Additive layer manufacturing has been termed as one of the proponents of the fourth industrial revolution. However, due to the presence of cyber and physical domain components in additive manufacturing, they are prone to physical-to-cyber domain attacks. One of the example of such attacks is side-channel attacks, where an attacker can steal valuable intellectual property of the 3D objects being printed by the additive manufacturing system. To understand and defend these attacks, we have to analyze all the possible side-channels and minimize the amount of leakage in each of them.

The poster provides a general overview of the motivation for testbeds, and summarizes the high-level objectives of the project. Then, the poster outlines a conceptual architecture of how a layered testbed architecture could be extended to realize federated testbeds. Followed by this, the poster provides a high-level conceptual architecture of the remote access framework developed as part of the project. The poster also provides some details on the various tasks performed as part of the remote access framework.

This Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) project supports research to enable the automated monitoring of building and infrastructure construction projects. The purpose of construction monitoring is to provide developers, contractors, subcontractors, and tradesmen with the information they need to easily and quickly make project control decisions. These decisions have a direct impact on the overall efficiency of a construction project. Given that construction is a $800 billion industry, gains in efficiency could lead to enormous cost savings, benefiting both the U.S. economy and society.

The goal of this research project is to develop a scalable cyber-physical system (CPS) framework
for seamless integration of physical and computational systems for bridge lifecycle monitoring.
Bridge monitoring includes many different components, such as computer-aided design (CAD)
system, bridge management system (BMS), structural health monitoring (SHM) system, and
various analysis tools. In current practice, these components are isolated from each other and
sharing of information across systems is very limited. Information sharing and system integration

Computational simulation is one of the most im- portant ways of reproducing the dynamic responses of a Cyber Physical System using a model of the system. The simulation discovers areas of differential system performance and allows linking such performance back to system characteristics. In the medical domain, patient simulators are used to train physicians in patient management. One critical question is how to verify these systems under realistic human (physician) input.

The overarching project goal is to advance the design of opportunistic state-triggered aperiodic controllers for networked cyber-physical systems. This poster considers the problem of event-triggered control design for cyberphysical systems with nonlinear dynamics under time-varying input delays.

Millions of mobile applications (apps) are being developed in domains such as energy, health, security, and entertainment. The US FDA expects that there will be 500 million smart phone users downloading healthcare related apps by the end of 2015. Many of these apps will perform interventions to control human physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate. The intervention aspects of the apps can cause dependency problems, e.g., multiple interventions of multiple apps can increase or decrease each other's effects, some of which can be harmful to the user.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that contain self-modifying smart components can improve and self-repair, but sometimes at the cost of impeding model-based Verification and Validation (V&V). In this work, we focus on maintaining short and long range V&V capability in a system containing self-adaptive smart components. In this work, we focus on smart component based in-flight control adaptation of damaged Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAV).
