Abstract Cyber-Manufacturing System (CMS) is an innovative factory of the future, where manufacturing information is being constantly exchanged among many entities through various computer networks including the Internet. However, CMS ushers in the unique security challenges from the sheer volume and pervasiveness of exchanged data, and increased accessibility of the system by its outsiders and insiders. Also, the connections among the physical components can reveal accessible routes into the system. This research presents a unique approach to secure CMS augmented by a Blockchain. The secure Cyber-Manufacturing System with Blockchain consists of four layers: User layer, Provider layer, Service layer, and Blockchain layer. To validate how the system enables safe communications in CMS, auditing physical data through the private blockchain was experimented on a CMS testbed. The results of three different physical data audits are compared; the system’s effectiveness is demonstrated.

Future Information

This paper is a first look at how the information infrastructure for economists will change with the arrival of the Internet. While paper has long been used for the flow of information in the profession, computer networks are starting to supplement it and, in the not-to-distant future, will replace paper. The authors examine the myriad ways in which a networked world will benefit the profession. The most exciting is the easy access to the material that lies at the heart of their profession: journals, working papers, data, and teaching.

The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) opens opportunities for handheld devices, home appliances, and software to share and communicate information on the Internet. Advances in the areas of embedded systems, computing, and networking are leading to an infrastructure composed of millions of heterogeneous devices. These devices will not simply convey information but process it in transit, connect peer to peer, and form advanced collaborations. This “Internet of Things (IoT)” infrastructure will be strongly integrated with the environment. This paper focuses on researching on the architecture and technology of Internet of Things. Moreover, the applications of Internet of Things are interpreted in this paper. We begin with general information security background of IoT and continue on with information security related challenges that IoT will encountered. Finally, we will also point out research directions that could be the future work for the solutions to the security challenges that IoT encounters. The future is Internet of Things, which will transform the real world objects into intelligent virtual objects.

Cyber-manufacturing system (CMS) offers a blueprint for future manufacturing systems in which physical components are fully integrated with computational processes in a connected environment. Similar concepts and visions have been developed to different extents and under different names—“Industrie 4.0” in Germany, “Monozukuri” in Japan, “Factories of the Future” in the EU, and “Industrial Internet” by GE. However, CMS opens a door for cyber–physical attacks on manufacturing systems. Current computer and information security methods—firewalls and intrusion detection system (IDS), etc.—cannot detect the malicious attacks in CMS with adequate response time and accuracy. Realization of the promising CMS depends on addressing cyber–physical security issues effectively. These attacks can cause physical damages to physical components—machines, equipment, parts, assemblies, products—through over-wearing, breakage, scrap parts or other changes that designers did not intend. This research proposes a conceptual design of a system to detect cyber–physical intrusions in CMS. To accomplish this objective, physical data from the manufacturing process level and production system level are integrated with cyber data from network-based and host-based IDSs. The correlations between the cyber and physical data are analyzed. Machine learning methods are adapted to detect the intrusions. Three-dimensional (3D) printing and computer numerical control (CNC) milling process are used as examples of manufacturing processes for detecting cyber–physical attacks. A cyber–physical attack scenario is presented with preliminary results to illustrate how the system can be used.

The future of labor market depends upon several factors, long-term innovation and the demographic developments. However, one of the main drivers of technological change in the future is digitalization and central to this development is the production and use of digital logic circuits and its derived technologies, including the computer,the smart phone and the Internet. Especially, smart automation will perhaps not cause e.g.regarding industries, occupations, skills, tasks and duties

The Relationship

This chapter considers the role, importance, and impact of public intellectualism on the future of qualitative research. The chapter argues that the move toward technology and the public dissemination of information via the internet requires a shift in how and what we research with an expressed intention of reaching a broader and nonacademic audience. The chapter considers the relationship between the private and public sphere, and the so-called “bastardization” of intellectualism to explain the role and rise of public intellectualism in qualitative research. By considering issues such as personal subjectivity, accountability, representation, and epistemological privilege, the chapter discusses how public contexts inform qualitative research and, conversely, how qualitative research can inform the public.

Describes a six‐year study of children’s Internet usage which shows how preferences and habits have changed over time; this was conducted by SpectraCom Inc and Circle 1 network. Explains the research methodology and the objectives, which were to identify trends in the amount of time spent by children online now and in future, their opinions about the future role of the Internet in society and the future of e‐commerce, and parents’ roles in children’s online activities. Concludes that there is need for a more child‐friendly content in Internet sites and for more parental involvement, that children will be influential in the market for alternative devices like mobile phones, that online shopping is likely to flourish, and that children have a growing interest in online banking.
