Logistics and supply chains are the wheels of trade, commerce and economic activity around the world. However, in developing economies and emerging markets there are numerous challenges that make access difficult. Most prominent are the lack of standardized addressing systems, and inefficient or inadequate countrywide postal infrastructure that raises the cost of logistics, especially in delivery at the last mile. The authors proposal recommends a low cost peer-to-peer delivery system where senders are connected to local transporters who can carry out scheduled or on-demand deliveries. This system will be executed by means of a technology platform that facilitates this interaction between the different customer segments. There is significant opportunity and potential in establishing this service in emerging economies around the world that face similar problems. Because of the large market opportunity and its significance in the West-African region, Nigeria is the authors target for the solution. The authors plan is to eventually expand this service regionally.

This book presents valuable research results in the challenging field of systems (cyber)security. It is a reprint of the Information (MDPI, Basel) - Special Issue (SI) on Advanced Topics in Systems Safety and Security. The competitive review process of MDPI journals guarantees the quality of the presented concepts and results. The SI comprises high-quality papers focused on cutting-edge research topics in cybersecurity of computer networks and industrial control systems. The contributions presented in this book are mainly the extended versions of selected papers presented at the 7th and the 8th editions of the International Workshop on Systems Safety and Security—IWSSS. These two editions took place in Romania in 2019 and respectively in 2020. In addition to the selected papers from IWSSS, the special issue includes other valuable and relevant contributions. The papers included in this reprint discuss various subjects ranging from cyberattack or criminal activities detection, evaluation of the attacker skills, modeling of the cyber-attacks, and mobile application security evaluation. Given this diversity of topics and the scientific level of papers, we consider this book a valuable reference for researchers in the security and safety of systems.

Technology: general issues --- industrial control safety --- attack quantification --- common vulnerability scoring system --- attack tree --- distribution automation system --- Command and Control Citizen Security Center --- Command and Control Information System (C2IS) --- crime detection --- homeland security --- Android applications --- multi-threading --- operational semantics --- reverse engineering --- Smali+ --- cyber attack --- attacker --- attacker profile --- attacker behaviour --- metrics --- features --- attributes --- intelligent data analysis --- attack forecasting --- comparative review --- alert correlation --- attack evaluation --- attacker skill level --- attack prediction --- attack projection --- early-stage detection --- Bayesian network
