Beyond Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) National Workshop

该奖项是为了支持2007年11月8日至9日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的网络嵌入式控制系统领域的国家研讨会。这是与NSTC网络和信息技术研究与发展（NITRD）分委员会下的高置信度软件和系统（HCSS）协调组（CG）合作举办的一系列与高置信度和可认证软件和系统有关的活动中的几个研讨会之一。 国家的关键物理基础设施在很大程度上依赖于SCADA（监控和数据采集）和DCS（数字控制系统）。电力网络、石油、天然气和水网络、化学过程控制、运输网络、建筑物的加热、通风和空调系统严重依赖于来自分布式传感设备的信息的感测、监测、收集和控制。很明显，这些设备已经以ad-hoc方式部署在我们的基础设施中，并广泛用于许多不同类型的应用，包括经济负荷调度、安全监控、建筑物气候调节和其他此类功能。随着我们对无处不在的计算和通信设备的使用增加，我们逐渐在SCADA/DCS系统中内置了更多的功能。这些技术进步的副产品是缺乏有计划的部署我们可以称之为高置信度的设备和软件。 本次研讨会的目的是评估研究需求，并为关键技术的基础研究制定路线图和研究议程，不仅可以减少现有SCADA系统的漏洞，还可以规划下一代分布式网络嵌入式控制系统。

This award is to support a national workshop in Pittsburgh, PA, November 8-9, 2007 in the area of Networked Embedded Control Systems. This one of several workshops in a series of activities concerned with high-confidence and certifiable software and systems, sponsored in cooperation with the High Confidence Software and Systems (HCSS) Coordinating Group (CG) under the NSTC Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Subcommittee. This workshop is co-funded by NSF and NIST.The nation's critical physical infrastructure depends crucially on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and DCS (Digital Control Systems). Power networks, oil, gas, and water networks, chemical process control, transportation networks, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems of buildings depend critically on the sensing, monitoring, gathering and control of information from distributed sensing devices. It is clear that these devices have been deployed in ad-hoc fashion in our infrastructures and are widely used in a number of different kinds of applications including economic load dispatch, security monitoring, regulation of building climate and other such functions. As our use of ubiquitous computing and communication devices has increased we have gradually built in greater functionality into our SCADA/DCS systems. The by-product of these technological advances has been a lack of planned deployment of what we may refer to as high confidence devices and software. The purpose of this workshop is to assess research needs and to develop a roadmap and research agenda for fundamental research in key technologies for not only reducing the vulnerabilities of existing SCADA systems but also planning the next generation of distributed network embedded control systems for our infrastructure.
