About Us

• To create a research infrastructure that can support the development and evaluation of data-driven cybersecurity solutions for smart manufacturing.
• To foster a community of CISE researchers who can collaborate and exchange ideas, data, codes, resources, and tools for smart manufacturing cybersecurity.
• To advance the state-of-the-art in smart manufacturing cybersecurity by addressing the challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.
• To enhance the education and training of the next generation of CISE professionals and students in smart manufacturing cybersecurity.

The expected outcomes of the SimHub project are:

• A web infrastructure that can host and manage the data, codes, resources, and tools for smart manufacturing cybersecurity.
• A data infrastructure that can collect and organize the cybersecurity datasets for smart manufacturing from various sources.
• A smart manufacturing machine infrastructure that can provide physical and virtual machines for simulating and emulating different smart manufacturing scenarios and evaluating the cybersecurity solutions.
• A common interface and a common data format that can enable the interoperability and collaboration among the web, data, and machine infrastructures.
• A set of publications, reports, tutorials, workshops, and webinars that can disseminate the research findings and best practices of the SimHub project.
• A network of CISE researchers who can share and access the research infrastructure and the community resources for smart manufacturing cybersecurity.

• To improve the security and resilience of smart manufacturing systems and processes by providing data-driven cybersecurity solutions.
• To accelerate the innovation and adoption of smart manufacturing technologies by reducing the cybersecurity risks and challenges.
• To enhance the competitiveness and productivity of the U.S. manufacturing industry by enabling custom products to be made at the point and time of need using smart manufacturing technologies.
• To inspire and educate the future CISE workforce and students in smart manufacturing cybersecurity by providing them with the research infrastructure and the community resources.
