Abstract: The project aims to establish a Cyber-Physical Infrastructure for urban environments and address fundamental problems that involve data collection, resource allocation, real-time decision making, safety, and security.

Abstract: Despite the integration of advanced cyber technologies in monitoring and communication in electric power networks, design and development of control systems, and in particular, Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) tend to evolve at a very slow pace. The objective of this research is to study new distributed system modeling techniques to faithfully capture the physical and communication  system characteristics  as well as the "wave" like propagation of some disturbances.
