A Resilient Control Strategy for Cyber-Physical Systems Subject to Denial of Service Attacks: A Leader-Follower Set-Theoretic Approach

doi: 10.1109/JAS.2020.1003189
More Information
  • Multi-agent systems are usually equipped with open communication infrastructures to improve interactions efficiency, reliability and sustainability. Although technologically cost-effective, this makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks with potentially catastrophic consequences. To this end, we present a novel control architecture capable to deal with the distributed constrained regulation problem in the presence of time-delay attacks on the agents’ communication infrastructure. The basic idea consists of orchestrating the interconnected cyber-physical system as a leader-follower configuration so that adequate control actions are computed to isolate the attacked unit before it compromises the system operations. Simulations on a multi-area power system confirm that the proposed control scheme can reconfigure the leader-follower structure in response to denial of-service (DoS) attacks.

    Highlights

    • A predictive control for networked MASs subject to cyber attacks is developed.
    • a dynamical Leader-Follower paradigm is used to face adversities affecting the leader.
    • the LF paradigm avoids iterative information exchange and attack detection procedures.
    • the needed computational resources (CPUs speed, memory, and bandwidth) are modest.
