Physics Rules: Workshop on Holistic Foundations of Cyber-physical Systems

Abstract

Cyber-enabled physical systems include all sorts of military equipment (e.g. tanks, submarines, aircrafts, satellites, missile, radar, etc.) of the DoD that need to operate in adversarial environments during their mission. Most military equipment has long service life, and rely on the use of the legacy hardware, software and protocols and could not anticipate cyberattacks. Effective retrofitting resiliency against cyber-attacks and incorporating them into existing legacy systems is one of the fertile areas of research. Developing effective resilient CPSrequire one to understand the foundations that govern the performance, control and dynamics of the CPS, all of which are governed by the underpinning physics of the system and the environment in which it operates. Such a design thinking requires a fresh and holistic approach for analysis, synthesis and design.University of Washington (UW) would like to organize and hold a one and a half days long technical meeting to bring together independent CPS researchers working on various aspects of cps research. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss different perspectives on the CPS including the dynamics, physics, control, communications, computing, deployment and analysis to understand the foundations that would lead to resilient cyber physical systems for the future naval applications.
