Applying an object detector, which is neither trained nor fine-tuned on data close to the final application, often leads to a substantial performance drop. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to consider a shift between…
Reliable controllers with high flexibility and performance are necessary for the control of intricate, advanced, and expensive systems such as aircraft, marine vessels, automotive vehicles, and satellites. Meanwhile, control allocation has…
Motivated by COVID-19 vaccine allocation, where vulnerable subpopulations are simultaneously more impacted in terms of health and more disadvantaged in terms of access to the vaccine, we formalize and study the problem of resource…
The aviation literature gives relatively little guidance to practitioners about the specifics of architecting systems for safety, particularly the impact of architecture on allocating safety requirements, or the relative ease of system…
Cyber-secure networked control is modeled, analyzed, and experimentally illustrated in this paper. An attack space defined by the adversary's system knowledge, disclosure, and disruption resources is introduced. Adversaries constrained by…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed over knowledge bases for efficient knowledge retrieval and question answering. However, LLMs can inadvertently answer beyond a user's permission scope, leaking sensitive content, thus…
Biaxial motion control systems are used extensively in manufacturing and printing industries. To improve throughput and reduce machine cost, lightweight materials are being proposed in structural components but may result in higher…
Least privilege is a core security principle: grant each request only the minimum access needed to achieve its goal. Deployed language models almost never follow it, instead being exposed through a single API endpoint that serves all users…
In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework for goal-oriented communication assisted by reconfigurable meta-surfaces in the context of networked control systems. The relation to goal-oriented communication stems from the fact that…
The use of machine learning to investigate grasp affordances has received extensive attention over the past several decades. The existing literature provides a robust basis to build upon, though a number of aspects may be improved. Results…
With increasing emphasis on transparency in digital governance, users expect more than silence when their access requests are denied by a system. However, authorization methods are notorious for their inability to provide any form of…
Two of the main paradigms used to build adaptive software employ different types of properties to capture relevant aspects of the system's run-time behavior. On the one hand, control systems consider properties that concern static aspects…
The issue of fairness in machine learning models has recently attracted a lot of attention as ensuring it will ensure continued confidence of the general public in the deployment of machine learning systems. We focus on mitigating the harm…
Post-training alignment has increasingly become a crucial factor in enhancing the usability of language models (LMs). However, the strength of alignment varies depending on individual preferences. This paper proposes a method to incorporate…
Asset scanning and discovery is the first and foremost step for organizations to understand what assets they have and what to protect. There is currently a plethora of free and commercial asset scanning tools specializing in identifying…
Concept bottleneck models have been successfully used for explainable machine learning by encoding information within the model with a set of human-defined concepts. In the context of human-assisted or autonomous driving, explainability…
Recent work on relationship-based access control has begun to show how it can be applied to general computing systems, as opposed to simply being employed for social networking applications. The use of relationships to determine…
We consider the localization problem between agents while they run a formation control algorithm. These algorithms typically demand from the agents the information about their relative positions with respect to their neighbors. We assume…
We survey recent work on the specification of an access control mechanism in a collaborative environment. The work is presented in the context of the WebdamLog language, an extension of datalog to a distributed context. We discuss a…
The existence of errors or inconsistencies in the configuration of security components, such as filtering routers and/or firewalls, may lead to weak access control policies -- potentially easy to be evaded by unauthorized parties. We…
