This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $1,722,089 to Purdue University to develop rigorous scientific mechanisms that enable resilience in large-scale cyber-physical systems against a variety of perturbations. Through three interacting thrusts, the project will:
Create executable models of cyber, physical, and human assets, their interconnections, and the economic/policy constraints to capture stakeholder information sharing and cooperation.
Develop game-theoretic formulations to plan for the spread of perturbations and determine optimal resource allocation for resilience prior to system deployment.
Devise runtime distributed detection and response mechanisms that leverage existing system sensors to determine security state and trigger approximately optimal response actions.
The project aims to improve safety and security in the domain of connected and autonomous transportation systems by demonstrating the CHORUS framework on a connected vehicle testbed. No subawards are planned for this five-year award, which began on June 15, 2024.
