Towards Runtime Monitoring for Malicious Behaviors Detection in Smart Ecosystems

Smart Ecosystem reflects in the control decisions of entities of different nature, especially of its software components. Particularly, the malicious behavior requires a more accurate attention. This paper discusses the challenges related to the evaluation of software smart agents and proposes a first solution leveraging the monitoring facilities for a) assuring conformity between the software agent and its digital twin in a real-time evaluation and b) validating decisions of the digital twins during runtime in a predictive simulation.
