Between Location protection and Overthrowing: A Contrariness Framework Study for Smart Vehicles

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) capabilities can be used to decrease the number of accidents by sharing information among entities like the location of the Smart Cars (SC). This information is not encrypted due to several real-time communications requirements. Many methods were proposed by the literature to withhold the attacker from exploiting such a privacy gap, affecting negatively at the same time other application layers like safety, comfort, and road-congestion. In this article, we provide a holistic overview of the effects of existing techniques on both privacy and other application layers both from the attacker and the defender point of view.

Multi-criteria decision-making approach for selecting an alternative wastewater treatment plant site in urban areas of Laghouat (North-Central Algeria). Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration, 7(4), 511–530. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41207-022-00333-3

Environmental projects need decision-making that integrates environmental, socio-political, and economic factors. Finding a suitable location for a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) can be a complex and challenging task for the
