This project aims to establish a fundamental framework to efficiently analyse and control critical, modern infrastructure networks such as power grids and the Internet. The project expects to bridge the gap between cyber-physical network theory and network resilience engineering through developing a body of knowledge about cyber-physical systems, security analysis and emergence of network behaviours. The project will develop design methodologies to improve the resilience of these networks against internal faults and external attacks. This should improve the robustness and invulnerability of Australian power grids and the Internet against random failures and malicious cyber-physical attacks.Read moreRead less
