Control of network systems with signed dynamical interconnections

在线推荐、智能电网和网络物理系统等新技术正在成为骨干基础设施。这样的系统作为具有相互连接的功能单元（代理）的网络系统运行，其中合作和对抗代理关系经常共存。该项目旨在开发设计和构建具有签名交互的动态网络的理论和工具，这些交互来自于合作和对抗代理交互共存的各种应用。通过开发控制和识别此类系统的理论和算法，该项目将直接有助于其安全和稳健运行。由此产生的理论将提供对网络控制系统更深入的理解，所产生的算法将使在线审查系统和智能电网能够消除攻击者和恶意用户。该项目将有助于提高所有澳大利亚人的网络安全。

New technologies such as online recommendations, smart grids, and cyber-physical systems are becoming backbone infrastructure. Such systems are operated as network systems with interconnected functioning units (agents) where cooperative and adversarial agent relations often coexist. This project aims to develop the theories and tools for designing and building dynamic networks with signed interactions that arise from a variety of applications where both cooperative and adversarial agent interactions coexist. By developing theories and algorithms for control and identification over such systems, this project will contribute directly to their safe and robust operation. The resulting theories will provide deeper understanding of network control systems and the resulting algorithms will enable the elimination of attackers and malicious users for online review systems and smart grids. This project will contribute to increased cybersecurity for all Australians.
