The potential benefits of autonomous systems have been driving intensive development of such systems, and of supporting tools and methodologies. However, there are still major issues to be dealt with before such development becomes…
In the last decade it became a common practice to formalise software requirements to improve the clarity of users' expectations. In this work we build on the fact that functional requirements can be expressed in temporal logic and we…
With the increasing complexity of software systems, it becomes very difficult to install, configure, adjust, and maintain them. As systems become more interconnected and diverse, system architects are less able to predict and design the…
Self-adaptive software can assess and modify its behavior when the assessment indicates that the program is not performing as intended or when improved functionality or performance is available. Since the mid-1960s, the subject of system…
New testing and development procedures and methods are needed to address topics like power system stability, operation and control in the context of grid integration of rapidly developing smart grid technologies. In this context, individual…
Active replication following the state machine replication (SMR) approach is a way to make existing systems and services more reliable and fault-tolerant. The additional communication overhead has a negative impact on the system's…
The technological advancements of recent years have steadily increased the complexity of vehicle-internal software systems, and the ongoing development towards autonomous driving will further aggravate this situation. This is leading to a…
A new method is developed to deal with the problem that a complex decentralized control system needs to keep centralized control performance. The systematic procedure emphasizes quickly finding the decentralized subcontrollers that matching…
It is well-understood that the robustness of mechanical and robotic control systems depends critically on minimizing sensitivity to arbitrary application-specific details whenever possible. For example, if a system is defined and performs…
A novel method for control of dynamical systems, proposed in the paper, ensures an output signal belonging to the given set at any time. The method is based on a special change of coordinates such that the initial problem with given…
Embedded systems are becoming more in demand to work in dynamic and uncertain environments, and being confined to the strong requirements of real-time. Conventional static scheduling models usually cannot cope with runtime modification in…
The creation of the systems models is very actual at present time, because it allow to simulate the work of some complex equipment without any additional spends. The given model of gas turbine is allowed to test and optimize the software…
Software systems are increasingly used in application domains characterised by uncertain environments, evolving requirements and unexpected failures; sudden system malfunctioning raises serious issues of security, safety, loss of comfort or…
The transition from large centralized complex control systems to distributed configurations that rely on a network of a very large number of interconnected simpler subsystems is ongoing and inevitable in many applications. It is attributed…
Control systems can show robustness to many events, like disturbances and model inaccuracies. It is natural to speculate that they are also robust to sporadic deadline misses when implemented as digital tasks on an embedded platform. This…
Recent years have seen significant progress in the realm of robot autonomy, accompanied by the expanding reach of robotic technologies. However, the emergence of new deployment domains brings unprecedented challenges in ensuring safe…
The purpose of this review paper is to present some recent results on the modeling and control of large systems of agents. We focus on particular applications where the agents are capable of independent actions instead of simply reacting to…
Controlling complex dynamical systems has been a topic of considerable interest in academic circles in recent decades. While existing works have primarily focused on closed-loop control schemes with infinite-time durations, this paper…
