special issue is dedicated to Innovations for Community Services. The issue highlights papers selected from the presentations given during the 2014 14th International Conference on Innovations for Community Services (I4CS), held in Reims, France, June, 2014. The goal of this conference was to bring together researchers, professionals and practitioners at all levels, including students, faculty and research scholars in order to share and exchange original research ideas on Innovations on Community Services. It is a collection of five papers which cover a various subjects in Technologies of Distributed architectures and frameworks ; on applications about communities on the move and socialization about ambient work and living. The motto of the 14th I4CS conference was “Technologies for Everyone”. A broad overview of each paper is included below. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely used for monitoring and control of Industrial Control System (ICS) of national critical infrastructures, including the emerging energy system, transportation system, gas and water systems, and so on. Generally, ICS is comprised of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) with Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), a telemetry system, a Human Machine Interface (HMI) and a supervisory (computer) system. In a SCADA based ICS, communication infrastructures connect the supervisory (computer) systems and the RTUs. The primary objective of a SCADA system is to control real-life physical equipment and devices, e.g., energy system SCADA may be used for monitoring and control of the generation plants.
