The 2025 American Control Conference. Full day workshop on Monday 7th July 2025.
Register for W06: Resiliency of cyber-physical-human systems.
Registrants are encouraged to prepare a poster on their work, which will be displayed during the workshop and an interactive session will be dedicated to discussions at the posters.
Cyber-physical-human systems (CPHS) represent a class of networked humans and control systems with vast and promising applications, such as smart cities, distributed sensing and control based on Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and utility networks. These systems are under novel threats to the functionality of CPHS, such as malicious cyber-attacks, unforeseen events or human agents that may negatively affect the physical domain.
