Title: Research on Metallurgical Intelligent Monitoring System Based on Industrial Internet of Things
Abstract: The automation level of the domestic metallurgical industry has significantly improved in recent years, however, the level of intelligent control over various production processes needs to be improved. The use of industrial Internet of Things technology can effectively improve the production efficiency and quality level of the metallurgical industry, and help enterprises accelerate digital transformation. Around this theme, the project team has successively developed a blast furnace hearth status monitoring system, a full process monitoring and warning system for the production status and fault diagnosis of metallurgical process equipment, and a real-time monitoring system for the rolling status of long rolled pieces during the rolling process, and achieves some applications.

Title: Explainable modeling and optimization control of industrial cyber physical systems driven by artificial intelligence
Abstract: Under the imperative of industrial green transition, it is timely to study rule-based interpretable artificial intelligence technology, which is crucial for improving the intelligence level of industrial cyber physical systems. The purpose of this report is to explore the following research content: a data-driven model and its evolutionary representation of industrial cyber physical systems oriented towards the dynamic interaction relationship of all factors of production, starting from changing the paradigm of data and expert knowledge extraction and integration, a high-order self-organizing hierarchical fuzzy modeling theory method with interpretable prerequisites, high accuracy, and strong generalization ability is established through a combination of rules and learning; Inspired by the "Ebbinghaus Memory Forgetting Curve", a multi instantaneous homogeneous matrix polynomial type gain scheduling mechanism was proposed to quantitatively describe the evolution trend of energy analysis functional, enhancing the interpretability and adaptability of the core control algorithm. Finally, a brief introduction is given to the preliminary application exploration of theoretical research results in fields such as human-machine shared driving.

Title: Research on Attack Strategy Design and Defense Mechanisms Based on Critical Information Abstract: With the widespread deployment of Networked Control Systems (NCS) in critical sectors such as industry, transportation, and energy, security threats have become increasingly prominent. Traditional cyber-attack strategies often overlook the heterogeneous impact of data packets on system performance. To address this issue, this report proposes a novel important-data-based attack strategy framework and corresponding defense mechanisms, aiming to enhance the intelligence and stealth of cyber attacks. This report proposes a novel attack strategy framework based on the importance of data, aiming to improve attack stealth and effectiveness under resource constraints. Two strategies are developed: a deterministic method that targets high-impact data packets, and a stochastic method that balances energy consumption and attack intensity through probabilistic control. To defend against such attacks, a parameter estimation-based approach is introduced, enabling the system to detect and mitigate attacks without prior knowledge of the attacker. A resilient state estimator is designed using linear matrix inequalities, maintaining system stability under intelligent threats. A future direction involving encrypted data importance modulation is also discussed. |
