We consider a multi-adversary version of the supervisory control problem for discrete-event systems, in which an adversary corrupts the observations available to the supervisor. The supervisor's goal is to enforce a specific language in…
In this work, we investigate how to make use of model reduction techniques to identify the vulnerability of a closed-loop system, consisting of a plant and a supervisor, that might invite attacks. Here, the system vulnerability refers to…
In this paper, we investigate joint sensor-actuator cyber attacks in discrete event systems. We assume that attackers can attack some sensors and actuators at the same time by altering observations and control commands. Because of the…
This work investigates the problem of synthesizing fortified supervisors against covert actuator attackers. For a non-resilient supervisor S, i.e., there exists at least a covert actuator attacker that is capable of inflicting damage w.r.t…
This paper focuses on the problem of cyber attacks for discrete event systems under supervisory control. In more detail, the goal of the supervisor, who has a partial observation of the system evolution, is that of preventing the system…
We consider feedback control systems where sensor readings may be compromised by a malicious attacker intending on causing damage to the system. We study this problem at the supervisory layer of the control system, using discrete event…
We investigate deterministic and nonblocking supervisory control of discrete event systems under cyber-attacks using the ALTER (Attack Language for Transition-basEd Replacement) model. While prior works consider supervisory control that…
In this paper, we investigate the covert sensor attack synthesis problem in the framework of supervisory control of networked discrete-event systems (DES), where the observation channel and the control channel are assumed to be non-FIFO and…
Resilience to sensor and actuator attacks is a major concern in the supervisory control of discrete events in cyber-physical systems (CPS). In this work, we propose a new framework to design supervisors for CPS under attacks using…
In decentralized networked supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DESs), the local supervisors observe event occurrences subject to observation delays to make correct control decisions. Delay coobservability describes whether these…
Detectability of discrete event systems (DESs) is a question whether the current and subsequent states can be determined based on observations. Shu and Lin designed a polynomial-time algorithm to check strong (periodic) detectability and an…
In this work, we investigate the problem of synthesizing property-enforcing supervisors for partially-observed discrete-event systems (DES). Unlike most existing approaches, where the enforced property depends solely on the executed…
Cyber attacks are unavoidable in networked discrete event systems where the plant and the supervisor communicate with each other via networks. Because of the nondeterminism in observation and control caused by cyber attacks, the language…
This paper investigates the problem of synthesizing sensor deception attackers against privacy in the context of supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES). We consider a DES plant controlled by a supervisor, which is subject to…
We present an algorithm for synthesising a controller (supervisor) for a discrete event system (DES) based on the property-directed reachability (PDR) model checking algorithm. The discrete event systems framework is useful in both…
Cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as autonomous vehicles crossing an intersection, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and their safety-critical nature makes them a target for malicious adversaries. This paper studies the problem of…
In this paper we develop a data-driven approach for marking nonblocking supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES). We consider a setup in which models of DES to be controlled are unknown, but a set of data concerning the behaviors…
In this paper, coordination control of discrete event systems under joint sensor and actuator attacks is investigated. Sensor attacks are described by a set of attack languages using a proposed ALTER model. Several local supervisors are…
In this paper, we investigate the enforcement of opacity via supervisory control in the context of discrete-event systems. A system is said to be opaque if the intruder, which is modeled as a passive observer, can never infer confidently…
We present a comprehensive analysis on connectivity and resilience of secure sensor networks under the widely studied q-composite key predistribution scheme. For network connectivity which ensures that any two sensors can find a path in…
