Cybersecurity of Discrete Event Systems

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book gives an invaluable guide to cybersecurity in discrete event systems, from modeling and synthesis of cyberattacks to design of resilient supervisors. A must-read for researchers and students, this book seamlessly blends resilient supervisors with smart attackers, starting a new and comprehensive approach to one of the most challenge problems in cybersecurity."

- Prof Feng Lin, Wayne State University, Fellow of IEEE

"This book provides a timely and systematic analysis for smart attacks and resilience for better cyber security from the perspective of discrete-events and provides excellent theoretical insights on how smart attacks might leverage on existing supervisory control logics to inflict damage to systems without being detected easily, and how such attacks could be prevented by properly designed supervisory controls. Enjoy your reading and digestion of the first, interesting and inspiring monograph on cybersecurity research!"

- Prof Sam Shuzhi Ge, National University of Singapore, Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of IFAC, Fellow of IET

"This book provides comprehensive coverage of a framework for modelling cyber-attacks and developing defence (as well as attack!) strategies in the context of discrete event systems. Rong Su, who has been working on discrete event systems for more than two decades, provides an elegant description of the recent work of his group on discrete event system cybersecurity. Well motivated and quite thorough exposition, ranging from smart sensor attacks to resilient supervisory control strategies! I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in cybersecurity aspects in finite state dynamic systems."

"Cybersecurity is no doubt one of the most important subjects and has been affecting everyone on this planet on a daily basis. This book provides a nice introduction to this subject in the framework of discrete event systems (DES), addressing smart cyberattacks and suitable/effective defense techniques against them. It presents mathematically rigorous concepts, methods, and theory as well as many practically useful algorithms for this complex and important subject. The insights provided in the book are expected to benefit researchers and practitioners not only in the DES community but also in much broader communities of control, communication, networking and cyber-physical systems. Hence, I highly recommend this book to all who have a genuine interest in cybersecurity."

"This excellent book introduces a comprehensive array of formal approaches essential for cybersecurity analysis and defense, drawing inspiration from the cutting-edge theoretical advancements in discrete event systems."
