PRECISE Seminar: Robustness of Attack-resilient State Estimators
(Joint work with Konstantinos Gatsis) The interaction between information technology and physical world makes Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) vulnerable to malicious attacks beyond the standard cyber attacks. This has motivated the need for attack-resilient… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Opportunistic Scheduling of Control Tasks Over Shared Wireless Channels
(Joint work with Miroslav Pajic) We consider a wireless networked control system with multiple loops closing over a shared wireless medium. To avoid interferences a centralized scheduler decides which control task accesses the channel at each time step,… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Humans and Models in a Cyber-Physical World
This talk covers several results focused on humans interacting with Cyber-Physical Systems: those systems whose computation, control, and communication aspects are tightly coupled. Human inputs to these systems has typically required significant training, which reduces the… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Predictable Integration of Safety-Critical Software on COTS-based Embedded Systems
Building safety-critical real-time systems out of inexpensive, non-realtime, COTS components is challenging. Although COTS components generally offer high performance, they can occasionally incur significant timing delays. To prevent this, we propose two approaches: 1) a new… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Towards Mobile Sensing of Attention and Distraction
It has long been recognized that ubiquitous information access brings enormous benefits but also creates a plethora of devices and services that are competing for our attention. With mobile devices this is a particular serious concern for drivers, pedestrians, and other… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Computational Game Theory in Sequential Environments
Compared to typical single-agent decision problems, general sum games offer a panoply of strategies for maximizing utiity. In many games, such as the well-known Prisoner's dilemma, agents must work together, bearing some individual risk, to arrive at mutually beneficial… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Performance-aware Synthesis for Concurrency
Partial-program synthesis is a technique that allows programmer to specify only part of the program imperatively and the rest of the requirements declaratively. In the domain of concurrency, the input usually consists of a non-deterministic partial program where the… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Microfabricated Implantable Wireless Microsystems – Permanent & Biodegradable Implementations
The tremendous technological convergence of microfabrication technology, wireless communication technology, and low-power circuitry has opened the possibility of widespread use of microfabricated implantable wireless microsystems. A typical operational mode for these… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Modular Reasoning about Heap Paths via Effectively Propositional Formulas
First order logic with transitive closure, and separation logic enable elegant interactive verification of heap-manipulating programs. However, undecidabilty results and high asymptotic complexity of checking validity preclude complete automatic verification of such programs… Read more

Conference
Industry Day 2013
PRECISE’s “Cyber-Physical Systems Industry Day” is an informal and intimate day-long symposium for leading executives and engineers involved in designing and developing cyber-physical systems, embedded systems, hybrid and control systems, and Internet of Things. … Read more
