CPS: Frontiers: Collaborative Research: Foundations of Resilient CybEr-Physical Systems (FORCES)

NSF Cyber-Physical Systems（CPS）Frontiers项目“弹性网络物理系统（FORCES）的基础”专注于直接与人类交互的大规模网络CPS系统的弹性设计。 FORCES旨在提供全面的工具，使CPS的设计者和运营商结合联合收割机弹性控制（RC）算法与经济激励（EI）schemes.Scientific ContributionsThe项目正在开发RC工具，以承受广泛的攻击和故障;学习和控制算法，将人类行为与网络CPS系统的时空和混合动力学相结合;以及基于模型的设计，以确保项目所有分支的语义一致表示。联网CPS系统的操作自然取决于系统性社会机构以及使用和操作它们的人的个人部署选择。这些行为者之间存在不完整和不对称的信息，导致个人和社会最佳平衡复原力水平之间存在差距。该项目正在制定EI计划，以缩小这一差距。FORCES团队包括控制系统、博弈论和机制设计方面的专家，其核心贡献是RC和EI方案以及实施这些方案的技术工具的协同设计的基础。预期影响弹性CPS基础设施是一项重要的国家资产。FORCES是第一个将网络控制与博弈论工具和人类决策者的经济激励相结合的项目，为CPS的新科学的发展做出了贡献。FORCES集成的协同设计理念正在两个CPS领域得到验证：电力分配和消费以及交通网络。这些设计原型正在真实的世界场景中进行测试。该团队的研究工作正在得到针对大量不同受众的弹性CPS教育产品的补充。

This NSF Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Frontiers project "Foundations Of Resilient CybEr-physical Systems (FORCES)" focuses on the resilient design of large-scale networked CPS systems that directly interface with humans. FORCES aims to provide comprehensive tools that allow the CPS designers and operators to combine resilient control (RC) algorithms with economic incentive (EI) schemes.Scientific ContributionsThe project is developing RC tools to withstand a wide-range of attacks and faults; learning and control algorithms which integrate human actions with spatio-temporal and hybrid dynamics of networked CPS systems; and model-based design to assure semantically consistent representations across all branches of the project. Operations of networked CPS systems naturally depend on the systemic social institutions and the individual deployment choices of the humans who use and operate them. The presence of incomplete and asymmetric information among these actors leads to a gap between the individually and socially optimal equilibrium resiliency levels. The project is developing EI schemes to reduce this gap. The core contributions of the FORCES team, which includes experts in control systems, game theory, and mechanism design, are the foundations for the co-design of RC and EI schemes and technological tools for implementing them.Expected ImpactsResilient CPS infrastructure is a critical National Asset. FORCES is contributing to the development of new Science of CPS by being the first project that integrates networked control with game theoretic tools and the economic incentives of human decision makers for resilient CPS design and operation. The FORCES integrated co-design philosophy is being validated on two CPS domains: electric power distribution and consumption, and transportation networks. These design prototypes are being tested in real world scenarios. The team's research efforts are being complemented by educational offerings on resilient CPS targeted to a large and diverse audience.
