Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Hardware in Cybersecurity - from the Weakest Link to Great Promises
It is well-known that hardware implementation can outperform the software implementation of the same application, including security primitives such as encryption, by up to several magnitudes. However, hardware implementation may also make security primitives vulnerable… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Cyber-Physical Systems - Continuity and Transitions
This talk takes a retrospective look at the course of Cyber-Physical Systems, and then looks forward to challenges ahead.  There have been changes, and more are coming – some seen, some doubtless not anticipated.  But the need for, and interest in, the CPS area is only… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Rational Synthesis
Synthesis is the automated construction of a system from its specification.  The system has to satisfy its specification in all possible environments. Modern systems often interact with other systems, or agents. Many times these agents have objectives of their own, other than… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Allocation, Isolation & Dynamics in Compositional RT Systems & Applications to Control System Design
The recent focus upon compositional design in real-time systems research has yielded a number of promising frameworks for the integration of multiple safety- and time-critical components upon a shared computational platform.  Integration of components has a profound impact… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Cyber-Physical Aspects of the Artificial Pancreas
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that causes the destruction of the pancreatic beta cells, permanently suppressing insulin secretion and requiring patients to manually inject or infuse insulin to keep blood sugar levels close to normal.  Self-treatment of T1D… Read more

Seminar
PRECISE Seminar: Data Flow Graphs for Verification of Concurrent Programs
In this talk, I will try to make a case for the use of data flow graphs as a suitable notion for abstractions of concurrent programs for the purpose of verification. I will talk about two successful experiences that we have had with these graphs. One is the development of an… Read more
