Cyber Physical System Challenges for Human-in-the-Loop Control

This paper articulates three main challenges for employing feedback control with humans in the loop. They are: (i) the need for a comprehensive understanding of the complete spectrum of the types of human-in-the-loop controls, (ii) the need for extensions to system identification or other techniques to derive models of human behaviors, and (iii) most importantly, determining how to incorporate ...

Adversary Modeling and Simulation in Cyber Warfare

Modeling and simulation provide many excellent benefits in preparation for successful cyber operations. Whether used for creating realistic training environments, testing new cyber warfare techniques, or predicting possible adversary actions, it is critical for such simulations to take into account the possibility of an active cyber adversary, able to adapt its plans to network conditions. With...

Cyber Security of Cyber Physical Systems: Cyber Threats and Defense of Critical Infrastructures

Most critical infrastructures such as the power grid, railway or air traffic control, industrial automation in manufacturing, water/sewage infrastructure, banking system, etc., are cyber physical systems (CPS). Since continued availability of the major functions of these are extremely important for economic and normal lives of people, there is a wide spread concern that these might come under i...

Formalizing Agents' Beliefs for Cyber-Security Defense Strategy Planning

Abstract. Critical information infrastructures have been exposed to an increasing number of cyber attacks in recent years. Current protection approaches consider the reaction to a threat from an operational perspective, but leave out human aspects of an attacker. The problem is, no matter how good a defense planning from an operational perspective is, it must be considered that any action taken...
