Many scientific and practical areas have shown increasing interest in reaping the benefits of blockchain technology to empower software systems. However, the unique characteristics and requirements associated with Blockchain Based Software…
Software systems are increasingly making decisions on behalf of humans, raising concerns about the fairness of such decisions. Such concerns are usually attributed to flaws in algorithmic design or biased data, but we argue that they are…
As the demand for efficient data processing escalates, reconfigurable analog hardware which implements novel analog compute paradigms, is promising for energy-efficient computing at the sensing and actuation boundaries. These analog…
The development of large, software-intensive systems is a complex undertaking that we generally tackle by a divide and conquer strategy. Companies thereby face the challenge of coordinating individual aspects of software development, in…
Fog Computing is now emerging as the dominating paradigm bridging the compute and connectivity gap between sensing devices (a.k.a. "things") and latency-sensitive services. However, as fog deployments scale by accumulating numerous devices…
Volatility is the language in which finance often describes risk, but it is not the language in which institutions experience risk. Allocators live through drawdowns, liquidity needs, spending rules, rebalance decisions, board oversight,…
The striking fractal geometry of strange attractors underscores the generative nature of chaos: like probability distributions, chaotic systems can be repeatedly measured to produce arbitrarily-detailed information about the underlying…
We consider networked control systems consisting of multiple independent controlled subsystems, operating over a shared communication network. Such systems are ubiquitous in cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, and large-scale…
During the usage phase, a technical product system is in permanent interaction with its environment. This interaction can lead to failures that significantly endanger the safety of the user and negatively affect the quality and reliability…
Considering the ever-evolving threat landscape and rapid changes in software development, we propose a risk assessment framework called SAFER (Software Analysis Framework for Evaluating Risk). This framework is based on the necessity of a…
Importance of addressing soft errors in both safety critical applications and commercial consumer products is increasing, mainly due to ever shrinking geometries, higher-density circuits, and employment of power-saving techniques such as…
This paper is concerned with the detection, resilient and fault-tolerant control issues for cyber-physical systems. To this end, the impairment of system dynamics caused by the defined types of cyber-attacks and process faults is analyzed.…
