Visible to the public Fundamental Limits of Cyber-Physical Systems Modeling

ABSTRACT

To model and design CPS systems, we must combine models for software, networks, and physical dynamics. Such combined models are fraught with subtlety because of the mixture of continuous dynamics and discrete behaviors. In this talk, I discuss some fundamental limits, which cannot be overcome by any modeling technique. Specifically, chaos, the inability to computationally model a continuum, and the incompleteness of determinism limit the predictive power of models.

Visible to the public Reflections on Model Integrated Computing and Cyber-Physical Systems

ABSTRACT

We review the development of model integrated computing (MIC) for cyber-physical systems. MIC provided a much higher level of abstraction than was used for real-time embedded computing systems. The introduction of MIC allowed for new types of analysis and synthesis to be performed, leading to improved CPS design methodologies.

Visible to the public AI Technology for Protecting Cyber-Physical Systems

ABSTRACT

CPS are vulnerable to physical attacks, cyber attacks, and attacks that combine both modalities. The approaches that have been taken to ensure safety of CPS are generally insufficient to defend against intelligent adversaries. This talk looks at an Artificial Intelligence approach, based on Active Perception, to protecting CPS from intelligent adversaries using sophisticated cyber-physical attacks.

Visible to the public CyberSTEM Camps at Maryland CyberSecurity Center

MC2 facilitates a wide variety of educational opportunities on the UMD campus. MC2 also sponsors a number of educational/outreach events for lower-school, middle-school, and high-school students, especially targeting women and under-represented minorities. MC2 will host two camps in Summer 2016 focusing on STEM and cybersecurity topics.

CyberSTEM Camp for Girls entering 7th and 8th Grade
Dates: Monday, July 18 - Friday, July 22, 2016
