Event Listing

In this talk I will discuss research advances that led to practical tools for automatically proving program termination and related properties, e.g. liveness. Practical applications include automatically proving device driver correctness, and pharmaceutical research.  Read more

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

Motivated by the need to secure critical infrastructure against sensor attacks, in this talk I will focus on a problem known as "secure state estimation”. It consists of estimating the state of a dynamical system when a subset of its sensors is arbitrarily corrupted by an… Read more

Multi- and many-core processors commonly found in server-class systems are now increasingly popular in embedded platforms. Many of these processors feature hardware virtualization capabilities, such as the ARM Cortex A15, and x86 processors with Intel VT-x or AMD-V support.… Read more

Healthcare spending is nearing $3 trillion per year, but in spite of this expenditure, the US is outpaced by most developed countries with regard to outcomes. Until recently, one of the key bottlenecks for research in care delivery was the lack of data to analyze the health… Read more

The talk will move from capsule robots for gastrointestinal endoscopy toward a new generation of surgical robots and devices, having a relevant reduction in invasiveness as the main driver for innovation. Wireless capsule endoscopy has already been extremely helpful for the… Read more

At the heart of the new enterprise is the ability to continuously gather information about business entities of interest (of any shape/form/size), run analytics against them (to cluster, correlate, learn patterns, predict future behavior), and inform ongoing business… Read more

As computing devices are increasingly consolidated and shared by multiple, potentially distrusting, applications, hardware must be able to provide strong isolation among software entities. For example, automative systems must be able to ensure that safety-critical control… Read more

Formal verification and theorem proving have been used successfully in many discrete applications, such as chip design and verification.  However, computation is not confined to the discrete world of desktop computing.  Increasingly, we depend on discrete software to control… Read more

This talk will focus on the design of distributed estimation systems that are formed by multiple non-collocated components. A shared network is used to disseminate information among the components. I will discuss two recent results: Assuming that the network is… Read more
