Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The considered hexrotor is a symmetric VTOL-UAV with six rigid mono-directional propellers, and the interval between each propeller is 60°.

Secure Networked Control For Decentralized Systems Via Software Rejuvenation, Paul Griffioen, Raffaele Romagnoli, Bruce H. Krogh, Bruno Sinopoli

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

Decentralized control systems exist in many scenarios where agents have the ability to fully communicate with one another but do not do so for multiple reasons, including cost and the possibility of an adversary infiltrating the system through the communication network. In this paper, we present a procedure that determines when agents should communicate with one another after having been disconnected from the network for a period of time. This procedure does not depend on the type of decentralized control system being used. When agents do communicate with one another, we guarantee the safety and resilience of the system against …

Publications and Research

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating as a swarm can be deployed in austere environments, where cyber electromagnetic activities often require speedy and dynamic adjustments to swarm operations. Use of central controllers, UAV synchronization mechanisms or pre-planned set of actions to control a swarm in such deployments would hinder its ability to deliver expected services. We introduce artificial intelligence and game theory based flight control algorithms to be run by each autonomous UAV to determine its actions in near real-time, while relying only on local spatial, temporal and electromagnetic (EM) information. Each UAV using our flight control algorithms positions itself …

Auditing Database Systems Through Forensic Analysis, James Wagner

College of Computing and Digital Media Dissertations

The majority of sensitive and personal data is stored in a number of different Database Management Systems (DBMS). For example, Oracle is frequently used to store corporate data, MySQL serves as the back-end storage for many webstores, and SQLite stores personal data such as SMS messages or browser bookmarks. Consequently, the pervasive use of DBMSes has led to an increase in the rate at which they are exploited in cybercrimes. After a cybercrime occurs, investigators need forensic tools and methods to recreate a timeline of events and determine the extent of the security breach. When a breach involves a compromised …
