ICCCN is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel ideas and fundamental advances in the fields of computer communications and networks. ICCCN serves to foster communication among researchers and practitioners with a common interest in improving communications and networking through scientific and technological innovation. The 22nd ICCCN will take place at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort in Nassau, Bahamas from July 30 to August 2, 2013. ICCCN 2013 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and IEEE Communication Society.

About 30 years ago, Lapri has defined dependability as a logical framework over multiple quantitative properties, such as availability, reliability, integrity, etc. Since then it has been successfully used for characterizing dependability of computational systems. The latest update of concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing was released in 2004 (see link below):

Cyber-physical systems, such groups of unmanned aerial vehicles, are often monitored and controlled by networked control systems (NCS). NCS are deployed in many environments subject to realistic, complex network interactions, so evaluation of NCS is crucial to ensuring that NCS function as intended. Given the varied nature of NCS, it is appropriate to use a heterogenous simulation environment to capture the dynamics; however, the design and integration of heterogeneous simulation environments is a complex problem.

The slides that were presented at the NSF Kickoff meeting on November 29, 2010. Contributors to the presentation include P. Antsaklis, V. Gupta, and B. Goodwine. Topics discussed within the presentation include Passivity & Dissipativity in Dynamical Systems, Event-Triggered Control, and Passivity Indices - Cascade.
Authors: Jia Bai, Emeka P. Eyisi, Yuan Xue and Xenofon D. Koutsoukos Appeared in: The First International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking Systems (CPNS) in conjunction with INFOCOM, Shanghai, China, April 15 2011, pp. 6. Abstract: Building networked control systems is a promising direction that promotes the evolution of the traditional control systems. The ability of using different sampling rates in control systems provides the flexibility for adapting their resource needs based on the dynamic networking environment.

(Under review in IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology: “A Backstepping Control Framework for Networked Control of m-Triangular Systems”) m-Triangular Systems are dynamical physical systems which can be described by m triangular subsystem models. Many physical system models such as those which describe fixed-wing and quadrotor aircraft can be realized as m-Triangular Systems. However, many control engineers try to fit their dynamical model into a 1-Triangular System model.
