INVITED SPEAKER SEMINAR - Resilient MPC Scheme for Cyber-Physical Systems Subject to False Data Injection

Date: Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, from 11 a.m.    
Location: EV 3.309

Abstract

This seminar addresses the resilient control problem for constrained cyber–physical systems subject to false data injections (FDI). The core of the proposed approach involves defining an ad-hoc versatile framework, which is capable of adapting to various attack categories. This adaptability is achieved through the receding horizon control (RHC) philosophy exploited here for detection, countermeasures, and control purposes. Specifically, set-theoretic model predictive arguments are combined with perturbation analysis and sequential quadratic programming to mitigate as best as possible the frequency of refresh procedures on the communication network when resilient command actions are no longer viable. The framework is tailored for covert attacks by detailing actuation and detection phases, and by proving feasibility and closed-loop stability properties

Biography

Dr. Domenico Famularo received a laurea degree in computer engineering from the University of Calabria, Italy, in 1991, and a Ph.D. in computational mechanics from the University of Rome, Italy, in 1996. From 1991 to 2000, he was a Research Associate at the University of Calabria. In 1997, he was a visiting Scholar Research at the University of New Mexico (USA), and in 1999, he held the same position at the University of Southern California (USA). He was a Researcher at ICAR-CNR, and since 2005, he has been an Associate Professor at the University of Calabria. His current research interests include control under constraints, control reconfiguration for fault-tolerant systems, and networked control systems.
