Abstract:We describe recent results on foundational aspects of modeling, architecture and per-formance of networked cyber-physical systems. These include: multi-layer multigraph models, constrained coalitional games, analysis of trust and mistrust in collaboration, dynamics of signed graphs, distributed consensus with adversaries, new concepts of value of information and event-driven inference and decision making, non-commuta-tive probability models. We conclude with directions for future research.

Prelegent prof. John S. Baras, Lockheed Martin Chair in Systems Engineering Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the National Techni-cal University of Athens, Greece, 1970; M.S., Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University 1971, 1973. Since 1973, faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and in the Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Scientific Computation Program, at the University of Maryland College Park. Since 2000, faculty member in the Fi-schell Department of Bioengineering. Since 2014, faculty member in the Me-chanical Engineering Department. Foun-ding Director of the Institute for Systems Research (ISR), 1985 to 1991. Since 1991, Founding Director of the Maryland Cen-ter for Hybrid Networks (HYNET). Since 2013, Guest Professor at the Royal Insti-tute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. IEEE Life Fellow, SIAM Fellow, AAAS Fellow, NAI Fellow, IFAC Fellow, and a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). Received the 1980 George Axelby Prize from the IEEE Control Systems Society, the 2006 Leonard Abraham Prize from the IEEE Communications Society, the 2014 Tage Erlander Guest Professorship from the Swedish Research Council, and a three year (2014-2017) Senior Hans Fischer Fellowship from the Institute for Advan-ced Study of the Technical University of Munich, Germany. He was inducted in the A. J. Clark School of Engineering In-novation Hall of Fame (2016) of the Uni-versity of Maryland and he was selected to receive the 2017 IEEE Simon Ramo Me-dal, and the 2017 AACC Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award.

Professor Baras’ research interests inc-lude systems and control, optimization, communication networks, signal pro-cessing and understanding, robotics, computing systems and networks, ne-twork security and trust, systems bio-logy, healthcare management systems, model-based systems engineering.
