ABSTRACT
Large-scale cyber-physical substructures, such as the Smart Power Grid, are future as some of the core
rudiments of the future Internet of Gears. These serious substructures transfer additional and more
elsewhere federal supervision and control by system machinists and commissioners. Overcapacity and
disappointments in the Smart Power Grid impend the identical of demand-supply expressly when new
evolving technologies are combined such as micro-generation, renewable energy resources and electrical
vehicles. The addition of these technologies in the Smart Power Grid types the impression of Internet ofGears highly appropriate in the energy field. The introduction of automated and distributed protection
mechanisms entails embedded control rudiments that perform structural reconfigurations themselves in a
spatially distributed situation. The dynamic input and output binding between such control rudiments is an
instance of an association reconfiguration that is conventionally achieved offline during the design phase
of a cyber-physical system. An presented computational intelligence for the resolution of such structural
control reconfigurations involves the interoperation with the rest of the control logic through runtime. This
papers hows a model that types this interoperation potential: ALSOS-ICS, the Application-level Self-
Organization Services for Internet-scale Control Systems. Four incremental protection levels for the
robustness of the Smart Power Grid show the rations of structural control reconfigurations and the
applicability of ALSOS-ICS in this area.

1. INTRODUCTION
Cyber-physical schemes within the Internet of Gears are constructed by physical and softwarerudiments of embedded control whose group has conventionally been an offline design feature.
Input and output (I/O) of control rudiments are destined physically to procedure the control loops
of a control presentation [1]. This is a design phase that is typically not automated and transpires
formerly system runtime [2]. Yet, the Internet of Gearsentail online and automated structuralcontrol reconfigurations as cyber-physical systems balance and their rudiments develop additional
consistent, distributed and communicating. Reconfigurations develop an integral part of thecomputational intelligence that control rudiments should have. In this case, structural control
resources that the response control loops molded by the I/O compulsory of the control rudimentsare controlled within a large-scale networked and distributed location of Internet of Gears.
Network concept, fault-tolerance, potential, limited connectivity and communal possessions arecertain of the challenges that need to be addressed [3]. Presenting and demonstrating dynamic
reconfigurations of the operational control in an Internet-scale control system is challenging. This
is since the physical resources of a cyber-physical system interoperate created on I/O signals and

response loops, while, distributed software essentials are frequently occasion created,information-driven and are assembled by abundant coatings of network concept.
This modeling slit presents several addition and interoperation problems that are recognized in
works [3,4]. Cyber-physical systems without operational control reconfigurations cannot
provision the developing application rations of Internet of Gears. Hence, the modeling of
operational control reconfigurations is significant and connects together of these associated studyparts [5]. a modeling approach of operational control reconfigurations in the presentation area of
the Smart Power Grid. This is a critical solicitation domain for the Internet of Gears as a large
number of physical and software resources of the outdated electrical grid develop additional
interconnected, intelligent and self-aware of socio-technical issues that directive their design and
operation [6].
The protection of the Smart Power Grid from overloading or failures is a serious condition thatincludes several operational control reconfigurations such as regulating the load of a power line,
switching the power flow to alternate distribution lines, turning on gridlock generators andreinstating the system subsequently a black-out. These reconfigurations are synchronized
physically by proficient systems operators maintained by frequently centralized data acquirement
information systems [7]. This method is limited and cannot continue as a long-term resolution inthe future Smart Power Grid. The overview of micro-generation, renewable energy properties and
electrical vehicles are some instances that designate the future experiment and difficulty ofidenticall request and source inside a robust and dynamic Smart Power Grid. Hence operational
control reconfigurations in an location of Internet of Gears need to be dynamic, automated and
synchronized by the computational intelligence of control principles intelligent to interoperate forthis resolution.
2. DYNAMIC I/O BINDING RECONFIGURATIONS
Two control essentials are destined if around is at minimum one output from the first control
module wired to the input of a second control module. A required reconfiguration is clear by therenovating of the input/output of a control module to a different output/input individually of the
similar or of additional control module. A dynamic required reconfiguration means that thisrenovating is automated through system operation (online) with a minimum or inattentive
centralized interference. Dynamic I/O required reconfiguration involves system rudiments thatshould be accomplished to achieve these reconfigurations and should be intelligent to interoperate
with the rest of system control logic. Surviving solutions afford an offline [2], external [8] and/orcentralized [9,10,11] configuration of I/O bindings. Our previous work [12] presents a model for
application-level reconfiguration of dynamic I/O required in Internet-scale control systems that is
mentioned to in this paper as ALSOS-ICS, the Application-Level Self-Organization Facilities in
Internet scale Control Systems. This model presents a new type of control application that
delivers reconfiguration facilities for dynamic I/O binding to other control applications.
This type of control application is modeled as a control system, assembled by control rudiments
that are intelligent to network with additional control rudiments of the same API but realized for a
different application opportunity. This method permits a advanced interoperability and modularityamid control applications and a higher flexibility, integration and applicability of dynamic I/O
required reconfigurations in the area of cyber-physical systems and Internet of Gears. ALSOS-ICS is collected of three types of control rudiments: (i) the I/O discovery sensor, (ii) the I/O
decision controller and (iii) the I/O reconfiguration actuator.

These rudiments are destined to all other and also to rudiments that constitute a dissimilar controlsolicitation. The advanced application is the one that involvements dynamic I/O binding
capabilities if by an ALSOS-ICS control application. The I/O discovery sensor senses for
conceivable I/O bindings and outputs these imaginable bindings to the I/O resolution controller.
The prospect of gossip-based detection sensors is conversed in our previous work [12]. The I/O
conclusion controller chooses to add or remove I/O bindings based on the objectives of the
control application that ALSOSICS ropes. These purposes may be signified as a suitabilitypurpose or high-level commercial rules and policies. The added and uninvolved I/O bindings are
the output to the I/O reconfiguration actuator that adapts the I/O binding of the aided control
solicitation.
The connector of ALSOS-ICS with control solicitations can be done at dissimilar planes as shownin our previous work [12]: (i) system-level, (ii) node-level and (iii) module-level. This paper
shows additional exactly the application of these levels in the Smart Power Grid. Figure 1 showsan indication of ALSOSICS and its coupling to the Smart Power Grid. In the system-level
coupling, ALSOS-ICS is linked to a Distribution Automation System (DAS) that may achieveseveral system optimizations such as power current optimization [13], protected fault isolation
[14] etc. Data acquisition is, to an magnitude, centralized. A node-level distribution of ALSOS-
ICS distributes I/O binding control over the Smart Power Grid at different control points such aspower lines, substations, etc. As of a advanced devolution in node-level associated to system-
level, the ALSOS-ICS control rudimentsentail in this situation additional complex networks thatassurance access to remote information. Finally, coupling ALSOSICS at the module-level
presents dynamic I/O binding control at the very low-end control rudiments of the Smart Power
Grid.
3. APPLICATION DEVELOPMENTS
The Smart Power Grid may contribution several (cascading) system failures or malfunctions such
as overloaded power lines, failures of power lines, physical disasters, demand-supply inequities or
black-outs. These actions need a broad range of system reconfigurations and maintenances toassurance robustness and aincessant system obtain ability of the Smart Power Grid. Power
reconfigurations that prevent system failures or curtail their influence by dividing them,need aretro of time to be practical, contingent on the type of reconfiguration. Time is a critical factor for
the deterrence of system failures or the minimization of their influence by, for instance, isolatingthese failures. System operators cannot repeatedly type optimum assumptions mainly when
multiple transmission lines are affected concurrently. Automated and dynamic I/O bindingreconfigurations are obligatory to stabilize the operation of the Smart Power Grid by
computational intelligence embedded in control rudiments.

Fig. 1 Positioning of ALSOS-ICS in the context of the Smart Power Grid
This four application developments that composed propose an incremental four-level protection
approach based on dynamic I/O binding reconfigurations. The purpose of these application
developments is not to contemporary a new actual protection mechanism but to underline the
position of dynamic I/O binding requirements for the robustness of the Smart Power Grid. Thefour levels of Smart Power Grid reconfigurations are the following:
1. Dynamic load-balancing of power lines: Power flow may exceed the capacity of optimisticpower lines when demand surges or neighboring power lines fail. Rerouting power to alternative
analogous power lines involves rapid I/O binding reconfigurations to avoid cascading failures to aconvinced magnitude.
2. Dynamic switching of power flow: Generation, transmission and principally distributionnetworks are maintained by several gridlock power lines and switches that deliver alternate power
flow of the load assisted by a substation but too among dissimilar substations. Arrangementdisappointments and maintenance can be achieved by dynamic and automated I/O binding
reconfigurations of power lines and switches in its place of physical arrangements by system
machinists.
3. Dynamic allocation of operating reserves: Demand-supply imbalances due to system failures ora sudden demand peak require system scaling. Operating reserves are back-up power generation
that can be made available within a varied time span depending on various technical constraints.Dynamic I/O binding reconfigurations are required to activate/deactivate operating reserves for a
given system situation.4. Dynamic restoration after blackout: If a system failure arises despite the above mentioned
protection arrangements, the power system is the restoration of the system back to its normal
operation is challenging. Any place should be integrated again, generators should be activated
steadily and this activation should be synchronized with the rest of the generation obtainable in
the system.This four-level protection approach can be realized by one or more cyber physical control
applications built by three types of control rudiments bound in an overlay network (application
graph):
a. Load sensor: This control module monitors load information from several physical resources of
the Smart Power Grid. It is certain to protection controllers to provide them with the essential
information.

b. Protection controller: This control module synchronizes the stabilizations obligatory to securitythe protection and robustness of the Smart Power Grid.
c. Stabilization actuator: This control module regulates the operation of several fundamental
physical resources that subsidize to the stabilization of the Smart Power Grid.
The power supply required for the overlay network to purpose is central and is designed to be
independent of the state in the primary structure. This can be technically accomplished by theconvenience of dedicated small-scale backup generators or the utilization of batteries [15]. This
section shows the dynamic I/O binding requirements and services that such a control solicitation
can meet and consume respectively by using ALSOS-ICS.
3.1. DYNAMIC LOAD-BALANCING OF POWER LINES
This is the first level of dynamic reconfigurations functional for the deterrence of flowing and
other failures. It anxieties the load-balancing of power lines positioned in parallel within the
generation and transmission system. If a deeply loaded line transmits an additional power load,this additional load can be rerouted to another under loaded power line positioned in parallel.
This load rerouting is possible in two ways: (i) Shifting the phase angle amid the voltages in the
nodes together to a power line or (ii) altering the line impedance. The first method is technicallyconceivable via a phase shifting transformer device chiefly used for the load-balancing of powerlines [16,17]. The second method is possible via a thyristor controlled series capacitor [18,19].
This device is mostly used for minimizing power oscillations. Other additional complex devicesthat combine these two functionalities with supplementary topographies are projected in works
[20,21] resulting in improved stability of power lines.
Figure 2 shows the concept of load-balancing amid two power lines. When the power of a linespreads its capacity of 100 units, power balancing is achieved by switching 20 units to a line with
power flow of 70 units and capacity of 130 units. These 20 units are the result of any the
alteration in the voltage phase angle or in the impedance of the power line. Note that, from an
engineering point of observation, these modifications can be accomplished rapidly. Though, thebalancing recompense that can be attained is connected to the technical specification of the lines
and therefore this approach has limitations. These limitations are out of the possibility of thispaper and are discussed in related work [16,17,18,19].

Fig. 3 The overlay network of control rudiments that balances the load between parallel transmission lines
Figure 3 shows the destined control principles that achieve the load-balancing of transmission
lines. Note that the control principles are bound in an overlay network that accomplishes theinformation produced by the physical resources of the transmission lines.
The load sensors in each power line output the load information to the protection controllers of
the end-to-end nodes. Based on this info, the balancing controllers execute decision-making
approximately the power rerouting. This result is implemented by a maintenance actuator that
controls the phase angle or the impedance of its controlled power line. More exactly, theinformation about the rerouted load is translated by the stabilization actuator to an actual
configuration in the phase shifting transformer or the thyristor controlled series capacitor.This isbecause a load balancing action should not cause an overload to other power lines in the
transmission topology. Therefore, the protection controllers require an on-demand dynamic I/Obinding provided by an ALSOS-ICS control application. Both (i) the I/O binding control
application and (ii) the load-balancing control application are realized by embedded softwarecontrol rudiments and so interoperation between these two control applications is potential.
3.2. DYNAMIC SWITCHING OF POWER FLOW
A generation and transmission system as well as (ii) a distribution system, power is potential to
flow in different methods. This is vital for (i) the protection of the power grid [22] and (ii) itsoptimization based on market strategies or economic and environmental policies [23,24]. One
way to control the power flow is by switching the power flow on or off amid dissimilar nodes in atopology, e.g. in the topology of the distribution system. Switching is technically possible by
using relays, switches, circuit breakers or recloses [22]. Switching provides some form ofseverance or flexibility as power can be through accessible via alternative distribution paths. This
provides the alternative to perform some serious operations [22,1] such as (i) system clearance,

maintenance, repair or construction, (ii) load-balancing and (iii) system restoration afterblackouts.
Fig. 4: Dynamic switching guarantees the power delivery in the loads of a distribution system
Once a failure of power lines occurs. One or additional switches can close enabling a load to draw
power from a adjacent control area that is aided by a different feeder. Control essentials aredynamically bound with each additional to manage the dynamic switching of power flow.
Figure 4 shows a dynamic switching situation in a distribution system. The topology involves ofnodes that signify loads, such as households, that draw power from exact feeders that are
connected to substations. The control of the distribution system is hierarchical and isaccomplished by nested control areas [22] (i) A substation defines its control area, (ii) within
which the feeders have their own control areas, (iii) within which feeder lines may too form their
own control area. So, the distribution system can be controlled at dissimilar granularity levels. For
design drives, Figure 4 focuses only on the control areas clear by the feeders. Adopt that a
number of simple closed switches can transfer power amid loads (i) within a control area and (ii)
between different control areas. The switches are configured at on or off according to a system
optimization [22,23,24]. This optimization securities that all loads are aided and that there are nooverloaded feeder lines.Though, as it is stated be forehand, failures may happen due to demand
peaks, physical disasters or even cyber-attacks in the power grid. Failures result in power outage
in one or more households and may even cascade and cause new failures in the distribution
system. A coordinated switching of power flow is required to stabilize the distribution system.Note that an automated control of switches is possible via pole-top remote terminal units (RTUs)
[25].
Control rudiments undertake this coordination by dynamically binding themselves to control theswitches and, therefore, manage the power flow in a distribution system. Load sensors monitor
the power flowing in a power line. This info is output to the protection controller of the feedercontrol area. If a failure is detected by this controller based on the input load information, an
alternative power flow needs to be discovered and utilized. Protection controllers are dynamically
bound and communicate to guarantee that switching of power flow does not influence other parts

22
of the system. Next, the protection controller of the affected control area is dynamically boundwith stabilization actuators that control switches within the same control area and in neighboring
ones. These switches are turned on for a period of time to deliver power to the affected
households. This binding configuration may last as long as the failures occur and during
repair/maintenance operations. Physical actions by system operators are not required as long as
the protection controllers are able to organize the switching of the power flow.
3.3. DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF OPERATING RESERVES
There are power lines that do not maintenance the technology for power balancing or do not have
automated switches. Also, load-balancing has its limits particularly when the power demand
increases and supplementary power supply is needed in the system. Gridlock generation is
essential in the power setup to match supply and demand without instigating cascading failures by
overloaded power lines. This backup generation is the operating reserves ofa power grid.
Usually, an operating standby is a generating power capacity presented on demand to the systemoperator within a period of time. An operating standby is usually activated to meet power demand
in case of system disturbances, such as power line failures or system maintenance. While there
are several operating assets that match different system requirements, two main types of operatingstandby are used by system operators [26]:
a. Spinning reserve: This is supplementary synchronized generated capacity obtainable in thesystem by increasing the power output of the online power generators. Spinning standby can too
mention to receptive loads as a result of demand-side energy supervision [27,28].
b. Non-spinning reserve: This is supplementary non-synchronized generated capacity that can bemade available to the system by offline power generators within a longer retro of time than
spinning standby. The power exchanged via power flow gates amid different transmission zones
is also a system of non-spinning standby.
Figure 5 shows a simplified diagram of spinning and non-spinning assets. This additional
capacity can be made presented within 10 minutes approximately for a period of approximately30 minutes conditional on the type of standby and the technical topographies of the physical
resources that enable it [29]. Failures of power lines and cascading failures can be prohibited byindicating the point where the supplementary power is injected. For example, if the power lines
adjacent in the main power supply of Figure 5 cannot support the extra power of spinningstandby, an alternative standby that is end-to-end to lines with higher capacity can be designated.
Also, offline power generators have a varying startup time that is too related to the actual power
activated, mentioned to as slope frequency [29]. Multiple assets can be activated and combined to
confirm the robustness of power transmission. Finally note that the traditional spinning standby is
usually additional expensive than the non-spinning one and consequently the cost can also be a
assortment issue.
Operating standby is traditionally activated physically by system operators as arranged offline by
market indentures [29]. As Smart Power Grids scale and develops additional complex anddynamic, failures and their cascading effects cannot be managed by system operators. An online,
automated and dynamic allocation of operating assets is required. So, this section proposes thedynamic allocation of operating assets by software embedded control systems. Figure 6 shows the
control fundamentals of a power line that is protected by three operating assets: (i) A spinningstandby in the supply node, (ii) a second spinning standby that acts as a receptive load enabled by
a demand-side energy management mechanism and (iii) a non-Spinning standby that remains

offline under normal system operation. All power line and node, including the ones of the non-spinning assets, has a load sensor and a protection controller individually. Also, all node that acts
as an operating standby has a stabilization actuator that activates and deactivates the operating
standby. The protection controllers, that are adjacent to an overloaded power line, check if a first-
level reconfiguration is possible and adequate to balance the load of the affected power line. If the
first-level reconfiguration cannot be applied, the protection controllers either activate their local
reserve, if they have one, or coordinate with other remote protection controllers the allocation oftheir assets.
Fig. 5 A power system with different operating reserves
Dynamic binding is required between the remote protection controllers to synchronize the
activation of operating assets in a cost-effective method. Additionally, if a non-spinning standbyis activated, the load sensor of its end-to-end power lines may need to be dynamically bound with
the other end-to-end nodes. An ALSOS-ICS application can do this facility by inter-operating and
arranging the I/O bindings in the control application of dynamically allocated operating assets.

3.4. DYNAMIC RESTORATION AFTER BLACKOUT
The transmission and distribution system is gathered in one or additional place that cannot
conversation power due to failed power lines or nodes. These failures may be remote or
cascading. The concluding is the key source of blackouts in power systems. Throughout acascading failure, a power flow is forced to a rerouting that makes other lines and nodesoverloaded and failing. This failing procedure is recursive. The system restoration after such a
condition is highly complex. A modest and arbitrary restoration of the failed units does notsecurity the system restoration back to normal operation. Demand draws the power that is made
presented after restoration causing a new failure. Synchronization is essential during therestoration process by interconnecting the synchronizing the power flow that is complete
presented after a blackout. This management means that the I/O binding of the cyber-physicalcontrol principles should be adjusted dynamically during this process. Current restoration
methods are principally achieved by system operators that apply manual actions based on their
involvement [7].
Figure 7 shows an instance of synchronization performed for the restoration of a system after a
blackout. Note that this situation adopts that there is available reserved power for the controlrudiments to perform their control tasks. So, the overlay network of the control rudiments is
eager, connected and manageable compared to the affected physical setup. A modest cascading
failure causes this blackout. The system, in which the events occur, is numbered and shown inorder as follows: First, an unexpected failure occurs to one of the generators that Causes (i) a
lower power inoculation in the system and (ii) the absence of its adjacent transmission lines
(event #1). Since of this failure, two events monitor: (i) The power of the second generator is
redirected to its second power line and (ii) the spinning standby of the second generator isactivated. The activation occurs since of the frequency drop that the failure of the first generator
sources (event #2). This increased load makes a second node overloaded and failing (event #3).

This cascading failure clusters the power network. A blackout has occurred and the system needsto be restored in a synchronized and opportune mode.
Fig. 7: A sequence of coordination actions for a blackout restoration
The goal of the restoration approach is to interconnect the substation that resulted after the
blackout. This can be attained by retrogressive the overload in the failing node. Three
arrangements are applied: (i) Activation of spinning standby using demand-side energy
management (event #4), (ii) activation of non-spinning standby by turning on a backup generator(event #5) and (iii) adjusting the generation in A to restore the failed node (event #6). After
these actions, the substation are again interconnected (event #7). Though, the activated non-
spinning standby cannot run for extended and it is an exclusive power source. So, power isimported from a neighboring zone via a flow gate that interconnects the two zones (event #8). At
the same time, the non-spinning standby turns off (event #9), the initial power generation is
stabilized (event #10) and demand is fully aided over (event #11). These arrangements whole thesystem restoration. Later on, if the failed generator is fixed, new alterations can be applied toremove the power dependency from the bordering transmission zone.
All these arrangements should be implemented in a convinced priority and timely method.
Synchronization is vital. For example, the generator in A should be dynamically bound to theback-up generator in B to coordinate and adjust the allocation of power that will enable the
overloaded node to be obtainable again and interconnect the two substation. If arrangements arenot synchronized, then new failures may occur that may result in more isolated that cannot be
energized. For this reason, an situation in the physical layer should not be reflected in the overlay
network of control rudiments. The overlay network should continue connected and allow thecontrol rudiments of ALSOS-ICS to inter-communicate between different place and then supportthe synchronization and restorations arrangements. Note that, as mentioned in Section 2, a
conversing protocol implementation for the I/O detection sensors is a significant high-quality inthis case. Conversing builds and maintains a dynamic well connected and non-clustered overlay
network that remnants robust even in case of disastrous failures [30]. Note that, dynamic blackoutrestoration arrangements are based on dynamic load balancing of power lines, switching of power

flow and allocation of operating assets. So, more effective mechanisms for blackout preventionsupport additional operative blackout restoration in case it occurs.
4. DISCUSSIONS
The protection of the power grid is a highly inspiring and complex problem that should bedisintegrated and achieved at different levels. This paper shows coordination scenarios withinfour incremental Smart Power Grid protection levels. The protection supplies in all situation are
conventionally content by experienced system operators that apply manual arrangements aided bycentralized data acquisition and supervisory systems. Yet, as micro-generation scales and
develops additional decentralized, such an methodology converts cost-ineffective. A higher level
of automation is essential, which resources that control rudiments supervision several physical
properties need to converted additional interactive and intelligent. Distributed computational
intelligence involves a situational awareness that can be attributed to a system if and only if its
rudiments have the potential to be dynamically bound with all other on-demand. Deprived of
dynamic I/O binding of control rudiments, coordination cannot always be achieved. This isaccurately what the four incremental situations for the protection of the Smart Power Grid show.
For example, binding an offline generator to the rest of the control rudiments when operating
reserves are utilized is essential to control and synchronize the injected power flow in the system.Without such a binding, a protection measure may cause new cascading failures.
The modeling approach of ALSOS-ICS couples dynamic I/O binding capabilities with the rest ofthe control logic of a cyber-physical system. he Internet of Gears requires reconfigurable physical
and software control essentials that ALSOSICS can dynamically bind and organize. ALSOS-ICScontrol rudiments are able to interoperate as a control application with the rest of the control
rudiments. This difference proposes a split of apprehensions for system developers, yet, thesetting remains within control systems of Internet of Gears and their solicitations. Additional
specifically, ALSOS-ICS developers, extending the work of application integrators, build control
rudiments that provide dynamic I/O binding capabilities to additional set of control rudiments,
developed by domain-experts that embed the key control application logic. In the four applicationsetups shown in Section 3, the main domain-expert developer has knowledge about the protection
of the Smart Power Grid, and additional exactly about the available repair and maintenancemechanisms.
This inventor delivers the load-sensors, protection controllers and stabilization actuators. It adopts
a certain level of interaction and communication capabilities that ALSOS-ICS developers exposevia, for instance, interfaces. The actual I/O binding discovery, assortment and reconfiguration is
moved by the control rudiments of ALSOS-ICS developed by network communication
professionals.
5. CONCLUSIONS
This application setups of operational control reconfigurations for the robustness of the Smart
Power Grid. Each of these setups involves some degree of coordination amid control rudimentsthat achieve various physical assets. With the appearance of micro-generation and renewableresources, matching supply and demand becomes challenging with an impact on the robustness of
the power grid. Coordination needs to evolve beyond the control of system operators, develop
additional automated, decentralized and adaptable by control rudiments.
The synchronization and computational intelligence of control rudiments entails capabilities for
dynamic binding reconfigurations in this instance. Dynamic binding reconfigurations required for

applications of the Internet of Gears can be modeled as a control application using the ALSOS-ICS model summarized in this paper. ALSOS-ICS allows a higher interoperation and modularity
amid control applications and a higher flexibility, integration and applicability of dynamic
binding reconfigurations in the domains of the Internet-scale cyber-physical control systems.
Operational control reconfigurations are vital in other application domains beyond the Smart
Power Grid. ALSOS-ICS is application-independent and therefore various domains of Internet of
Things, such as transportation systems, air vehicles etc.
