We introduce a framework for Foundational Analysis of Safety Engineering Requirements (SAFER), a model-driven methodology supported by Generative AI to improve the generation and analysis of safety requirements for complex safety-critical…
Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) operate in the harsh marine environment with limited accessibility and maintainability. Not only failures are more likely to occur than in land-based turbines, but also corrective maintenance is more…
Semi-autonomous (SA) systems face the challenge of determining which source to prioritize for control, whether it's from the human operator or the autonomous controller, especially when they conflict with each other. While one may design an…
A system vulnerability analysis technique (SVAT) for the analysis of complex mission critical systems (CMCS) that cannot be taken offline or subjected to the risks posed by traditional penetration testing was previously developed. This…
Miniaturized satellites are currently not considered suitable for critical, high-priority, and complex multi-phased missions, due to their low reliability. As hardware-side fault tolerance (FT) solutions designed for larger spacecraft can…
When considering the accuracy of sensors in an automated vehicle (AV), it is not sufficient to evaluate the performance of any given sensor in isolation. Rather, the performance of any individual sensor must be considered in the context of…
The scope of automotive functions has grown from a single-vehicle as an entity to multiple vehicles working together as an entity, referred to as cooperative driving. The current automotive safety standard, ISO 26262, is designed for single…
Driving Automation Systems (DAS) are subject to complex road environments and vehicle behaviors and increasingly rely on sophisticated sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These properties give rise to unique safety faults stemming…
Very-High Resolution (VHR) remote sensing imagery is increasingly accessible, but often lacks annotations for effective machine learning applications. Recent foundation models like GroundingDINO and Segment Anything (SAM) provide…
A key challenge in System of Systems (SoS) engineering is the analysis and maintenance of global properties under SoS evolution, and the integration of new constituent elements. There is a need to model the constituent systems composing a…
It is commonly agreed that highly parallel software on Exascale computers will suffer from many more runtime failures due to the decreasing trend in the mean time to failures (MTTF). Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of research is…
With FPGAs now being deployed in the cloud and at the edge, there is a need for scalable design methods which can incorporate the heterogeneity present in the hardware and software components of FPGA systems. Moreover, these FPGA systems…
Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm has been proposed as an auspicious solution to handle the strict communication requirements between the increasingly large number of cores on a single multi and many-core chips. However, NoC systems are…
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) now support critical infrastructure spanning transportation, energy, manufacturing, medical devices, and autonomous robotics. Their defining characteristic is the tight coupling between digital computation and…
We propose an extension to the OWASP Multi-Agentic System (MAS) Threat Modeling Guide, translating recent anticipatory research in multi-agent security (MASEC) into practical guidance for addressing challenges unique to large language model…
The embedding of fault tolerance provisions into the application layer of a programming language is a non-trivial task that has not found a satisfactory solution yet. Such a solution is very important, and the lack of a simple, coherent and…
This paper examines the problem of introducing advanced forms of fault-tolerance via reconfiguration into safety-critical avionic systems. This is required to enable increased availability after fault occurrence in distributed integrated…
The microservice software architecture leverages the idea of splitting large monolithic applications into multiple smaller services that interact using lightweight communication schemes. While the microservice architecture has proven its…
Many tile systems require techniques to be applied to increase components resilience and control the FIT (Failures In Time) rate. When scaling to peta- exa-scale systems the FIT rate may become unacceptable due to component numerosity,…
Reliability and fault tolerance are critical attributes of embedded cyber-physical systems that require a high safety-integrity level. For such systems, the use of formal functional safety specifications has been strongly advocated in most…
