Cyberphysical Security in Networked Control Systems: An Introduction to the Issue

2015 IEEE Control Systems  
T his special issue provides an introduction to cyberphysical security of networked control systems (NCSs) and summarizes recent progress in applying fundamentals of systems theory and decision sciences to this new and increasingly promising area. NCS applications range from large-scale industrial applications to critical infrastructures such as water, transportation, and electricity networks. The security of NCSs naturally depends on the integration of cyber and physical dynamics and on

The six articles that constitute this special issue approach cyberphysical security from a variety of perspectives, including control theory, optimization, and game theory. They cover a range of topics such as models of attack and defense, risk assessment, imAgE icEnsEd BY gRAphic stock
