Visible to the public A Gaussian-Mixture Model Based Detection against Data Integrity Attacks in Smart Grid Poster.pdf

The goal of this project is to establish a theoretical and empirical foundation for secured and efficient energy resource management in the smart grid - a typical energy-based cyber-physical system and the future critical energy infrastructure for the nation. In this study, we focus on the detection threats and propose a Gaussian-Mixture Model-based Detection (GMMD) scheme to mitigate data integrity attacks.

Visible to the public Cyber-Physical Fingerprinting for Internet of Things Authentication

In this poster, we expose some of our recent results on authenatication of the Internet of things.
Our results include new machine learning approaches for authenaticating IoT devices based on their environment,
as well as novel ideas to distinguish malicious attacks from normal environmental changes. The poster also
presents some of our related works on IoT jamming and stochastic moving target defense in IoT-like environments.
Our extensive outreach activities within the scope of the GCTC challenge are also presented.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Collaborative Research- Architectural and Algorithmic Solutions for Large Scale PEV Integration into Power Grids

This project designs algorithms for the integration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PEVs) into the power grid. Specifically, the project will formulate and solve optimization problems critical to various entities in the PEV ecosystem -- PEV owners, commercial charging station owners, aggregators, and distribution companies -- at the distribution / retail level.

Visible to the public Energy and Delay- Network Optimization in Cyber Physical Human Sensing Systems

This project aims to investigate energy and delay sensitive sensing, communication, decision-making and control in the context of cyber physical systems. We particularly focus on systems where sensors with varying accuracy observe heterogeneous source signals that must be processed and communicated and used for inference and decision-making purposes.

Visible to the public A Unified Solution of Mixed Traffic Sensing, Tracking and Acceptable Active Accident Avoidance for On-Demand Automated Shuttles

OSU SMOOTH (Smart Mobile Operation: OSU Transportation Hub) is an autonomous vehicle testbed that aims at providing intelligent transportation systems research for the first- and last-mile of an individual's commute. It augments current public transportation infrastructure by providing users access to a heterogeneous network of on-demand autonomous vehicles.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Collaborative Research- A Unified System Theoretic Framework for Cyber Attack-Resilient Power Grid

There is an increased research trend towards the application of distributed control algorithms for network power system control. We analyze the vulnerability of these distributed control algorithms to a potential attack on the communication network. We show that that the decentralized load-side control algorithm for frequency regulation in power system is fragile to communication channel uncertainty. We also propose an optimization-based framework for the design of distributed load-side control algorithm robust to communication channel uncertainty.

Visible to the public SDO - Software Defined Orchestration for Fog Computing

Fog computing refers to distributing cloud services and extending them up to the edge of the network, allowing processing close to the source of data n that guarantees a timely response, network traffic reduction, and scalability. In contrast to cloud computing, fog computing utilizes resources from various levels in the network hierarchy n thereby posing the need for seamless resource management.

Visible to the public Real-time tracking using camera networks and multi-modal sensing with the Foglets Framework

Georgia Tech police department is using a proprietary system to manage over 700 cameras on campus. The current approach requires administrators to click on each camera pin on the map and watch the stream to find out useful information, or wade through backup camera videos to track incidents. This process requires a lot of human labor and is not scalable. We use fog computing infrastructure to provide real-time object tracking, with car tracking across space and time as a concrete use-case.
