Abstract:
With its rich set of conceptual, analytical and algorithmic tools, game theory 
has emerged as providing a versatile and effective framework for addressing 
issues of robustness, resilience, and security (RRS) in modern critical 
infrastructures. Such systems are composed of many interacting human, cyber and 
physical components at multiple layers.  Addressing issues of RRS will require 
a divide-and-conquer approach, and at the same time a holistic system 
viewpoint. The talk will first introduce game- and control-theoretic approaches 
for modeling multi-layer and multi-agent interactions in cyber-physical 
systems. It will then present the recently developed resilient control theory 
for efficient cyber and physical system integrations for achieving cyber 
security against attackers and robustness of physical system against noise and 
disturbances. The talk will also discuss the games-in-games principle and 
multi-resolution game theory to address strategic decision-making residing[LI!
NK] at multiple layers of the cyber-physical system. Specific examples will be 
drawn from communication networks and smart energy systems for illustration of 
these concepts.
