The field of cybersecurity has witnessed a significant shift towards Programmable Data Planes with the emergence of the P4 programming P4. The existing literature lacks a comprehensive taxonomy that provides collaborative classifications and characterization of P4-based cybersecurity solutions. In this paper, we propose a novel taxonomy to better characterize published works in the field of cybersecurity solutions developed leveraging P4 and Programmable Data Planes. Our taxonomy introduces three main categories: detection techniques, mitigation actions, and deployment platforms. Unlike existing classification approaches present in literature, our taxonomy allows categorizing a given work according to different criteria, thus enabling collaborative classifications and the identification of shared features by highlighting intra-category and inter-category relationships that can be established among different works. Through our comprehensive characterization of the works identified in the literature, we present key findings that contribute to extend the current understanding of the field. By identifying the diverse range of techniques employed and the platforms utilized, we aim at addressing the needs to understand the area, which is fundamental for future advancements. Notably, we emphasize the significance of security provisioning through the adoption of cybersecurity functional abstractions. These abstractions enable the emulation of the behavior of conventional security devices, leveraging the capabilities of P4. Furthermore, we discuss several research challenges and possible future directions that have emerged from our analysis. This paper focuses on providing valuable insights and knowledge for researchers and practitioners in the field of cybersecurity solutions based on Programmable Data Planes leveraging P4, with the final goal of opening avenues for new research.

The impacts of natural hazards on infrastructure, enhanced by climate change, are increasingly more severe emphasizing the necessity of resilient energy grids. Microgrids, tailored energy systems for specific neighbourhoods and districts, play a pivotal role in sustaining energy supply during main grid outages. These solutions not only mitigate economic losses and well-being disruptions against escalating hazards but also enhance city resilience in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. However, disregarding socioeconomic factors in defining microgrid boundaries risks perpetuating inequalities and impeding progress towards other SDG 11 targets, including fair democratic participation. Our approach integrates social and technical indicators to bolster urban microgrid planning. Through a case study in a US county, we illustrate how integrated microgrid planning effectively intertwines urban resilience, well-being and equity while promoting sustainable development. This study underscores the importance of integrated microgrid planning for sustainable and resilient urban transformation amid environmental and societal challenges.

Critical infrastructure systems (CISs) are the cornerstone of modern cities. Substantial economic losses and social impacts are caused once natural disasters or man‐made disruptions attack the CISs. As a “resilient city” has become an essential theme of communities’ sustainable development, research on resilience and its practice in industries boost the CISs’ capacity to respond and adapt to changing environments. From the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection, this study screened 1,247 scientific articles related to resilience in CISs and conducted a bibliometric analysis to investigate the evolution and future potential in this field. Topic visualized networks were constructed for CIS resilience using CiteSpace, a dedicated tool for visualizing and analyzing trends and patterns in scientific literature. The results demonstrate collaborative research networks among countries, institutions, main scholar/group networks, and leading journals publishing CIS resilience work. This study also explained how the research interest evolved over the last 20 years and found the current frontiers pointing to “power systems resilience” and “supply chain resilience.” The reasons were discussed subsequently from the perspectives of the influence that natural hazards (based on the EM‐DAT data) and government policies have upon CISs’ resilience work.
