This paper undertakes a systematic review (SR) on distributed estimation techniques applied to cyber-physical systems (CPS). Even though SRs are not the common way to survey a theme in the control community, they provide a rigorous, robust and objective formula that should not be always ignored. The presented SR incorporates and adapts the guidelines recommended in other fields (mainly biosciences and computer sciences) to the field of automation and control and presents a brief description of the different phases that constitute an SR. As a result, this review compares the different techniques found in the literature in terms of: The proposed estimator (Kalman filter, Luenberger observer, Bayesian filter, etc.), the particular application within CPS, the design of the estimators (decentralized vs centralized), the amount of data required for implementation or the inclusion of experiments/simulations in the studies. Particular attention is paid to those papers that present some results in applications that include humans, animals or biological systems.

We have surveyed polypeptides with the optimal conformations of nests which are the common anion-binding motifs comprising 8% of the amino acids which are characterized by a structural depression or a hole. Using automated bioinformatics algorithm, novel ring structure of the nest has been found. Using automated algorithm, models of polypeptides were made in-silico (computationally) and oxygen atoms are inserted along the extension of the NH groups. These sophisticated algorithms allow insertion of atoms along the NH group at the correct distance which causes extension of the group thus forming hydrogen bond. Optimal conformations of these structures are found from these customized models. This study chapter provides a demonstration of an important discovery of optimum conformations of RL and LR nests by the use of sophisticated bioinformatics automation pipeline and a unique application of automation and control in bioinformatics.


Information security can be efficiently provided by the sound structured information and a set of specialized experts in the field of IT and CPS. The interconnection among the systems in the CPS imposes a new challenge in providing security to CPS. A concise study of CPS security is given in this chapter. The problem of secure control systems is also indentified and defined. The way the information security and control theory guards the system is explored. The security of CPSs can be enhanced using a particular set of challenges, which are also described later in this chapter. The resistance to malicious events is strengthening as cyber physical systems are part of critical structures. The CPSs are time sensitive in nature, unlike the distributed system where a little amount of delay is acceptable.

With the emergence of distributed energy resources (DERs), with their associated communication and control complexities, there is a need for an efficient platform that can digest all the incoming data and ensure the reliable operation of the power system. The digital twin (DT) is a new concept that can unleash tremendous opportunities and can be used at the different control and security levels of power systems. This paper provides a methodology for the modelling of the implementation of energy cyber-physical systems (ECPSs) that can be used for multiple applications. Two DT types are introduced to cover the high-bandwidth and the low-bandwidth applications that need centric oversight decision making. The concept of the digital twin is validated and tested using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud host that can incorporate physical and data models as well as being able to receive live measurements from the different actual power and control entities. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the real-time implementation of the DT for the ECPS based on internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies. The normalized mean-square error for the low-bandwidth DT case was 3.7%. In the case of a high-bandwidth DT, the proposed method showed superior performance in reconstructing the voltage estimates, with 98.2% accuracy from only the controllers’ states.
