Beyond SCADA: Network Embedded Control Systems

该NSF奖项支持2006年3月14日至15日和3月16日至17日在华盛顿特区举行的两个相互关联的研讨会。第一个研讨会，题为。超越SCADA：网络嵌入式控制系统发起了一项努力，以确定必须开发的关键技术，不仅要减少现有SCADA系统的漏洞，而且要为我们的国家基础设施规划下一代分布式网络嵌入式控制系统。这次研讨会是在机构间高度信任软件和系统协调小组的指导和支持下计划的。这次研讨会的背景是普遍使用信息和通信技术，这些技术已经渗透到其他基础设施中，使这些基础设施更加智能、日益相互联系、更加复杂、相互依存，因此更加脆弱。它们是全球性的，地理分布超越任何管辖或政府边界。如今，关键的国家和大型工业系统依赖于老化基础设施的信息和通信技术特性。它们表现出基本的控制和协调自动化，安全性差，由于采用所需的新(和脆弱的)技术(如无线网络)的成本，操作经常被推向危险的安全和安保实践。美国和欧洲在更新和保护大型基础设施方面有着共同的关切，如电网、交通系统、电信基础设施、医疗保健系统和安全关键制造系统(如化学制造)。在美国HCSS会议之后是第二次研讨会，这是美国-欧盟关于类似主题的合作研究的联合研讨会，题为基于信息和通信技术的大型基础设施和相互依存：控制、安全、安保和依赖

This NSF award supports two linked workshops, held in Washington, DC, March 14-15 and March 16-17, 2006. The first workshop, entitled. Beyond SCADA: Networked Embedded Control Systems initiates an effort to identify key technologies that must be developed for not only reducing the vulnerabilities of existing SCADA systems but also planning the next generation of distributed network embedded control systems for our National infrastructures. This workshop is planned with the guidance and support of the interagency High Confidence Software and Systems Coordinating Group. The context for this workshop is the ubiquitous use of information and communication technologies that has pervaded other infrastructures, rendering them more intelligent, increasingly interconnected, complex, interdependent, and therefore more vulnerable. They are global and geographically distributed beyond any jurisdictional or governmental boundary. Todays critical national and large-scale industrial systems depend on ICT characteristic of an aging infrastructure. They exhibit rudimentary control and coordination automation, are poorly secured, and operations often are driven to hazardous safety and security practice due to the cost of adoption for needed new (and vulnerable) technologies such as wireless networking.The United States and Europe share common concerns for renewing and protecting large infrastructures such as power grids, transportation systems, telecommunication infrastructure, health-care systems, and safety-critical manufacturing systems (e.g., chemical manufacturing). Following the US HCSS meeting is the second workshop, a joint US-EU workshop for collaborative research on similar themes, titled Large ICT-based Infrastructures and Interdependencies: Control, Safety, Security and Dependa
