	abstract = {Smart Grid (SG) systems are critical, intelligent infrastructure utility services connected through open networks that are potentially susceptible to cyber-attacks with very acute security risks of shutdown, loss of life, and loss of revenue. Traditional intrusion detection systems based on signature and anomaly techniques are no longer sufficient to protect SGs due to their new connectivity and management challenges, the ever-rapidly-evolving masquerades, and cyber criminality levied against them. SGs require cyber-security systems to render them resilient and protected through advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) techniques and mechanisms. This paper proposes a smart collaborative advanced IDPS to provide the best possible protection of SGs with a fully distributed management structure that supports the network and host based detections and the prevention of attacks. By facilitating a reliable, scalable, and flexible design, the specific requirements of IDPS for SGs can be more easily met via a fuzzy risk analyzer, an independent and ontology knowledge based inference engine module. These can work collaboratively by managing functions across multiple IDPS domains. A set of extensive and intensive simulated experiments shows that with its smart advanced components incorporating soft computing machine-learning techniques and a rich ontology knowledge base with fuzzy logic analysis, it detects and prevents intrusions more efficiently. The multi-faceted results of the simulation also show that the proposed Collaborative Smart IDPS (CSIDPS) system increases the intrusion detection accuracy and decreases the false positive alarms when compared to traditional IDPSs. This is epitomized by the skillful use of the confusion matrix technique for organizing classifiers, visualizing their performance, and assessing their overall behavior. In the final analysis, the CSIDPS architecture is designed toward contributing to de facto norms for SG ecosystems. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

In general, such cooperation is ensured by building network collaboration between entities who want to collaborate. In spite of the existence of a number of works interested in collaboration network, only few of them were focused on how to construct a network. In this paper, we address this topic through Actor Network Theory. In particular way, we analyze interessement phase of ANT from a cooperative game point of view. Indeed, it{\textquoteright}s about negotiations between actors involved in business project. Our objective is to propose an approach of network establishment, by inciting actors through cost savings. For that, we use Shapley Value to answer the question: Which coalitions are likely to form in order to ensure best cost-saving objectives in ANT mode of collaboration? We propose also a graphical tool for visualizing networks and simulating their evolution.},

Semantically enriched Web services promise to increase the level of automation and to reduce integration efforts significantly. On the other hand, and due to the heterogeneous structure of the public sector, the achievement of interoperability and integration is a key challenge for a comprehensive e-Government. Therefore, the combination of e-Government and Semantic Web Services is very much natural. In this paper, we present a dynamic approach for semantically composing e-Government Web services based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The overall objective of our approach is to improve the citizen centric e-Government vision by providing a platform for automatically discovering, composing and optimizing e-Government services.},

	abstract = {Reactive Multi-Agent system (RMAS) has emerged as an attractive technology for the design and implementation of distributed and cooperative systems. The RMAS main challenge is how to clearly identify its local and global behavior. Several approaches have been introduced to deal with behavioral specification of RMAS. However, there is a lack in the specification and verification process that facilitates understanding the system from goals identification that the system expects to achieve to formal verification of system properties. In this paper, we are interested to the specification problem of Reactive Multi-Agent System (RMAS) for both individual and collective behavior by taking into account two modes of specification: normal mode and fault-tolerance mode. To do so, we propose a method called BECAMEDA (Behavioral SpEcification and VerifiCAtion of RMAS based on E-MDRA) for the specification and verification of reactive Multi-agent system based on the MDRA (Multi-Decisional Reactive Agent) models. The MDRA specifies the reactive agent behavior by highlighting the decisional aspect of the agent. The BECAMEDA method will be described throughout an example of Car Crisis Management.},

To address this issue, several research projects have been launched during the last decade and have resulted in a set of frameworks which help organizing and performing enterprise interoperability projects efficiently. In addition to these frameworks, many metrics have been also developed to measure the interoperability degree between systems. However, these frameworks and metrics are not sufficient to better control execution of these projects. Indeed, they don{\textquoteright}t take into account resource management and unanticipated events or situations that can be encountered during execution.

These errors must be detected in an early stage during the development process to reduce redesign costs and faults. To ensure the correctness of software systems, formal verification provides an alternative approach to verify that an implementation of the expected system fulfills its specification. This paper focuses on the verification of reactive system behaviors specified by the Multi Decisional Reactive Agent (MDRA) and modeled using MDRA Profile. The objective in this paper is to use the Model Checking technique for MDRA Profile verification through the Model Checker SMV (Symbolic Model Verifier) to automatically verify the system properties expressed in temporal logic. The SMV mainly focusing on reactive systems provides a modular hierarchical descriptions and definition of reusable components. Besides, the expression of system properties is more described through both Computational Tree Logic (CTL) and Linear Temporal Logic (LTL).},

To ensure interoperability project effectiveness, this paper proposes a modeling representation of health processes interoperability evolution. Interoperability degrees of involved automated processes are assessed using a ratio metric, taking into account all significant aspects, such as potentiality, compatibility and operational performance. Then, a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is used as a heuristic optimization method to find the best distribution of effort needed to establish an efficient healthcare collaborative network.},
