This book adopts a systematic view of the control systems in cyber-physical systems including the security control of the optimal control system, security control of the non-cooperative game system, quantify the impact of the Denial-of-Service attacks on the optimal control system, and the adaptive security control of the networked control systems. Because the cyber-physical system is a hybrid system, it adopts cross layer approach to handle the security control of the CPS. It presents a number of attack models according to the attack scenario and defense facilities, and a number of cross-layer co-design methodologies to secure the control of CPS.

The issue of the other has always been an urgent one, especially since 1980’s, when the political debates over race, gender, class, culture, ethnicity, and post-colonialism took the central stage. The Riddling between Oedipus and the Sphinx, Ontology, Hauntology, and Heterologies of the Grotesque probes the polemic status of the other and the dubious nature of the subject from a heterodox perspective of an emblematic grotesque figure, the Sphinx—the mystical trickster and the guardian of sacred knowledge in Egyptian culture. In Greek mythology, Oedipus, the epitome of Western logos, solved the Sphinx’s riddle with a single word, “Man.” This evocation for the phantom of a solipsistic subject discloses, in effect, Oedipus’ latent grotesque disparity. The book explores the encounter of this unlikely pair to inquire the riddling relationship between the singular subject and the grotesque other in the context of modern discourses of the subject and postmodern theories of the other.

This vital work for researchers and graduate students focuses on resilience estimation and control of cyber-physical networked systems using attacker-defender game theory. It presents attack and defense strategies and describes the design and resilience of control systems to withstand cyberattacks.Complex control systems, including cyber-physical and cloud control systems, are in open network environments and are often confronted with threats from cyberspace, physical space and even cloud service. With diversified and intelligent attack patterns and improvements in attack capabilities, non-contact damage can be widespread. In this book, the authors use a formal, mathematical approach to introduce their recent research findings to describe and design attack and defense strategies using game theoretic method. The book is divided into three sections, focusing on strategies for resilience against deception attacks and DoS attacks, and protecting cloud control systems against threats. In these sections, the authors address topics such as secure and distributed filtering, attack detection and disturbance rejection, resilient state estimation, and resilient control, and techniques such as Stackelberg games, hierarchical games, and active eavesdropping. Through this book readers will be able to design effective defense strategies for complex control system to achieve resilience for closed-control cyber physical systems, network and cloud systems.This book is a vital resource for graduate students and academic researchers who are familiar with the concepts related to cyberattack and defense and who have a related research background. To maximize their benefit from this book, readers are recommended to have a strong mathematical foundation as the book takes a mathematical approach to the concepts and strategies described within.

Up to now, more than 400 types of psychotherapies have been published in the world. Among them Imagery Communication Psychotherapy (ICP) is the only existing and developing psychotherapy created by Chinese psychologists. Over the years, ICP has become the most popular method of psychotherapy in China.ICP helps the psychotherapist to communicate with his/her client on the subconscious level by using the symbolic meanings of imagery — unconscious to unconscious. This book provides a guide to this therapy approach by covering topics both in theory and in practice. Each chapter contains real examples based on the author's clinical practice in China, so that the readers can clearly understand the clinical operation process of ICP. All aspects of operation and clinical techniques are detailed in terms of work mechanism, common instructions, operational steps, and precautions. The book also covers ICP psychotherapists' self-growth training techniques and innovative sub-techniques in ICP.
