Table 4: Advancements in predictive maintenance and prognosis strategies within Industry 4.0. [PERSON] et al. [45] present a comprehensive survey focusing on fuzzy-logic-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and network traffic anomaly detection methods. In the context of Industry 4.0, where business continuity is of utmost importance, cybersecurity challenges have become a major concern for information-technology-driven organizations and companies. DDoS attacks have proven to be particularly detrimental, leading to system failures, service disruptions, and significant financial losses. The paper offers a systematic overview of various DDoS attacks and proposes a hierarchical classification. Moreover, it conducts in-depth comparisons of studies published in reputed venues in this area. The authors recommend the adoption of fuzzy-based detection methods to mitigate DDoS threats effectively and address the gaps in current intrusion detection systems and related works. [PERSON] et al. [23] introduce an online validation method for simulation-based digital twins, a prominent feature of Industry 4.0. As the digitization of manufacturing plants has increased, digital twins have become crucial for aligning physical systems with their corresponding digital models throughout the system's lifecycle. Traditional validation techniques are often limited by restrictive assumptions and the requirement of large data sets. To overcome these challenges, the authors propose a novel method that treats shop-floor data as sequences and measures the similarity between the data streams from the physical system and its corresponding digital model. The proposed method is validated through offline experiments and applied within a digital twin architecture for a lab-scale manufacturing system. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [89] contribute to the evaluation and selection of real-time anomaly detection algorithms applied in Industry 4.0 settings. With the advent of flexible, combinable production machines in Industry 4.0, timely and automated anomaly recognition has become crucial to support efficiency. However, existing evaluation mechanisms for real-time anomaly detection algorithms are not well-suited to the specific context of Industry 4.0. To address this gap, the authors develop an Industry-4.0-specific benchmark for real-time anomaly detection algorithms. This benchmark considers key design principles such as timeliness, threshold setting, and qualitative classification. The proposed benchmark allows for the ranking of algorithms based on context-specific input parameters for real-time anomaly detection in production datasets. The authors demonstrate the application of the benchmark through two case studies. In conclusion, the papers in this group contribute significantly to the advancement of time series analysis and anomaly detection in the context of Industry 4.0.
