This paper deals with the online fault diagnosis problem of discrete event systems under malicious external attacks. We consider a scenario where an attacker can intercept certain sensor measurements and alter them arbitrarily, potentially causing a diagnoser to malfunction. In the framework of labeled Petri nets, a novel integer linear programming problem is formulated by introducing binary variables to estimate the possible transition sequences of an observation that may have been tampered with by an attacker. The proposed approach makes two main contributions. The first one is that, by specifying two different objective functions to the integer linear programming problem, we can obtain the diagnosis results in the presence of attacks, which classic diagnosers may fail to achieve;the second is computational efficiency. In the absence of attacks, the proposed approach is experimentally verified to have lower computational overhead compared with the existing results that are based on integer linear programming and those using basis markings. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated through a manufacturing system for assembling brake valves.

In a recent paper published in this journal, Alonso-Pecina et al. collect several sets of benchmark instances for the label printing problem from the literature and they also propose their own instances. Due to the intractability of the problem, no optimal solutions were declared for most of these instances. In this paper, we propose an integer linear programming model for the problem. We obtain optimal solutions or show that the solutions provided in the literature are already optimal for most of these instances based on the model. For some of the rest instances, we provide better solutions compared to the previous best solutions in the literature.

Ising models minimizing a quadratic objective function with spin variables of either $ {-}1 $ -1 or $ +1 $ +1 are instrumental in tackling combinatorial optimization problems by programmable Quantum Annealers. This paper introduces unit Ising models, where non-zero coefficients are restricted to $ {-}1 $ -1 or $ +1 $ +1. Due to the limited resolution of quantum annealers, unit Ising models are more suitable for quantum annealers. A fixed unit Ising model for logic circuits could lead to Application-Specific Unit Quantum Annealers (ASUQAs) for inverse function computation, similar to ASICs. Our findings suggest a powerful new method for compromising the RSA cryptosystem by leveraging ASUQAs for factorization.

Security checkpoints are an important matter of concern for airport operators. When functioning effectively, they not only maintain the airport overall safety at a high level, but also provide passengers with a positive airport experience. The perceived quality of service at the airport greatly depends on the time spent by passengers at the security lines. To ensure optimal safety performance, screening lines have a limited capacity of passengers they can handle. Thus, to prevent extended waiting times for passengers, airports can only adjust the number of simultaneously open check lines. The airport operator must establish optimal schedules for opening security checkpoints and allocating necessary staff. Building upon a prior study focused on predicting the flow of passengers through the security checkpoints, this paper explores simulated annealing algorithm in conjunction with a queue simulator and an integerprogramming algorithm to establish the most effective opening schedule for security checkpoints based on the prediction given by this previous study. The presented approach also determines the best allocation for dedicated staff based on the forecasted passenger flow. This approach limits the number of open security lines and ensures awaiting time below the maximum limit of 45 min set by the airport. It also complies with the work regulations that security agents are subject to.
