SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Robots Gone Wrong: The role of failure in human-robot interactions
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2023\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur February seminar is with Dr Rebecca Stower\, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Social Robotics Lab (SORO) at the Division of Robotics\, Perception and Learning here at KTH.  This will be a hybrid event\, and is jointly organized by TECoSA and Digital Futures.  The Zoom link is https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66857695267\, and the real-life location will be shared with those who sign-up. \nABSTRACT: As robotics research continues to advance\, there are increased opportunities for humans and robots to coexist in workplaces\, homes\, and public spaces. Yet\, alongside this increased presence comes also more opportunities for failures to occur. Such failures can be physical\, technical\, or social and can lead to sometimes severe communication and task breakdowns. In this seminar\, I will cover the role of such failures in shaping (different kinds of) human-robot interactions. I will also discuss different psychological concepts that are especially relevant to assessing and understanding robot failures\, including trust\, robot agency\, and likeability. This research can also be considered in light of the replication crisis\, where different challenges might be encountered by researchers when designing and implementing user studies involving both humans and robots. Consequently\, the seminar will also consider the role of interdisciplinary robotics research in addressing such challenges. \nBIO: Rebecca Stower  is a postdoctoral researcher in the social robotics lab (SORO) at the Division of Robotics\, Perception and Learning at KTH Royal Institution of Technology in Stockholm\, Sweden. Previously\, she worked as a researcher at the Paris8 CHArt Laboratory in collaboration with the Laboratory of Intuitive and Natural Interactions with Teleoperated Robots (INIT) in Montreal. She graduated with her PhD in Psychology in 2021 as part of the ANIMATAS H2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie European Training Network (2018-2022). She is interested in the role of failures during human robot interactions\, and how this affects people’s attitudes and behaviours towards robots. She is also highly involved with interdisciplinary research and the open science movement.  You can read more on her homepage! \n

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Dynamic Games for Cyber Deception
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Autumn 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email vickid@kth.se to register.\nOur December seminar is with Quanyan Zhu\, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NYU\, and Director of LARX\, the Laboratory for Agile and Resilient Complex Systems.  This event is jointly organized by TECoSA and Digital Futures\, where Prof Zhu is currently a scholar  in residence. \nVenue:  This session takes place via Zoom (https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66857695267)\, and on KTH Campus (The Cafeteria\, Digital Futures Hub\, Osquars Backe 5\, floor 2).  If you plan to join in real life\, please email vickid @  kth.se by 28 November (so we can organise fika).   \nABSTRACT:  Deception and anti-deception technologies are new paradigms of active cyber defense. They provide defenders a proactive and autonomous security mechanism by engaging the adversaries and influencing their moves to the defender’s advantage. Game theory captures the strategic and self-interested nature of attackers and defenders in cybersecurity. It provides an ideal set of quantitative tools to develop such a framework to analyze and design deception. In this talk\, we first present a taxonomy of deception and counter-deception and understand how they can be conceptualized\, quantified\, and designed or mitigated. Then\, we present a class of dynamic games of incomplete information to capture the fundamental characteristics of deception and demonstrate the applications of game theory and learning in problems such as attack engagement\, lateral movement\, and information manipulation. The talk will also discuss open problems and research challenges that the game theory community can address and contribute with an objective to build a multidisciplinary bridge between game theory and cybersecurity. \nBIO:  Quanyan Zhu received B. Eng. in Honors Electrical Engineering from McGill University in 2006\, M. A. Sc. from the University of Toronto in 2008\, and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2013. After stints at Princeton University\, he is currently an associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, New York University (NYU). He is an affiliated faculty member of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) and Center for Cyber Security (CCS) at NYU. He is a recipient of many awards\, including NSF CAREER Award\, NYU Goddard Junior Faculty Fellowship\, NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF)\, NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS)\, and Mavis Future Faculty Fellowships. He spearheaded and chaired INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control on Smart Energy Systems (CCSES)\, Midwest Workshop on Control and Game Theory (WCGT)\, and ICRA workshop on Security and Privacy of Robotics. His current research interests include game theory\, machine learning\, cyber deception\, network optimization and control\, smart cities\, Internet of Things\, and cyber-physical systems. He has served as the general chair or the TPC chair of the 7th and the 11th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec) in 2016 and 2020\, the 9th International Conference on NETwork Games\, COntrol and OPtimisation (NETGCOOP) in 2018\, the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Security (ICAIS 2019) in 2019\, and 2020 IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS). He is a co-author of three recent books published by Springer: Cyber-Security in Critical Infrastructures: A Game-Theoretic Approach (with S. Rass\, S. Schauer\, and S. König)\, A Game- and Decision-Theoretic Approach to Resilient Interdependent Network Analysis and Design (with J. Chen)\, and Cross-Layer Design for Secure and Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems: A Decision and Game Theoretic Approach (with Z. Xu).

SUMMARY:How does edge AI change the principles of communications and computing?
DESCRIPTION:A Digital Futures Distinguished lecture with Kaibin Huang from The University of Hong Kong\nAbstract: Data has replaced oil as the world’s most valuable resource. An enormous amount of data is being generated 24/7 by tens of billions of edge devices at the network edge. Their distillation into AI using machine learning algorithms promises to automate practically unlimited IoT applications ranging from autonomous driving to virtual reality. This gives rise to a hot area known as edge intelligence\, a distinctive feature of 6G mobile networks. \nThree questions will be asked to understand the induced paradigm shift in communications:\n1) Is reliable communication always needed?\n2) Is interference always a foe?\n3) Is analogue computing outdated? \nProf Huang will introduce some 6G edge-intelligence technologies that feature communication-computing fusion to find negative answers to these questions. They include channel-noise protected/accelerated edge AI\, over-the-air federated learning\, and neuromorphic computing-empowered ultra-fast baseband processing. \nYou can find Prof Huang’s bio and the Zoom link at: https://www.digitalfutures.kth.se/event/distinguished-lecture-kaibin-huang-the-university-of-hong-kong/

SUMMARY:Efficient Strategies for Safety Assurance of Automated Driving - half-time PhD seminar and discussion (Magnus Gyllenhammar with Prof Mario Trapp)
DESCRIPTION:This session takes place in conjunction with a Guest Seminar (10-11 Engineering Resilience for Cognitive Systems) and an Interactive Workshop (15.30-17.00 Holistic Technological Perspectives on Safety of Automated Driving Systems -Methods for Provision of evidence).  If you are interested in joining for some or all of this Resilience Meets Assurance day\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register\, stating which session(s) and whether you would like to join in real life (KTH Campus) or via Zoom.  (Members can accept the Outlook invitations.) \n  \n \nMagnus Gyllenhammar\nABSTRACT: Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) promise enormous benefits to society in terms of increased comfort\, safety and efficiency of the transportation system\, effectively by relieving the vehicle operator from the responsibility of driving the vehicle. Contrary to previous generations of automotive systems\, common development and safety assurance practises no longer suffice to accommodate the increased system complexity and operational uncertainty inherent to an ADS. This is why we have yet to see a large scale deployment of ADSs on public roads\, despite recent technological progress and the promises made by several high-profile auto-makers. For that purpose\, I have in my research explored the research question: What are efficient strategies for safety assurance of ADSs? In this seminar\, I present my contributions to-date\, wherein some insights I have gained when tackling this research question are collected. In particular\, I divide my contributions into three themes: understanding the completeness of the development and verification task of the ADS; deriving a driving policy for the ADS with respect to quantitative safety requirements while incorporating knowledge from operational data\, and surveying the state-of-the art\, both general methods providing evidence for safety of the ADS as well as assurance methods. Leaning on these insights\, I present my intended next steps of my thesis: my intended research direction and the proposed research questions to guide me through to the dissertation. More specifically\, I intend to merge the existing approach of dynamic risk assessment\, wherein the decisions of the ADS are conditioned on the current operating conditions; and the precautionary safety approach\, where quantitative safety requirements are fulfilled through a probabilistic view of risk. Thereby\, I hope to provide an assurance approach that is both effective and efficient by considering risk\, from a statistical standpoint\, while\, in run-time\, conditionally deriving appropriate actions based on the experienced operating conditions of the ADS. \nThe presentation will be followed by a discussion led by Professor Mario Trapp\, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems at IKS (Munich\, Germany).    \nBIO:  Magnus Gyllenhammar pursues a PhD at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as part of his employment at Zenseact in Gothenburg. His research focuses on finding efficient strategies for safety argumentation of ADSs\, especially focusing on dynamic risk assessment in relation to the fulfilment of a quantitative risk norm. He received a MSc. in Engineering Physics\, major in Complex Adaptive System\, from Chalmers University of Technology\, in 2016. In 2018 he joined Zenseact (then Zenuity) and has since worked on creating and realising data-driven strategies for verification and safety argumentation of ADSs.

SUMMARY:Guest Seminar: Engineering Resilience for Cognitive Systems
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to share this open seminar from guest speaker Professor Mario Trapp\, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS (Munich\, Germany).  It takes place in conjunction with a Half-time PhD Seminar & Discussion (13.00-15.00 Efficient Strategies for Safety Assurance of Automated Driving) and an Interactive Workshop (15.30-17.00 Holistic Technological Perspectives on Safety of Automated Driving Systems -Methods for Provision of evidence).  If you are interested in joining for some or all of this Resilience Meets Assurance day\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register\, stating which session(s) and whether you would like to join in real life (KTH Campus) or via Zoom.  (Members can accept the Outlook invitations.) \n \nABSTRACT:  Resilience is currently one of the most popular terms as soon as it comes to the quality of software-intensive systems. Mostly\, however\, it is just used as a modern label for existing dependability concepts. But resilience is much more than that. It stands for the property of a system to optimize utility whilst preserving safety in uncertain contexts. This means  a tremendous change of principles. Resilience is about building flexible structures that are capable to adapt to even unforeseen contexts by changing their structure and their behavior – it is the goal to optimize utility whilst preserving safety\, it is not the goal to preserve a fixed structure and behavior that were specified a-priori without knowing the contexts the system would have to face. To this end\, systems must become aware of their own state and context and adapt themselves\, i.e. yielding real resilience requires self-adaptivity\, which comes along with a long list of challenges if it comes to safety-critical systems. \nThis talk will therefore provide a deeper insight into the concept of resilience\, how it differs from classical dependability\, and how to engineer resilient systems in safety-critical applications. To this end\, it will approach a definition of resilience based on existing work in the dependability field but also by revisiting the history of resilience in other disciplines. It will elaborate what we can learn from the physical\, psychological\, and ecological mechanisms of resilience and it will derive a conceptual framework for Cognitive Resilience that helps us to engineer resilient cognitive systems. \nBIO:  apl. Prof. Dr. habil. Mario Trapp is Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS.  In 2005\, he obtained his PhD with distinction from the University of Kaiserslautern\, where he also did his habilitation in 2016. In 2005\, he joined Fraunhofer IESE\, where he was initially responsible as a department head for the topic area of safety-critical software before being head of the “Embedded Systems” division from 2009 to 2017. After being appointed Acting Director of Fraunhofer ESK (today Fraunhofer IKS) effective January 1\, 2018\, he assumed this role on a permanent basis on May 1\, 2019. \nFor many years\, Prof Trapp has been contributing his expertise in the development of innovative embedded systems in the context of successful partner projects\, in cooperation with both leading international corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. His current personal research focus is on safety assurance for autonomous and distributed systems\, which form the technological basis of many future scenarios such as Industrie 4.0 or automated driving. \nHe is the author of numerous international scientific publications and teaches as an apl.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Wearable Cognitive Assistance:  Vision\, Reality and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nThe final seminar this Spring is given in conjunction with the 8th Quarterly Meeting for members\, held in real life here in Stockholm.  However\, if you wish to join the seminar on-line\, you can do so via: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66857695267. \nOur guest speaker is Mahadev Satyanarayanan\, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (also a member of TECoSA’s International Scientific Advisory Board)\, who will be addressing\nWearable Cognitive Assistance:  Vision\, Reality and Challenges \n \nABSTRACT:  Viewed as mobile computing systems with built-in sensing\, processing\, and persistent storage\, humans are the result of more than 1 billion years of evolution. Our chances of improving upon nature in a short time (say\, 10 years) are negligible if we are bound by the same rules as biological evolution. However\, we have a unique opportunity that is not available to nature\, namely\, to amplify human cognition in real time through low-latency\, wireless access to infrastructure resources. These resources can be larger\, heavier\, more energy hungry\, and more heat dissipative than could ever be carried or worn by a human user.   Edge Computing and 5G are key enablers of this vision.  We have been exploring wearable cognitive assistance since 2014\, and built close to 20 applications of this genre.   In this talk\, I will share what we have learned through this experience.   The potential for this emerging technology to improve human productivity in many domains is indisputable.  At the same time\, important challenges must be overcome to realize this potential. \nBIO:  Satya’s multi-decade research career has focused on the challenges of performance\, scalability\, availability and trust in information systems that reach from the cloud to the mobile edge of the Internet.  In the course of this work\, he has pioneered many advances in distributed systems\, mobile computing\, pervasive computing\, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Most recently\, his seminal 2009 publication “The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing” and the ensuing research has  led to the emergence of Edge Computing.  Satya is the Carnegie Group University Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.  He received the PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon\, after Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Madras. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE.  You can read more about his research at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Fog Computing for Cooperative and Autonomous Driving
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur May seminar is with Assistant Professor Yu Xiao\, head of Aalto University’s mc² Mobile Cloud Computing Group.  The session will be chaired by James Gross\, and given in Zoom. \nABSTRACT:  The emerging vehicular applications demand for a lot more computing and communication capacity to excel in their compute-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks. Vehicular fog computing is an emerging computing paradigm where computing resources are moved to vehicles or network infrastructure close to vehicles for shortening network latency and reducing ingress traffic to the cloud.  In this talk\, we will introduce the ongoing work at the mobile cloud computing group of Aalto University (mobilecloud.aalto.fi)\, covering fog-powered vehicular applications like vision-based mapping and localization\, deployment of fog nodes in 5G networks\, and data-driven resource and capacity planning for vehicular fog computing.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Next generation IoT: Europe‘s opportunity of Open Edge Computing Platforms
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur April seminar is with Rolf Riemenschneider\, Head of Sector “Internet of Things”\, DG CONNECT\, European Commission. The session will be chaired by Martin Törngren\, and given in Zoom. \nABSTRACT:  Next generation IoT and Edge Computing are driven by a paradigm shift towards decentralised intelligence\, local and swarm computing. Edge computing offers new ways of using computational rexources\, enabling to move computation\, processing and analytics to the edge of the network and close to the place where data is generated. The new paradigm is characterised by advances in embedded and AI processors\, local decision making and reasoning on distributed data and across the computing continuum\, from IoT to edge to cloud.  The new paradigm requires a different research and innovation perspective in terms of management across the computing continuum\, programming environments for distributed IoT systems and an open platform model to deliver the integration of different edge technologies but also a business execution model that can offer the potential to accelerate market adoption and scale. \nThe presentation will focus on the strategic approach taken to support research and innovation technologies ‘From Cloud to Edge to IoT’ under the European Horizon Europe programme.  For more details\, see https://www.ngiot.eu/from-cloud-to-edge-to-iot-for-european-data/ \nBIO: Rolf Riemenschneider is involved in the research and innovation programme Horizon 2020 where he gained experience in research and innovation project management and European policies in the following areas: Advanced Computing\, Cyber Physical Systems\, Factories of the Future and Internet of Things. From 2009-2015\, he managed the ICT activities of the Public-Private Partnership Factories of the Future (PPP FOF). Since 2015\, he coordinates the cross-cutting activities  related to Internet of Things in Horizon 2020  across different policy streams with DG AGRI\, DG ENER\, DG MOVE and DG GROW. \nInside DG Connect\, he leads the research\, innovation and deployment of the next generation of the IoT with strong computing capacity at the edge exploring features like device virtualisation\, interoperability\, real-time\, energy efficiency and distributed intelligence. As an emerging innovation domain\, his key objective is to establish European supply and value chains in cloud to edge to IoT applications and the tactile internet by integrating relevant elements of computing\, connectivity\, IoT and AI. \nOne of the key horizontal activities related to achieving the targets of the Green Deal\, encompasses the Digitisation of the Energy System\, which includes IoT-driven interoperable solutions and products\, available especially in the home and buildings\, to enable an increased flexibility in energy consumption\, foster the integration of renewable energy\, and flexible charging of electric vehicles as well as  innovative application and services across sectors like home\, building\, energy and mobility.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - A Data\, Information and Time model for Distributed real-time computer systems
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday* of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nThe March talk (*moved slightly to accommodate sportlov) is given by Prof Hermann Kopetz\, Vienna University of Technology.  The session will be chaired by Martin Törngren\, and given as a hybrid option (you can join in Zoom or at KTH Campus).  This seminar will be held in collaboration with Digital Futures: Distinguished lecture: Prof Hermann Kopetz\, Vienna University of Technology — Digital Futures (kth.se) \nThe Data\, Information\, and Time (DIT) Model \nABSTRACT:  This seminar aims to present a model that clarifies the semantics behind the terms data\, information and their relations to the passage of real time. According to the DIT model a data item is a symbol the signifier of which  appears as a pattern (e.g. visual\, sound\, gesture\, or any bit pattern) in physical space.  The signifier of the symbol is generated by a human or a machine in the current contextual situation and is linked to a concept in the human mind or a set of operations of a machine as its signified.  An information item delivers the sense or the idea that a human mind extracts out of a given natural language proposition that is composed of meaningful data items. Since the given tangible\, intangible and temporal context are part of the explanation of a data item\, a change of context can have an effect on the meaning of data and the sense of a proposition. The DIT model provides a framework to show how the flow of time can change the truth-value of a proposition. Prof Kopetz compares the notions of data\, information\, and time in differing contexts: in human communication\, in the operation of a computer system and in a biological system.  In the final section\, he will present a simple example to demonstrate how the lessons learned from the DIT-model can help to reduce the complexity and improve the design of a real-time computer system. \nBIO:Hermann Kopetz is a professor emeritus at Vienna University of Technology. He was named an IEEE Fellow in 1994 for contributions to fault-tolerant\, real-time systems. He is a cofounder of the company TTTech https://www.tttech.com/innovation/research-projects/. \npublication date 16 April 2022

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Privacy-preserving Dynamic Controllers
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Autumn they will once again be on-line\, and all are welcome to join (members accept the Outlook invite\, non-members please email “tecosa-admin@kth.se”). Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members. \nMing Cao\nOur third speaker this autumn is Prof Ming Cao from the Engineering and Technology Institute at the University of Groningen.  Please see the abstract and short biography below.  To read more about his research\, please see:  https://www.rug.nl/staff/m.cao/research \nPanel: Lei Feng (Chair)\,  Haydn Thompson (THHINK)\, Sonja Buchegger (KTH) \nPrivacy-preserving Dynamic Controllers  \nABSTRACT: With the fast development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing\, privacy concerns of the gathering\, processing and using of data have become a central research topic. As a quantitative criterion for privacy of “mechanisms” in the form of data-generating processes\, the concept of differential privacy was first proposed in computer science and has later been applied to linear control systems. In fact\, differential privacy can be further studied taking into account properties of dynamical systems\, and then be utilized for controller design. In this talk\, I first clarify that a classical concept in systems and control\, input observability (sometimes referred to as left invertibility)\, has a strong connection with differential privacy. In particular\, I show that the Gaussian mechanism can be made highly differentially private by adding small noise if the corresponding system is less input observable. Then I discuss a method to design dynamic controllers for the classic tracking control problem while addressing privacy concerns. We call the obtained controller through our design method the privacy-preserving controller. The usage of such controllers is further explained by the new insight into the trade-off between control performance and privacy level. \nBIO:  Since 2016\, Ming Cao has been a professor of networks and robotics at the Engineering and Technology Institute (ENTEG) at the University of Groningen\, the Netherlands\, where he started as an assistant professor in 2008.  He received the Bachelor degree in 1999 and the Master degree in 2002 from Tsinghua University\, Beijing\, China\, and the Ph.D. degree in 2007 from Yale University\, New Haven\, CT\, USA\, all in Electrical Engineering.   From September 2007 to August 2008\, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University\, USA. He worked as a research intern during the summer of 2006 with the Mathematical Sciences Department at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center\, NY\, USA. \nHe is the 2017 and inaugural recipient of the Manfred Thoma medal from the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) and the 2016 recipient of the European Control Award sponsored by the European Control Association (EUCA). He is a Senior Editor for Systems and Control Letters\, an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control\, and was an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Resilient Supervisory Control Against Smart Cyberattacks in Discrete-Event Dynamic Systems
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Autumn they will once again be on-line\, and all are welcome to join (members accept the Outlook invite\, non-members please email “tecosa-admin@kth.se”). Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members. \n\n             Rong SU\n\n\nThe series continues with a presentation from Dr Rong Su\, Associate Professor at the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University.  Please see the abstract and short biography below; and you can read more about his research at: https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/rsu/ \nPanel: Lei Feng (Chair)\, Panagiotis Papadimitratos and Henrik Sandberg \nResilient Supervisory Control Against Smart Cyberattacks in Discrete-Event Dynamic Systems\nABSTRACT: With the continuous advancement of ICT\, we are enjoying unprecedented connectivity around the world. However\, the threat of cyberattacks has more frequently become the center of attention\, which has been attracting lots of research from different communities\, including the discrete-event system community\, where different attack models are conjectured and analyzed\, upon which relevant defense techniques have been proposed. Considering the diversity of cyberattacks on discrete-event systems\, in this talk I will focus on a special type called “smart” attacks\, which\, if exist\, will not be detected by the supervisor until an unstoppable process takes place that may lead to damage. An attack may be applied either to an observation channel\, or to a command channel\, or to both simultaneously. After introducing some models of observation and command channel attacks\, I will describe\, from an attacker’s point of view\, how to synthesize a smart attack strategy. Sufficient and necessary conditions will be given to ensure the existence of such a strategy. It turns out that the synthesis of an attack-resilient supervisor is more challenging\, owing to not only complexity concerns\, but also possible undecidability of solution existence in a general setup. Nevertheless\, for a special observation-channel attack\, where an attacker only aims for possible but not necessarily assured damage\, captured by the concept of weak attackability\, the existence of a resilient supervisor is decidable. \nBIO: Dr Su’s research interests include multi-agent systems\, discrete-event system theory\, model-based fault diagnosis\, cyber security analysis and synthesis\, control and optimization of complex networks with applications in flexible manufacturing\, intelligent transportation\, human-robot interface\, power management and green building. In the aforementioned areas he has more than 180 journal and conference publications\, 2 granted US/Singapore patents\, and 5 technical disclosures\, and has been involved in several projects sponsored by Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF)\, Singapore Agency of Science\, Technology and Research (A*STAR)\, Singapore Ministry of Education (MoE)\, Singapore Civil Aviation Authority (CAAS) and Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). Dr Su is a senior member of IEEE\, and an associate editor for Automatica (IFAC)\, Journal of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications\, and Journal of Control and Decision. He is also the Chair of the Technical Committee on Smart Cities in the IEEE Control Systems Society.

SUMMARY:17th ACACES International Summer School
DESCRIPTION:The 17th International Summer School on Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation for High-Performance and Embedded Systems takes place in Fiuggi\, Italy from Sunday 12 – Saturday 18 September 2021 https://www.hipeac.net/acaces/2021/ \nThe ACACES Summer School is a one-week summer school for computer architects and tool builders working in the field of embedded systems\, high performance computer architecture\, and compilation. The school aims at the dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of international contacts among scientists from academia and industry. A distinguishing feature of this Summer School is its broad scope ranging from low-level technological issues to advanced compilation techniques and entrepreneurship. In the design of modern computer systems one has to be knowledgeable about architecture as well as about the quality of the code\, and how to improve it. This summer school offers the ideal mix of the two worlds\, both at the entry level and at the most advanced level. \nThe ACACES Summer School is organized by the HiPEAC Network (www.HiPEAC.net) in collaboration with the TETRAMAX Innovation Action (www.tetramax.eu)\, but it is open to everybody. However\, previous training and/or experience in computer science as well as a background in computer architecture or compilation is indispensable. In order to have a good mix of senior and junior participants\, the school also encourages senior researchers and professors to participate. \nThe Summer School will take place in Fiuggi\, a small town near Rome\, Italy. Students and lecturers will be accommodated in private hotel rooms with standard hotel accommodation. There will be many opportunities for interaction among the participants\, both in and out of the classrooms\, during the meals\, at the bar or at the swimming pool\, in the fitness room\, in the spa and in the city. Long after-the-lecture discussions are one of the major assets of this summer school. You will remember this summer school for a long time. \nObviously\, we will have to comply with all the sanitary rules imposed by the Italian government in September.  The COVID-19 situation will hopefully be sufficiently contained to allow the school to operate normally. \nScientific Program\nSunday evening 12 September:\nOpening ceremony with keynote talk by Irfan Mirza\, Microsoft. \nStarting on Monday 13 September 2021:\n12 courses spread over two morning slots and two afternoon slots. Per slot there are three parallel courses of which one can be taken.

In the process we have become familiar with attacks from poisoning to polymorphism\, and issues from redlining to snake oil. The neural network revolution has recently brought many people into ML research who are unfamiliar with this history\, so it should surprise nobody that many new products are insecure. In this talk I will describe some recent research projects where we examine whether we should try to make machine-vision systems robust against adversarial samples\, or fragile enough to detect them when they appear; whether adversarial samples have constructive uses; how we can do service-denial attacks on neural-network models; on the need to sanity-check outputs; and on the need to sanitise inputs.  We need to shift the emphasis from the design of “secure” ML classifiers\, to the design of secure systems that use ML classifiers as components. \nBIO: Ross Anderson is Professor of Security Engineering at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Cambridge. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities on security. In 2015 he won the Lovelace Medal\, Britain’s top award in computing.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Deterministic Reactive Software for Embedded\, Edge\, and Cloud Systems
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Spring they will be on-line\, and all are welcome to join. Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members.\nMarten Lohstroh\nThe eighth speaker in our series is Dr Martin Lohstroh of UC Berkeley\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.  Marten is a postdoctoral researcher advised by Professor Edward A. Lee\, who was also his doctoral adviser. Since obtaining his PhD from Berkeley\, he has remained focused on disproving the dogma that determinism is fundamentally at odds with high performance\, and making the case that time is a valuable and under leveraged abstraction in computing. In 2018\, he was a recipient of the Systems and Software Modeling (SoSyM) Best Paper Award.  Marten also holds a BSc in Computer Science and MSc in Grid Computing\, both from the University of Amsterdam. (https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~marten/) \nPanel: György Dan (Chair)\, Ingemar Söderquist (SAAB)\, Martin Törngren (KTH) \nPlease email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register! \nDeterministic Reactive Software for Embedded\, Edge\, and Cloud Systems \nABSTRACT:  Determinism is notoriously hard to achieve in concurrent systems\, and this poses serious challenges to our ability to build confidence in the correctness of their implementation. The growing pervasiveness of networked computing and a trend towards integrating computationally demanding artificial intelligence components into real-time cyber-physical systems (think of robotics\, autonomous vehicles\, etc.) add urgency to this problem. This talk is about a solution in the form of a concurrent programming model called reactors (actors\, revisited)\, that delivers determinism by default. The execution of reactors is underpinned by a temporal model that incorporates a multiplicity of timelines—some logical\, relating to discrete synchronous-reactive ticks\, and some physical\, relating to the passage of wall-clock time. The relationship that reactors establish between events across timelines allows for the construction of programs that react predictably to unpredictable external events. Moreover\, determinism in reactor systems can be maintained in a distributed setting under quantifiable assumptions. We discuss this work through the lens of Lingua Franca (LF)\, a polyglot reactor-oriented coordination language developed in a collaboration between UC Berkeley\, UT Dallas\, TU Dresden\, and Kiel University. Distributed LF programs may span deeply embedded\, edge\, and cloud systems. \nDates in the Seminar Series for this academic year have included: 1 October\, 5 November\, 3 December\, 4 February\, 4 March\, 1 April\, 6 May\, 3 June. Dates for Autumn’21 and Spring’22 will be announced after the summer.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Anomaly Detection and Causal Reasoning about Attacks in SCADA Systems
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Spring they will be on-line\, and all are welcome to join. Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members.\nKlara Nahrstedt\nThe seventh speaker in our series is Prof Klara Nahrstedt\, Director of the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prof Nahrstedt is also a member of TECoSA’s International Scientific Advisory Board.

SCADA devices and networks are often subject to a wide range of attacks coming from external attackers and/or internal misconfigurations.  Traditional intrusion detection systems are deployed to ensure the security of SCADA systems\, but they often focus on monitoring only one or two levels of network data\, such as traffic or source data\, and continuously generate a large number of alerts without further analyzing them for causal reasoning. \nIn this talk\, we present anomaly detection systems\, such as ED4GAP and EDMOND\, and a causal reasoning framework\, such as CAPTAR. ED4GAP is an efficient edge-based detector for GOOSE-based source data attacks. EDMOND is an edge-based anomaly detector for MODBUS traffic\, which analyzes SCADA network anomalies at all three levels of network traffic data (transport\, protocol\, source data)\, aggregates alerts to decrease the volume of alerts\, and sends aggregated alerts to control center for causal analysis. CAPTAR is a cloud-based causal reasoning framework which correlates and matches aggregated alerts to causal polytrees. Bayesian inference is performed on the causal polytrees to produce a high-level view of the security state of the protected SCADA network. We will discuss the anomaly detection and causal reasoning analyses on attack examples\, and show experimentally that\, using GOOSE\, MODBUS and DNP3 network traffic\, we can do anomaly detection and attack reasoning in real-time. \nJoint work with Dr. Wenyu Ren\, Dr. Tuo Yu\, Dr. Atul Bohara\, Dr. Jordi Ros-Giralt\, Ghada Elbez\, Tim Yardley\, Al Valdes\, Prof. Bill Sanders in the Information Trust Institute (ITI) at University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. \nBIO: Klara Nahrstedt is the Grainger Distinguished Chair of Engineering Professor in the Computer Science Department\, and Director of Coordinated Science Laboratory in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests are directed toward end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) and resource management in large scale multimedia distributed systems and networks\, and real-time security and privacy in cyber-physical systems.

Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members.\nAaron Ding\nThe sixth speaker in our series is Asst Prof Aaron Ding\, Assistant Professor in Engineering Systems & Services at TU Delft and Adjunct Professor in Computer Science at University of Helsinki .You can read more at: http://homepage.tudelft.nl/8e79t/ \nPanel: James Gross (Chair)\, Tor Ericson (AFRY)\, Raksha Ramkrishna (KTH) \nPlease email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register! \nEdge Intelligence: The Surprises\, Risks and Lessons  \nABSTRACT: Similar to the transition from Cloud to Cloud Intelligence\, we are witnessing a fast evolution from the Internet of Things to the Internet of Intelligent Things (IoIT). The IoIT paves the way to a programmable infrastructure that can consolidate the power of the Cloud and distributed computing resources to enhance performance\, resilience\, and quality of experience for users. The envisioned programmable infrastructure has the potential to bring our society to the next level\, by making it more intelligent\, more sustainable\, healthier\, and forging innovations in numerous fields such as autonomous driving\, smart energy\, logistics\, and e-health. \nBehind the curtains\, one of the key enablers for this vision is Edge Intelligence – a powerful combination of edge computing and artificial intelligence. This talk will present my investigations on Edge Intelligence with a system flavor. Besides sharing my first-hand experience of system design and development\, the talk will reveal several pitfalls and lessons learned through live cases. The goal is twofold: 1) to disclose blind spots and interesting directions that deserve further investigations in our community\, and 2) to share my observations on doing system research in such “buzzword bingo” domain\, especially what could hinder us from transferring the mostly fun system work into solid scientific outcome. \nDates in the Seminar Series include: 1 October\, 5 November\, 3 December\, 4 February\, 4 March\, 1 April\, 6 May\, 3 June

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Real-time Virtualization\, Concurrency Platforms\, and Middleware: from Devices to Edge Servers
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Spring they will be on-line\, and all are welcome to join. Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members.\nChris Gill\nThe fifth speaker in our series is Prof. Chris Gill from Washington University in St. Louis.  You can read more about his research here: https://datasciences.wustl.edu/people/chris-gill/  The abstract is below. \nPanel: Martin Törngren (Chair)\,  Ingemar Söderquist (SAAB)\, David Broman (KTH) \nPlease email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register! \nReal-time Virtualization\, Concurrency Platforms\, and Middleware: from Devices to Edge Servers \nABSTRACT: As embedded devices\, platforms\, and software become ever more sophisticated\, the range of real-time\, embedded\, and cyber-physical applications they enable becomes increasingly broad\, diverse\, and compelling. Especially over the past decade\, individual advances in sensing\, actuation\, computation\, communication\, and control have given rise to an unprecedented proliferation of applications in domains ranging from increasingly autonomous vehicles to medical cyber-physical systems to real-time hybrid physical/simulated systems.  With this progress\, however\, come further technical challenges that must be addressed to sustain such technical evolution and impact. \nThis talk will first describe selected recent advances in real-time scheduling theory\, their realization within real-time virtualization and concurrency platforms and middleware\, and limitations of the state of the art that remain even with those advances.  It will then suggest promising combinations of those advances\, which if fully integrated may launch a new generation of adaptive real-time systems that can respond dynamically to changing demands\, while still maintaining assurance of correct timing behavior.  Finally\, this talk will describe open problems and suggest candidate approaches towards addressing them\, to achieve such a synthesis of techniques\, and the potential impacts that can have. \nDates in the Seminar Series include: 1 October\, 5 November\, 3 December\, 4 February\, 4 March\, 1 April\, 6 May\, 3 June
