# Meeting with Ginger and Benjamin about Summer Internship
Also not directly an interview, but rather a check-in and
conversation. Good conversation about the thrust they would
be interested in me working on. CIE-group. They want to do a
push about how we define resilliency, especially when it
comes to cyber control systems. Probabilism and defense in
depth is not enough, or perhaps not the right approach.
Ginger also brought up good points. We want to be able to
have evidence for autonomous control systems for things like
liability courts. If something goes wrong, we want to be
able to say why the control system made the right choice,
based on formal methods approaches to justify control
actions. Also talk about *graded* responses and saying
whether or not we can justify operation of a degraded
system.
16-wk on-site internship. Relocation help included. Spoke
highly of Dan and continued collaboration is an option.
Two main deliverables:
- a kind of state of the art on what 'resilience' is and how
it is determined
- a thrust or way forward of what new metrics for resilience
could look like. Sounds like an advanced proposal
- Conference paper?
Team: Ginger, Benjamin, a gentleman named John, other
individuals.
Benjamin has a reachability manifesto he wants to send us.
Dan as INL-vetted will probably get an email about it.
More to come in the next couple of weeks. Need to evaluate
against Emerson opportunity. This seems to have more
direction.
