Topic: Societal Scale Cyber Physical Systems
Abstract:
The
scope
of
the
research
agenda
of
Cyber
Physical
Systems
(CPS)
has
expanded
to
include
the
Internet
of
Things
(IoT),
Mechanism
and
Incentive
Design,
Resilience
and
Cyber
Security,
and
data
analytics
for
Big
Data
arising
from
CPS
Systems.
Much
work
has
been
done
in
recent
years
on
the
evolution
of
‘Action
Webs’;
moreover,
closing
the
loop
around
IoT
networked
sensors.
These
networked
control
systems
are
fast-becoming
the
next
generation
societal-scale.
Societal
Scale
CPS
systems
need
to
offer
new
data
oriented
service
models,
be
robust,
fault
tolerant,
and
able
to
operate
through
cyber-attacks.
Thus,
the
agenda
of
Societal
Scale
CPS
Systems
very
much
expands
on
IoT.
Additionally,
the
advent
of
Societal
Scale
CPS
Systems
is
causing
the
emergence
of
new
models
for
monetization
for
the
offering
of
new
data
oriented
services.
In
this
lecture,
the
rudiments
of
a
theory
of
resilient
societal
CPS
systems
will
be
discussed,
including
the
modeling
of
utility
based
privacy
and
security.
Further,
the
discussion
will
also
focus
on
the
provision
of
economic
incentives
to
private
entities
which
own
individual
action
webs
to
address
issues
of
“under
investment
in
the
common
good”.
More
technically,
this
is
a
mechanism
design
procedure
for
helping
bridge
the
gap
between
the
non-cooperative
Nash
equilibrium
of
multiple
players
and
the
societal
optimum
strategy.
The lecture is based on Sastry’s joint work with several researchers and past and ongoing students.
