A generic self-evolving multi-agent approach is proposed in this chapter. Most of the existing security approaches are custom designed for specific threats and attacks. However, the fusion of technologies and systems in the fourth industrial revolution and therefore the nature of its current cyber environment increasingly attracts multiple cyber threats in a single interface. In order to solve this problem, a generic self-evolving multi-agent approach is proposed. Multiple agents interact with each other in light of their reactions towards the environment and its inherent changes. Information from individual agents is collected and integrated to form the abstract compartment of the structure. The important aspects are analyzed including demonstrating how the abstract domain can be obtained from the custom interactions at the low-level domain of the proposed approach. The analysis explores the existing works in the area and how they have been advanced in the fourth industrial revolution.

RESUMOA Indústria 4.0 é um tema em ascensão tanto no meio acadêmico como no contexto prático de empresas. As pesquisas atuais focam seus esforços nos estudos dos benefícios dos conceitos e tecnologias envolvidos no conceito da Quarta Revolução Industrial, no entanto, poucas procuram entender quais os pontos negativos. Dessa forma, através de uma revisão bibliográfica sistematizada realizada em janeiro de 2019, esse estudo procura entender quais são riscos em evidência na literatura que empresas do setor industrial podem enfrentar no contexto da Indústria 4.0. Foram selecionados 66 artigos através das bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science, os quais foram bibliometricamente estudados em relação aos autores e periódicos mais relevantes. Em seguida, estudando os 28 riscos mapeados na literatura por Soltovski et al. (2019), foi possível entender quais são mais representativos na literatura na perspectiva da sustentabilidade (ambiental, econômico e social) e na perspectiva tecnológica. De forma geral, descobrimos que os riscos relacionados à conectividade, como cyber atacks e vazamento de dados privados através de tecnologias, como Internet das Coisas, são os mais discutidos na literatura. Além disso, constatamos que existe carência de estudos na perspectiva ambiental e econômica. Por fim, foram sumarizadas contribuições gerenciais e potenciais direcionamentos para futuros pesquisadores.Palavras-chave: Indústria 4.0. Sustentabilidade. Gestão de Risco. ABSTRACTIndustry 4.0 is a growing topic, both in academia and in the practical context of companies. Current research focuses its efforts on studies of benefits and technologies involved in the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, however, they rarely understand what the negative points are. Thus, through a systematic literature review conducted in January 2019, this study can understand what are the risks in evidence in the literature that companies in the industrial sector may face in the context of Industry 4.0. 66 articles were selected on the Scopus and Web of Science databases, which are the bibliometrically studied in relation to the most relevant authors and journals. Then, studying the 28 risks mapped in the literature by Soltovski et al. (2019), it was possible to understand which are the most representative in the literature from the perspective of sustainability (environmental, economic and social) and from a technological perspective. In general, we found that risks related to connectivity such as cyber attacks and data leakage are using technologies like the Internet of Things that are most discussed in the literature. In addition, we note that there is a lack of studies from an environmental and economic perspective. Finally, managerial contributions were summarized and directed to future researchers.Keywords: Industry 4.0. Sustainability. Risk Management.

AbstractWe introduce theasprilo1framework to facilitate experimental studies of approaches addressing complex dynamic applications. For this purpose, we have chosen the domain of robotic intra-logistics. This domain is not only highly relevant in the context of today's fourth industrial revolution but it moreover combines a multitude of challenging issues within a single uniform framework. This includes multi-agent planning, reasoning about action, change, resources, strategies, etc. In return,aspriloallows users to study alternative solutions as regards effectiveness and scalability. Althoughasprilorelies on Answer Set Programming and Python, it is readily usable by any system complying with its fact-oriented interface format. This makes it attractive for benchmarking and teaching well beyond logic programming. More precisely,aspriloconsists of a versatile benchmark generator, solution checker and visualizer as well as a bunch of reference encodings featuring various ASP techniques. Importantly, the visualizer's animation capabilities are indispensable for complex scenarios like intra-logistics in order to inspect valid as well as invalid solution candidates. Also, it allows for graphically editing benchmark layouts that can be used as a basis for generating benchmark suites.

Fourth Industrial Revolution

Modern civilisation has entered the era of the fourth industrial revolution, characterised by digital, Internet and cyber-expansion, virtualisation, mobile technologies, robotisation, global changes in energy, nano- and biotechnologies. It entails significant changes in all spheres of human activity. There is a mass need for entirely new professions. Scientific and technological progress gives the society not only broad prospects but also brings new challenges and threats. There is a tight (not always fair) competition between the leading countries of the world and transnational corporations for domination in entering the sixth technological order, to lead in digital technologies and artificial intelligence. At this stage, educational systems should provide revolutionary changes based on the latest scientific achievements. One more dangerous threat is that the achievements of modern science and high technologies are not always used for the benefit of humanity, that is, large-scale cyber-attacks, hybrid wars, public consciousness manipulation. Form this point, the formation of a single global educational space, taking into account the humanistic needs of the society, seems really important. The fourth industrial revolution leads to personality changes and not always in a positive direction. This is especially true of the generation “Y” or “network generation”, consuming “intellectual fast food” and easily falling under the influence of others and becoming a victim of manipulation. It also includes the problem of virtual reality, which influences the person so profoundly that he/she falls out of the real world. Obviously, education must also undergo a systemic transformation, based on the characteristics of the modern information society and the globalising world that has entered the postmodern and mass media era. The issues mentioned above are deeply and critically analysed and discussed in this study both from the global and BRICS (precisely Russia) countries perspective. The authors eventually suggest some ways to solve them.

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the major technologies in this Fourth Industrial Revolution, which aims to function in an intelligent manner in various application domains, e.g., intelligent cybersecurity management. Popular AI techniques that include machine learning and deep learning methods, natural language processing, the concept of knowledge representation, and knowledge or rule-based expert systems, can be used to intelligently tackle today's diverse cybersecurity problems according to the needs. Based on these AI techniques, in this paper, we aim to present a comprehensive view on \textit{AI-driven cybersecurity} in terms of concepts, extracting security insights, and eventually security intelligence modeling that can play significant role to solve various cybersecurity tasks such as identifying malicious activities, predicting cyber-attacks, access control, intrusions or anomaly detection etc. Thus, the concept of AI-based security modeling could make the cybersecurity computing process more intelligent and automated than the traditional ones. Based on our study, finally, we highlight several \textit{research issues and future directions} within the area of AI-driven cybersecurity. Overall, the ultimate goal of this paper is to serve as a reference point and guidelines for the cybersecurity professionals as well as the researchers in this work domain, particularly from the technical point of view.

The Internet Of Things

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is seen as a digital one, extending the previous information revolution. This is exhibited by the pervasive connectivity of many smart devices, known as the internet of things (IoT). The data generated and access created by these devices provides opportunities in an information warfare context by providing new avenues of attack and abilities to enhance existing capabilities. Recent cyber-attacks have illustrated the relevance of IoT to cyber-operations. However, IoT can influence information warfare through the use of drones, the extent of network-centric operations, and other factors. The major impact of IoT is the increased attack surface and techniques available, and opportunities for data gathering.
