Beyond SCADA: Network Embedded Control Systems

这个NSF奖支持两个相关的研讨会，在华盛顿，DC举行，2006年3月14日至15日和3月16日至17日。 第一次研讨会，题为。超越SCADA：网络嵌入式控制系统开始努力确定必须开发的关键技术，不仅可以减少现有SCADA系统的漏洞，还可以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可信度软件和系统协调小组的指导和支持下计划的。 本次研讨会的背景是，信息和通信技术的普遍使用已渗透到其他基础设施，使它们更加智能，日益相互关联，复杂，相互依赖，因此更加脆弱。它们是全球性的，在地理上分布在任何管辖或政府边界之外。当今至关重要的国家和大规模工业系统依赖于具有老化基础设施特征的信通技术。它们表现出基本的控制和协调自动化，安全性差，并且由于采用所需新设备的成本，运营往往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，这些基础设施包括电网、交通系统、电信基础设施、医疗保健系统、以及安全关键制造系统（例如，化学制造）。 美国HCSS会议之后是第二个研讨会，这是一个关于类似主题的合作研究的美国-欧盟联合研讨会，题为基于ICT的大型网络结构和相互依赖性：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
