Visible to the public The Healthtech Declaration

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 5:50pm. Contributors:

Healthcare technology--sometimes called "healthtech" or "healthsec"--is enmeshed with security and privacy via usability, performance, and cost-effectiveness issues. It is multidisciplinary, distributed, and complex--nd it also involves many competing stakeholders and interests.

Visible to the public Characterizing Smartphone Usage Patterns from Millions of Android Users

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 5:45pm. Contributors:

The prevalence of smart devices has promoted the popularity of mobile applications (a.k.a. apps) in recent years. A number of interesting and important questions remain unanswered, such as why a user likes/dislikes an app, how an app becomes popular or eventually perishes, how a user selects apps to install and interacts with them, how frequently an app is used and how much trac it generates, etc. This paper presents an empirical analysis of app usage behaviors collected from millions of users of Wandoujia, a leading Android app marketplace in China.

Visible to the public Game Theory with Learning for Cyber Security Monitoring

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 5:11pm. Contributors:

Abstract--Recent attacks show that threats to cyber infrastructure are not only increasing in volume, but are getting more sophisticated. The attacks may comprise multiple actions that are hard to differentiate from benign activity, and therefore common detection techniques have to deal with high false positive rates. Because of the imperfect performance of automated detection techniques, responses to such attacks are highly dependent on human-driven decision-making processes.

Visible to the public Reliability Analysis with Dynamic Reliability Block Diagrams in the Mobius Modeling Tool

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 5:04pm. Contributors:

Reliability block diagram (RBD) models are a commonly used reliability analysis method. For static RBD models, combinatorial solution techniques are easy and ecient. However, static RBDs are limited in their ability to express varying system state, dependent events, and non-series-parallel topologies. A recent extension to RBDs, called Dynamic Reliability Block Diagrams (DRBD), has eliminated those limitations.

Visible to the public Controller Synthesis for Linear Time-varying Systems with Adversaries

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 12:53pm. Contributors:

We present a controller synthesis algorithm for a discrete time reach-avoid problem in the presence of adversaries. Our model of the adversary captures typical malicious attacks envisioned on cyber-physical systems such as sensor spoong, controller corruption, and actuator intrusion. After formulating the problem in a general setting, we present a sound and complete algorithm for the case with linear dynamics and an adversary with a budget on the total L2-norm of its actions.

Visible to the public L2-gain Analysis for a Class of Hybrid Systems with Applications to Reset and Event-triggered Control A Lifting Approach

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 12:45pm. Contributors:

Abstract: In this paper we study the stability and L2-gain properties of a class of hybrid systems that exhibit linear flow dynamics, periodic time-triggered jumps and arbitrary nonlinear jump maps. This class of hybrid systems is relevant for a broad range of applications including periodic event-triggered control, sampled-data reset control, sampled-data saturated control, and certain networked control systems with scheduling protocols.
