Title: Recent research activities in target tracking and machine reasoning by Branko Ristic and his group at RMIT University

Abstract: The talk will briefly review four research activities: (1) Detection and tracking of small objects on the sea surface using an airborne scanning radar; (2) Development of target tracking algorithms using possibility theory (instead of probability theory); (3) The search for intelligent reactive underwater targets using the game theory; (4) Development of a valuation network for reasoning under uncertainty in the framework of imprecise probability theory.

Branko Ristic was educated in Serbia (FTN, Novi Sad and ETF, Belgrade University) and Australia (PhD, 1995). Since 2015 he is a Principal Research Fellow in the School of Engineering of RMIT University.
Before that he spent almost 20 years in Defence Science and Technology (Australia). He published over 100 journal articles and two books. His research interests include statistical signal processing and artificial
intelligence.

Resilience as the Master Key for Secure Cyber-Physical Energy Systems

Abstract:

This talk will give an overview of the research of the Secure Next Generation Resilient Systems (SENTRY) lab (sentry.kaust.edu.sa) at KAUST. The transformation of critical grid infrastructures into cyber-physical energy systems contributes towards modernization allowing for better planning, more flexible control, system-wide optimization, etc. However, the cyber-threat landscape on these infrastructures seems to widen with increasing sophistication associated with the use of internet-of-things (IoT) and cloud-based services despite significant benefits in terms of reliability and efficiency. The talk will present different cases of attack strategies simulated under various operating conditions to uncover their system-wide impacts in power systems, as well as illustrate the impact of such attacks and the feasibility of detection methods in simulation models in order to enhance system resilience.

Biography:
Charalambos Konstantinou is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (CS) and Affiliate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering Division (CEMSE) of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. He is the Principal Investigator of the SENTRY Lab (Secure Next Generation Resilient Systems – sentry.kaust.edu.sa) and a member of the Resilient Computing and Cybersecurity Center (RC3) at KAUST. Before joining KAUST, he was an Assistant Professor with the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) at Florida State University (FSU). His research interests are in secure, trustworthy, and resilient cyber-physical and embedded IoT systems. He is also interested in critical infrastructures security and resilience with special focus on smart grid technologies, renewable energy integration, and real-time simulation. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from New York University (NYU), NY, in 2018, and a M.Eng. Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, in 2012.
