Safety validation is a crucial component in the development and deployment of autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles and robotic systems. Ensuring safe operation necessitates extensive testing and verification of control…
When an interval of integers between the lower bound l_i and the upper bounds u_i is the support of the marginal distribution n_i|(n_{i-1}, ...,n_1), Chen et al. 2005 noticed that sampling from the interval at each step, for n_i during the…
Fault tolerance is a key factor of industrial computing systems design. But in practical terms, these systems, like every commercial product, are under great financial constraints and they have to remain in operational state as long as…
Identifying drawbacks or insufficiencies in terms of safety is important also in early development stages of safety critical systems. In industry, development artefacts such as components or units, are often reused from existing artefacts…
