Abstract
Designing SCADA systems in general and control algorithms in particular that are robust against realistic security attacks on the network and the computing infrastructure is non-trivial as realistic evaluation is necessary. Today, high-fidelity dynamic simulations of plants and controllers, as well as networks are available, but they can rarely be used together. This talk will present an approach for building such integrated simulation platforms that leverages results from a related project on C2 systems. The approach is based on a model-based paradigm for integrating dynamic simulators and has been used to construct a simulation-based testbed to evaluate plant-specific control algorithms together with networks and network attack models. The testbed is highly configurable through the domain-specific simulation models and the integration models.
