Meanwhile, the manufacturing center is a typical industrial power subsystem with dozens of high energy consumption devices which have complex physical dynamics. DSM, integrated with CPS, is an effective methodology for solving energy optimization problems in manufacturing center. This paper presents a prediction-based manufacturing center self-adaptive energy optimization method for demand side management in cyber physical systems. To gain prior knowledge of DSM operating results, a sparse Bayesian learning based componential forecasting method is introduced to predict 24-hour electric load levels for specific industrial areas in China.

Reconstruction of measurements in state estimation strategy against deception attacks for cyber physical systems

Without the known state equation, a new state estimation strategy is designed to be against malicious attacks for cyber physical systems. Inspired by the idea of data reconstruction, the compressive sensing （CS） is applied to reconstruction of residual measurements after the detection and identification scheme based on the Markov graph of the system state, which increases the resilience of state estimation strategy against deception attacks. First, the observability analysis is introduced to decide the triggering time of the measurement reconstruction and the damage level from attacks. In particular, the dictionary learning is proposed to form the over-completed dictionary by K-singular value decomposition （K-SVD）, which is produced adaptively according to the characteristics of the measurement data. In addition, due to the irregularity of residual measurements, a sampling matrix is designed as the measurement matrix. Finally, the simulation experiments are performed on 6-bus power system. Results show that the reconstruction of measurements is completed well by the proposed reconstruction method, and the corresponding effects are better than reconstruction scheme based on the joint dictionary and the traditional Gauss or Bernoulli random matrix respectively. Especially, when only 29% available clean measurements are left, performance of the proposed strategy is still extraordinary, which reflects generality for five kinds of recovery algorithms.

Snow cover is an important parameter in the fields of computer modeling,engineering technology and energy development.With the extensive growth of novel hardware and software compositions creating smart,cyber physical systems’(CPS)efficient end-to-end workflows.In order to provide accurate snow detection results for the CPS’s terminal,this paper proposed a snow cover detection algorithm based on the unsupervised Gaussian mixture model(GMM)for the FY-4A satellite data.At present,most snow cover detection algorithms mainly utilize the characteristics of the optical spectrum,which is based on the normalized difference snow index(NDSI)with thresholds in different wavebands.These algorithms require a large amount of manually labeled data for statistical analysis to obtain the appropriate thresholds for the study area.Consideration must be given to both the high and low elevations in the study area.It is difficult to extract all snow by a fixed threshold in mountainous and rugged terrains.In this research,we avoid relying on a manual analysis for different elevations.Therefore,an algorithm based on the GMM is proposed,integrating the threshold-based algorithm and the GMM.First,the threshold-based algorithm with transferred thresholds from other satellites’analysis results are used to coarsely classify the surface objects.These results are then used to initialize the parameters of the GMM.Finally,the parameters of that model are updated by an expectation-maximum(EM)iteration algorithm,and the final results are outputted when the iterative conditions end.The results show that this algorithm can adjust itself to mountainous terrain with different elevations,and exhibits a better performance than the threshold-based algorithm.Compared with orbit satellites’snow products,the accuracy of the algorithm used for FY-4A is improved by nearly 2%,and the snow detection rate is increased by nearly 6%.Moreover,compared with microwave sensors’snow products,the accuracy is increased by nearly 3%.The validation results show that the proposed algorithm can be adapted to a complex terrain environment in mountainous areas and exhibits good performance under a transferred threshold without manually assigned labels.

Physical layer authentication for automotive cyber physical systems based on modified HB protocol

Automotive cyber physical systems(CPSs)are ever more utilizing wireless technology for V2X communication as a potential way out for challenges regarding collision detection,wire strap up troubles and collision avoidance.However,security is constrained as a result of the energy and performance limitations of modem wireless systems.Accordingly,the need for efficient secret key generation and management mechanism for secured communication among computationally weak wireless devices has motivated the introduction of new authentication protocols.Recently,there has been a great interest in physical layer based secret key generation schemes by utilizing channel reciprocity.Consequently,it is observed that the sequence generated by two communicating parties contain mismatched bits which need to be reconciled by exchanging information over a public channel.This can be an immense security threat as it may let an adversary attain and recover segments of the key in known channel conditions.We proposed Hopper-Blum based physical layer(HB-PL)authentication scheme in which an enhanced physical layer key generation method integrates the Hopper-Blum(HB)authentication protocol.The information collected from the shared channel is used as secret keys for the HB protocol and the mismatched bits are used as the induced noise for learning parity with noise(LPN)problem.The proposed scheme aims to provide a way out for bit reconciliation process without leakage of information over a public channel.Moreover,HB protocol is computationally efficient and simple which helps to reduce the number of exchange messages during the authentication process.We have performed several experiments which show that our proposed design can generate secret keys with improved security strength and high performance in comparison to the current authentication techniques.Our scheme requires less than 55 exchange messages to achieve more than 95%of correct authentication.
