Towards Safety and Security Testing of Cyberphysical Power Systems by Shape Validation
The increasing complexity of cyberphysical power systems leads to larger attack surfaces to be exploited by malicious actors and a higher risk of faults through misconfiguration. We propose to meet those risks with a declarative approach to describe cyberphysical power systems and to automatically evaluate security and safety controls. We leverage Semantic Web technologies as a well-standardized framework, providing languages to specify ontologies, rules and shape constraints. We model infrastr…

The Goldilocks zone of governing technology: Leveraging uncertainty for responsible quantum practices
Emerging technologies challenge conventional governance approaches, especially when uncertainty is not a temporary obstacle but a foundational feature as in quantum computing. This paper reframes uncertainty from a governance liability to a generative force, using the paradigms of quantum mechanics to propose adaptive, probabilistic frameworks for responsible innovation. We identify three interdependent layers of uncertainty--physical, technical, and societal--central to the evolution of quantu…
