Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms have become an inevitable part of our lives and are so pervasive that users often engage with them unconsciously. Both users and systems contribute vast amounts of data to train these algorithms. AI addresses a wide range of critical and sensitive problems, from medical diagnostics and climate change mitigation to assisted driving and financial technologies. However, AI systems have advantages and drawbacks. One significant concern is their security, as they are vulnerable to sophisticated malicious attacks, unintentional changes, omissions of context in training data, sensor aging, changes in the training environment, and other unforeseen circumstances. This makes AI applications at the edge—such as smartphones and cars—susceptible to defects in training data and AI models. Safeguarding AI focuses on safeguarding data integrity and the quality of learning associated with AI algorithms when they are exposed to cyber-attacks in edge computing environments and federated learning. Thus, this talk focuses on the security of AI systems on the edge.

WoSC Keynote:The Digital Fabric of Resilience: Integrating IoT, IT, and OT for the Cyber-Power Grid
Prof. Anurag K Srivastava, Raymond J. Lane Professor and Chairperson, Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Director, Smart Grid REsiliency and Analytics Lab (SG-REAL) West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA. Senior Scientist, Pacific Northwest National Lab, Richland, WA

Abstract: As the electric grid evolves into a complex cyber-physical-human system, the seamless integration of Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) services has become critical to ensure grid resilience, security, and flexibility. Middleware technologies form the digital fabric that interweaves these layers, enabling real-time coordination, situational awareness, and distributed intelligence across the grid ecosystem. This talk explores how middleware and IoT-enabled services can enhance cyber-power grid resilience through scalable communication, computing and control architectures. Requirements for centralized, distributed, and decentralized control architectures will be discussed highlighting their respective implications for communication, computing, reliability, and system autonomy. Key topics include: a) Resilience-aware control architecture, b) Example of middleware including RIAPS, DCBlocks, GridStat including fog and edge computing for flexible orchestration enabling distributed, time-sensitive control and fault-tolerant coordination, c) Digital twin with IT/OT for validating control strategies and assessing resilience under cyber-physical stressors, d) Human-in-the-loop frameworks to couple operator cognition with adaptive, data-driven decision support. The presentation will highlight how a digitally woven, middleware-enabled fabric, linking IoT, IT, and OT, with metrics can transform the power grid into a flexible, and resilient infrastructure.
