Key Words: Networked control systems, Secure state estimation, Resilient control, Adversarial attacks, Defensive transmission scheduling

Information: Networked systems such as cyber-physical systems, industrial control systems, intelligent transportation systems, and multi-agent systems are increasingly exposed to cyber threats due to the wireless communication networks. Malicious attacks, including false data injection, denial-of-service, eavesdropping and deception attacks, can severely degrade state estimation accuracy and compromise control performance. This session focuses on recent advances in secure and resilient state estimation and control for networked systems under adversarial and uncertain environments. The session aims to bring together researchers working on control theory, wireless communication, algorithm design, and practical implementations to enhance the robustness, security, and trustworthiness of networked control systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 

• Secure and resilient state estimation under cyber attacks
• Attack detection, isolation, and identification in networked systems
• False data injection, denial-of-service, eavesdropping and deception attacks
• Secure control and stabilization under adversarial environments
• Defensive transmission scheduling against cyber attacks
• Distributed and cooperative secure estimation in multi-agent systems
• Game-theoretic security analysis
• Privacy-preserving estimation and control
• Applications to smart grids, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial CPS
