Chapter 5

Secure stabilization of distributed systems

Abstract

In this chapter, we consider networked distributed systems in the presence of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, namely attacks that prevent transmission over the communication network. First, we consider a simple and typical scenario where communication sequence is purely round-robin and we explicitly calculate a bound of attack frequency and duration under which the interconnected large-scale system is asymptotically stable. Second, trading off between system resilience and communication load, we design a hybrid transmission strategy consisting of Zeno-free distributed event-triggered control and round-robin. We show that with lower communication loads the hybrid communication strategy ...
