Uncertainty quantification (UQ) in models of physical systems is a necessary tool for both model validation and engineering design optimization. We have applied UQ tools using stochastic spectral polynomial chaos techniques to the modeling of fluid flow in an electrokinetically driven microchannel, allowing for detailed buffer electrochemistry and finite rate analyte reactions. The model includes full coupling of wall electric double layer potential with variations in PH and local electric field. Allowing for uncertainties in species mobilities, buffer equilibrium constants, and wall properties, we have computed the resulting uncertainty in predicted model outputs, illustrating the impact of growth of uncertainty on confidence in model predictions. We present details of the computational UQ techniques with specific focus on their application in the electrochemical micro fluidic context. We also present UQ results pertaining to model protein labeling in an electokinetically-pumped microchannel flow.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) will revolutionize how humans relate with the physical world around us. Many grand challenges await the economically vital domains of transportation, health-care, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, defence, aerospace and buildings. Exploration of these potentialities around space and time would create applications which would affect societal and economic benefit. This paper looks into the concept of emerging Cyber-Physical system, applications and security issues in sustaining development in various economic sectors; outlining a set of strategic Research and Development opportunities that should be accosted, so as to allow upgraded CPS to attain their potential and provide a wide range of societal advantages in the future.

The recent proliferation of embedded cyber components in modern physical systems [1] has generated a variety of new security risks which threaten not only cyberspace, but our physical environment as well. Whereas earlier security threats resided primarily in cyberspace, the increasing marriage of digital technology with mechanical systems in cyber-physical systems (CPS), suggests the need for more advanced generalized CPS security measures. To address this problem, in this paper we consider the first step toward an improved security model: detecting the security attack. Using logical truth tables, we have developed a generalized algorithm for intrusion detection in CPS for systems which can be defined over discrete set of valued states. Additionally, a robustness algorithm is given which determines the level of security of a discrete-valued CPS against varying combinations of multiple signal alterations. These algorithms, when coupled with encryption keys which disallow multiple signal alteration, provide for a generalized security methodology for both cyber-security and cyber-physical systems.
