Resarch Theme: Resilience of Networked Control Systems
Resarch Theme: Resilience of Networked Control Systems
A Networked Control System (NCS) is a control system wherein the control loops are closed through a communication network. The defining feature of an NCS is that control and feedback signals are exchanged among the system's components in the form of information packages through a network. One of the emerging notions in designing NCSs is building the interdependencies between components in the network to ensure the safety, security, and resilience of the designed system to unexpected events, such as faults, failures, communication disturbances, delays, and even attacks. In this direction, my research primarily concerns the analysis of the robustness and resilience of network control systems to such events.
