Component Damage Source Identification For Critical Infrastructure Systems, Nathan Davis
Component Damage Source Identification For Critical Infrastructure Systems, Nathan Davis
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly prevalent for both Critical Infrastructure and the Industry 4.0 initiative. Bad values within components of the software portion of CPS, or the computer systems, have the potential to cause major damage if left unchecked, and so detection and locating of where these occur is vital. We further define features of these computer systems and create a use-based system topology. We then introduce a function to monitor system integrity and the presence of bad values as well as an algorithm to locate them. We then show an improved version, taking advantage of several system properties …
Contrasting Geometric Variations Of Mathematical Models Of Self-Assembling Systems, Michael Sharp
Contrasting Geometric Variations Of Mathematical Models Of Self-Assembling Systems, Michael Sharp
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Self-assembly is the process by which complex systems are formed and behave due to the interactions of relatively simple units. In this thesis, we explore multiple augmentations of well known models of self-assembly to gain a better understanding of the roles that geometry and space play in their dynamics. We begin in the abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) with some examples and a brief survey of previous results to provide a foundation. We then introduce the Geometric Thermodynamic Binding Network model, a model that focuses on the thermodynamic stability of its systems while utilizing geometrically rigid components (dissimilar to other …
