About

Background

The Dependability and Automation Research in Cyber-Physical Systems (DARES) Group at Tampere University is committed to advancing the dependability and robustness of cyber-physical-social systems. Our research focuses on integrating intelligent monitoring, diagnostics, and control solutions to create robust and secure automated environments. We contribute to fields where safety, security, reliability, availability, and resilience are paramount, enabling us to address complex challenges in modern industrial and societal infrastructures.

Goal

Our primary goal is to develop innovative and intelligent solutions for monitoring and controlling cyber-physical-social systems, ensuring their dependability and sustainability. We focus on automating processes and advancing fault-tolerant and attack-resilient control technologies to secure systems operating in critical industries such as energy, transportation, and manufacturing.

Application Domains

Our research applies to a wide range of safety- and security-critical systems across sectors such as:

  • Energy and power infrastructures
  • Transportation networks
  • Manufacturing facilities

We develop solutions that enable these sectors to detect, withstand, and recover from faults, cyber-attacks, and operational inefficiencies. By integrating intelligent monitoring, resilient control, and predictive maintenance, our innovations ensure higher system reliability, enhanced security, and sustained operational performance.

Vision and Impact

At DARES, we envision a future where cyber-physical-social systems operate seamlessly and securely, contributing to a sustainable and dependable world. By advancing automation technologies that integrate intelligent monitoring capabilities, we aim to shape the future of industrial systems and processes in complex environments.
