This paper investigates an intelligent omni-surface (IOS)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where a base station provides both target sensing and communication services with an IOS. The sensing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is maximized while satisfying the communication requirement by optimizing IOS configurations. Conventional approaches typically need real-time and accurate channel state information (CSI) and have high computational complexity, making them difficult to implement in realistic systems. To circumvent this problem, this paper puts forth a new framework based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with knowledge transfer. In particular, an online learning scheme called Deep reinforcement learning IOS-ISAC (DeepOSC), is first proposed to optimize the reflecting and refracting coefficients of the IOS. Thereafter, to enable powerful reasoning and fast decision-making, we incorporate an echo state network (ESN) with separate output into DeepOSC. To further accelerate convergence, two transfer learning approaches, namely staged policy reuse (SPR) and staged policy distillation (SPD), are developed to guide the learning process of a newly deployed agent by leveraging policies of pre-trained agents. Numerical results show that compared to various benchmarks, DeepOSC attains significant sensing and communication performance gains and is more robust against outdated CSI coefficients. In addition, in comparison to conventional neural networks, ESN shortens the run-time of DeepOSC by more than ten times and is more efficient for temporal inference. Besides, we demonstrate the capabilities of SPR and SPD in accelerating the convergence of DeepOSC. 2002-2012 IEEE.

This paper introduces the Integrated Security Embedded Resilience Architecture (ISERA) as an advanced resilience mechanism for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments. The ISERA framework integrates security by design principles, micro-segmentation, and Island Mode Operation (IMO) to enhance cyber resilience and ensure continuous, secure operations. The methodology deploys a Forward-Thinking Architecture Strategy (FTAS) algorithm, which utilises an industrial Intrusion Detection System (IDS) implemented with Python’s Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) library. The FTAS algorithm successfully identified and responded to cyber-attacks, ensuring minimal system disruption. ISERA has been validated through comprehensive testing scenarios simulating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and malware intrusions, at both the IT and OT layers where it successfully mitigates the impact of malicious activity. Results demonstrate ISERA’s efficacy in real-time threat detection, containment, and incident response, thus ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical infrastructure systems. ISERA’s decentralised approach contributes to global net zero goals by optimising resource use and minimising environmental impact. By adopting a decentralised control architecture and leveraging virtualisation, ISERA significantly enhances the cyber resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure systems. This approach not only strengthens defences against evolving cyber threats but also optimises resource allocation, reducing the system’s carbon footprint. As a result, ISERA ensures the uninterrupted operation of essential services while contributing to broader net zero goals.
