Topic description
The increasing integration of machine learning components into the control and supervision of cyber-physical systems (CPS)—which interconnect heterogeneous elements such as physical processes, digital computing units, smart sensors, and communication networks—has enabled the achievement of more complex objectives with improved performance. Beyond classical threats affecting CPS, including denial-of-service, replay, and data injection attacks, CPS integrating ML, referred to as ML-CPS, are exposed to additional system-specific vulnerabilities arising at both the training and inference stages.The objective of the thesis is to develop effective strategies for the reliable detection of such attacks and for mitigating their impact on system performance. From a scientific perspective, the project goes beyond classical resilient and robust control frameworks, as well as traditional attack detection and isolation approaches, to specifica...
