The wide-ranging expansion of smart grid networks has resulted in insurmountable difficulties that must be overcome to ensure the security and reliability of crucial energy infrastructures. The information system can be subjected to threats such as cyber-attacks or hardware malfunctioning resulting in a data integrity compromise which implies that the system will consequently not operate correctly. Anomaly detection methods that are relying on centralized data aggregation are problematic to the issues of data privacy and scalability resulting from such approaches. In this paper, we present a completely distinct approach that is based on federated learning that is employed in anomaly detectio... More >

Data fusion is a prevalent technique for assembling imperfect raw data coming from multiple sources to capture reliable and accurate information. Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is one of useful methodologies in the fusion of uncertain multisource information. The existing literature lacks a thorough and comprehensive review of the recent advances of Dempster– Shafer evidence theory for data fusion. Therefore, the state of the art has to be surveyed to gain insight into how Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is beneficial for data fusion and how it evolved over time. In this paper, we first provide a comprehensive review of data fusion methods based on Dempster–Shafer evidence theory an... More >
