Additive layer manufacturing has been termed as one of the proponents of the fourth industrial revolution. However, due to the presence of cyber and physical domain components in additive manufacturing, they are prone to physical-to-cyber domain attacks. One of the example of such attacks is side-channel attacks, where an attacker can steal valuable intellectual property of the 3D objects being printed by the additive manufacturing system. To understand and defend these attacks, we have to analyze all the possible side-channels and minimize the amount of leakage in each of them.

The poster provides a general overview of the motivation for testbeds, and summarizes the high-level objectives of the project. Then, the poster outlines a conceptual architecture of how a layered testbed architecture could be extended to realize federated testbeds. Followed by this, the poster provides a high-level conceptual architecture of the remote access framework developed as part of the project. The poster also provides some details on the various tasks performed as part of the remote access framework.

Having a shared and accurate sense of time is critical to distributed Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Thanks to decades of research in clock technologies and synchronization protocols, it is now possible to measure and synchronize time across distributed systems with unprecedented accuracy. However, applications have not benefited to the same extent due to limitations of the system services that help manage time, and hardware-OS and

This project addresses the safety and security issues that arise when giving users remote-access to a multi-robot research test-bed, where mobile robots can coordinate their behaviors in a collaborative manner. Through a public interface, users are able to schedule, and subsequently upload, their own code and run their experiments, while being provided with the scientific data produced through the experiment.

The smart grid is a large-scale, societal-level hybrid cyber-physical system with tight coupling between cyber and physical components.  Ensuring availability and reliability of power requires maintaining stability of the power grid even as increasing demand and uncertain renewable power sources push the power system close to its operation limit.  In addition, the cyber-enabled grid has multiple entry points, leaving it highly susceptible to cyber attacks by malicious adversaries.

The goal of this project is to enable small businesses and others to manufacture small batches of complex devices at low cost. Our approach is to develop an agile manufacturing exchange (ME) in which suppliers of raw materials, assemblers, transportation companies, banks, etc., participate through standardized protocols to fulfill manufacturing orders.

The goal of this research project is to develop a scalable cyber-physical system (CPS) framework for seamless integration of physical and computational systems for bridge lifecycle monitoring. Bridge monitoring includes many different components, such as computer-aided design (CAD) system, bridge management system (BMS), structural health monitoring (SHM) system, and various analysis tools. In current practice, these components are isolated from each other and sharing of information across systems is very limited. Information sharing and system integration
