Visible to the public CPS: Breakthrough: Towards a Science of Attack Composition, Mitigation and Verification in CPS: A Passivity Based Approach

Submitted by poovendran on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 12:26pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) have become increasingly prevalent in applications including health care, energy, and transportation. The tight coupling between cyber and physical components of CPS implies that cyber attacks can degrade the safety, availability, and performance of physical components. The cyber components also introduce multiple entry points to the CPS, lowering the cost of attacks compared to purely physical systems.

Visible to the public Active Regression for Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by zhangbao on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 4:36am. Contributors:

Abstract:

One defining feature of cyberphysical systems is the fact that human users are closely intertwined with the physical system. Yet both the system and users themselves are often do not explicitly know how users would behave. A natural question arises: How do we design cyberphysical systems that effectively learn about their users, and optimize system behavior accordingly? This poster presents the idea of active regression as a vehicle to learn about users.

Visible to the public Architectural and Algorithmic Solutions for Large Scale PEV Integration into Power Grids

Submitted by Vijay Gupta on Wed, 12/23/2015 - 12:39pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

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.
