Variable Structure Complex Network Systems with Smart Grid Applications

该项目旨在建立突破性的理论和技术，以帮助提供受结构变化影响的复杂网络系统的可靠性和安全性，以抵御故障和网络攻击。预期成果包括为理解这类系统奠定基础的新理论、设计这类系统的创新算法和工具，以及用于确保这类系统的可靠性和安全性的实用软件平台。它将直接应用于国家电网等关键基础设施，以帮助保持生命线的弹性并实现经济效益。它还将为澳大利亚提供培训这一尖端技术的下一代工程师的机会。

This project aims to establish a breakthrough theory and technology to help deliver reliability and security of complex network systems, which are subject to structure changes, against faults and cyberattacks. Expected outcomes include a new theory that lays the foundation for understanding such systems, innovative algorithms and tools for their design, and a practical software platform used for ensuring reliability and security of such systems. It will be applied directly to critical infrastructure such as the national power grid to help maintain lifeline resilience and achieve economic benefits. It will also provide an opportunity to train the next generation engineers in this cutting-edge technology for Australia.
