报告内容：The cyber-physical system (CPS) is largely referred to as the next generation of engineered systems with the integration of communication, computation, and control to achieve the goals of stability and efficiency for physical systems. Cyber-physical systems are often collect huge amounts of information for data analysis and decision making. The collection of information helps the system make smart decisions through advanced data processing, computing or learning algorithms. However, there always lies a question: How "big" can be regarded as big data? Besides, data collection may lead to an undesirable loss of privacy for the participating users, thereby putting their promised benefits at risk. To address those issues, we have made some efforts to effectively utilize the collected data via data-driven approach while preserving the differential privacy of the users who contribute their data.

In today's talk, we will present two of our recent works on big data differential privacy preservation for cyber-physical systems: i) data-driven caching with users' local differential privacy in information-centric networks; and ii) data-driven optimization for utility providers with differential privacy of users' energy profile in smart grid.
