Beyond Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) National Workshop

该合同是为了支持2007年11月8-9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全国研讨会。这是与国家科学技术委员会网络和信息技术研究与发展小组委员会下属的高可信度软件和系统协调小组合作主办的一系列有关高可信度和可认证软件和系统的讲习班之一。本次研讨会由NSF和NIST共同资助。国家的关键物理基础设施主要依赖于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、交通网络、建筑物的供暖、通风和空调系统，都严重依赖于分布式传感设备对信息的传感、监测、收集和控制。很明显，这些设备已经以特别的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、建筑气候调节和其他此类功能。随着我们使用无处不在的计算和通信设备的增加，我们逐渐在我们的SCADA/DCS系统中建立了更大的功能。这些技术进步的副产品是缺乏我们所谓的高可信度设备和软件的计划部署。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，还可以为我们的基础设施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.
