Robustness, resilience and security of networked dynamic systems

该项目将开发先进的数字控制技术，以解决复杂网络中的安全性、弹性和稳健性问题，并在安全可靠的网络技术方面取得根本性进展。该项目将推进联网多智能体系统的共识理论，以促进物联网的快速采用和网络物理系统的不断增长。这些系统在许多情况下工作高效、稳定、通信开销低。然而，在某些情况下，干扰放大和连锁故障可能由相对较小的不可预见事件引起。理论工作将得到详细的非线性网络仿真的补充，并以智能车辆系统为例进行研究。

This project will develop advanced digital control techniques to address security, resilience and robustness in complex networks and deliver fundamental advances in the technology for secure and reliable networks. The project will advance the theory on consensus of networked multi-agent systems to facilitate the fast adoption of the internet of things and the continuous growth of cyber-physical systems These systems in many cases work with high efficiency, stability, and low communication overheads. However, there are cases where disturbance amplification and cascading failures can arise from relatively small unforeseen events. The theoretical work will be complemented by detailed nonlinear networked simulations, using intelligent vehicle systems as a case study.
