Performance monitoring data (e.g., measurements, logs, events) are becoming increasingly accessible and abundant (in terms of cost and availability) in modern distributed complex systems such as computer systems and networks, integrated buildings, industrial systems, transportation networks and power-grids. With efficient exploration of such data, health monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis can be greatly improved beyond the current state-of-the-art.

The electric power grid is a complex cyber-physical system (CPS) that forms the lifeline of modern society. Cybersecurity and resiliency of the power grid is of paramount importance to national security and economic well-being. CPS security testbeds are enabling technologies that provide realistic experimental platforms for the evaluation and validation of security technologies within controlled environments, and they also enable the exploration of robust security solutions.
