报告题目：Security and Safety Checking of Cyber-Physical Systems

报告摘要：

Cyber-physical system use the Internet as the communication medium to enable the remote monitoring and control of plants and to initiate global collaboration and data sharing between operators from geographically dispersed locations. However, connection to the Internet presents high safety and security risks to this new generation of control systems. Are we opening up our cyber-physical systems to trouble since a number of malicious hackers continually attack web servers on the Internet? The new type of systems will never be accepted by industry, if people do not have enough confidence in their safety and do not feel secure while using the system. This talk presents a framework for security and safety checking used in the design of cyber-physical systems, which focuses on the security of control commands transferred over the Internet, actions to respond to malicious attacks, and system safety.

Biography

Professor Shuang Hua Yang is currently serving as the head of Department of computer science and the leader of the Networks, Communication, and Control System Research Division in the Computer Science Department at Loughborough. He is also a senate member of Loughborough University since 2012. His educational history originated in China where he received a BSc in 1983 and MSc in 1986 from the Petroleum University and a PhD in 1991 from Zhejiang University. He received DSc from Loughborough University in 2014.

Shuang-Hua Yang is an associate editor for four academic journals including International Journal of Systems Science (Taylor & Francis publisher), Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering (Springer) and a member of the editorial and advisory board for another two academic Journals. He has been a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College since 2006, a fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control since 2005, and a senior member of IEEE since 2003. He is also serving as an overseas assessment panel member for the State Natural Science Award of China and the China 973 Scheme. Working with his national and international collaborators he has organised many international conferences and special sessions. The recent one was IEEE 2013 International Conference on Internet of Things where he served as the program chair. So far he has supervised 7 postdoctoral research staff, 11 completed PhD students, and 20 academic visiting scholars and exchange PhD students. Currently 6 PhD students and one RA are under his supervision. He was the guest editor of six special issues on wireless sensor networks and Internet based control in various journals. He was awarded 2010 Honeywell Prize by the Institute of Measurement and Control in the UK to recognize his contribution to home automation research. The energy harvesting device which was developed by his team was exhibited in EcoBuild 2011 in London and patented in 2009. He was the winner of the Creativity Award in the International Exhibition Contest on DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Creative Designs held in Taiwan in 2005 for the project “Remote monitoring and control of intelligent home environments”.

As a principal investigator Shuang-Hua Yang has received significant amounts of research grants from different funding bodies, including FP7, MoD, EPSRC, TSB, ERDF, and British Council et al. The latest research grant he secured is a FP7 European grant (€410k allocated to Loughborough), with the project starting in February 2014. He has a wide range of collaboration with British industries such as BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Toyota UK, Arqiva, GL et al.

The citation by other researchers for one of his papers on “Design issues and implementation of Internet-based process control” was over 200 and the work laid the foundation and guideline for the following researchers in that particular research subject.
