	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">\&nbsp;Situational awareness for critical infrastructure protection, such as for energy\&nbsp;control systems, has become a topic of interest in recent years. Despite attempts\&nbsp;to address this area of research, more progress is still necessary to find attractive solutions that help bring about prevention and response at all times from\&nbsp;anywhere and at any time. Given this need, we therefore propose in this paper, a smart mechanism able to offer a wide-area situational awareness with the\&nbsp;ability to: (i) Control the real state of the observed infrastructure, (ii) respond\&nbsp;to emergency situations and (iii) assess the degree of \&nbsp;ccuracy of the entire\&nbsp;control system. To address these aspects, the mechanism is based on a hierarchical configuration of industrial sensors for control, the ISA100.11a standard\&nbsp;for the prioritization and alarm management, and the F-Measure technique to\&nbsp;study the level of accuracy of a sensor inside a neighbourhood. As proof of the\&nbsp;functionality and feasibility of the mechanism for critical contexts, a software\&nbsp;application implemented in nesC and Java is also presented in this paper.</p>
