Visible to the public Foundations Of Resilient CybEr-physical Systems (FORCES)_2016

Submitted by S. Shankar Sastry on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:59pm. Contributor:

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are being increasingly deployed in critical infrastructures such as electric-power, water, transportation, and other networks. These deployments are facilitating real-time monitoring and closed-loop control by exploiting the advances in wireless sensor-actuator networks, the internet of "everything," data-driven analytics, and machine-to-machine interfaces. CPS operations depend on the synergy of computational and physical components.

Visible to the public CAREER- Resilient Design of Networked Infrastructure Systems- Models, Validation, and Synthesis Poster.pdf

Submitted by saurabh on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:59pm. Contributor:

This project advances the scientific knowledge on design methods for improving the resilience of civil infrastructures to disruptions. To improve resilience, critical services in civil infrastructure sectors must utilize new diagnostic tools and control algorithms that ensure survivability in the presence of both security attacks and random faults, and also include the models of incentives of human decision makers in the design process.

Visible to the public CPS- Breakthrough- Toward Revolutionary Algorithms for Cyber-Physical Systems Architecture Optimization

Submitted by oabdelkhalik on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributor:

One of the challenges for the future cyber-physical systems is the exploration of large design spaces. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), which embody a simplified computational model of the mutation and selection mechanisms of natural evolution, are known to be effective for design optimization. However, the traditional formulations are limited to choosing values for a predetermined set of parameters within a given fixed architecture. This project explores techniques, based on the idea of hidden genes, which enable EAs to select a variable number of components, thereby expand

Visible to the public CRII- CPS- Architecture and Distributed Computation in the Networked Control Paradigm- An Autonomous Grid Example

Submitted by nilanjgec on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributors:

This project is focused on the fundamental research in establishing a foundational framework towards the development of an autonomous Cyber-Physical System (CPS) through distributed computation in a Networked Control Systems (NCS) paradigm. Specific attention is focused on an application where the computational, and communication challenges are unique due to the sheer dimensionality of the physical system. An example of such CPS is the smart power grid, which includes large-scale deployment of distributed and networked Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and wind energy resources.

Submitted by dahleh on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:36pm. Contributors:

We investigate the ability of a collection of deferrable energy loads to behave as a battery; that is, to absorb and release energy in a controllable fashion up to fixed and predetermined limits on volume, charge rate and discharge rate. We derive bounds on the battery capacity that can be realized and show that there are fundamental trade-offs between battery parameters.

Visible to the public High-Fidelity, Scalable, Open-Access Cyber Security Testbed for Accelerating Smart Grid Innovations and Deployments

Submitted by Mani Govin on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:36pm. Contributors:

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.
