Talk1: RISE-CPS: Reconfigurable and flexIble Simulation Environment for cybersecurity research in Cyber-Physical Systems
Speaker: Alan Oliveira (CPS, DS2)
Paper: N/A
Summary: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are present in critical infrastructures, from industrial control to advanced defense systems. While digital control of physical processes brings major benefits, it also exposes physical assets to new cyber threats. This talk presents RISE-CPS, a reconfigurable and flexible simulation framework for cybersecurity research in CPS. Validated in industrial and drone use cases under different attacks, RISE-CPS supports the study of how cyber actions can lead to physical effects and helps generate realistic datasets and security solution.

Talk2: Quantum Kolmogorov complexity and quantum correlations in deterministic-control quantum Turing machines
Speaker: André Souto (RSS, ToC)
Paper: https://quantum-journal.org/papers/q-2024-01-18-1230/
Summary: This talk presents the main results and techniques from the paper published in Quantum with the same title. The work studies Kolmogorov complexity for quantum states using deterministic-control quantum Turing Machines (dcq-TM), extending the model to mixed states and defining dcq-computable states. It also explores quantum versus classical representations, limits of quantum state copying, and the complexity of quantum correlations through a correlation-aware notion of algorithmic mutual information.
