DESCRIPTION:<span>Smart grid involves the imposition of an advanced cyber 
 layer atop the physical layer of the electricity grid\, in order to improv
 e the efficiency\, security and cost of electricity use and distribution\,
  and to allow for greater decentralization of power generation and managem
 ent.&nbsp\; This cyber-physical setting motivates a number of problems in 
 network analysis\, and this talk will briefly describe several of these pr
 oblems together with approaches to solving them. These include <i>competit
 ive privacy</i> in which multiple grid entities seek an optimal trade-off 
 between privacy lost and utility gained from information sharing\; <i>dist
 ributed inference</i> in which both the cyber and physical network topolog
 ies have roles to play in achieving consensus\; <i>real-time</i> <i>topolo
 gy identification</i> which helps in the mitigation of cascading failures\
 ; and <i>attack construction</i> which seeks an understanding of optimal s
 trategies for attacking the grid in support of the design of effective cou
 ntermeasures.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </span><br><br><br><br>
