Monitors are a key tool in the field of runtime verification, where they are used to verify system properties by analyzing execution traces generated by processes. Work on runtime monitoring carried out in a series of papers by Aceto et…

Semantic communication, as a revolutionary communication architecture, is considered a promising novel communication paradigm. Unlike traditional symbol-based error-free communication systems, semantic-based visual communication systems…

Totally self-checking (TSC) circuits are synthesised with a grid of computers running a distributed population based stochastic optimisation algorithm. The presented method is the first to automatically synthesise TSC circuits from…

This thesis describes our ongoing work on Contrastive Predictive Coding (CPC) features for speaker verification. CPC is a recently proposed representation learning framework based on predictive coding and noise contrastive estimation. We…

Autonomous driving functions (ADFs) in public traffic have to comply with complex system requirements that are based on knowledge of experts from different disciplines, e.g., lawyers, safety experts, psychologists. In this paper, we present…

Assertion-based verification (ABV) is a critical method for ensuring design circuits comply with their architectural specifications, which are typically described in natural language. This process often requires human interpretation by…

We tackle a new problem of semantic view synthesis -- generating free-viewpoint rendering of a synthesized scene using a semantic label map as input. We build upon recent advances in semantic image synthesis and view synthesis for handling…

Verified controller synthesis uses world models that comprise all potential behaviours of humans, robots, further equipment, and the controller to be synthesised. A world model enables quantitative risk assessment, for example, by…

Supervisory controllers control cyber-physical systems to ensure their correct and safe operation. Synthesis-based engineering (SBE) is an approach to largely automate their design and implementation. SBE combines model-based engineering…

This paper presents the verification of control systems implemented in Simulink. The goal is to ensure that high-level requirements on control performance, like stability, are satisfied by the Simulink diagram. A two stage process is…

This paper develops a new framework for program synthesis, called semantics-guided synthesis (SemGuS), that allows a user to provide both the syntax and the semantics for the constructs in the language. SemGuS accepts a recursively defined…

Most programming languages use monitors with explicit signals for synchronization in shared-memory programs. Requiring program- mers to signal threads explicitly results in many concurrency bugs due to missed notifications, or notifications…

Functional verification increasingly relies on Assertion-Based Verification (ABV), which has become a key approach for verifying hardware designs due to its efficiency and effectiveness. Central to ABV are automatic assertion miners, which…

Structured Visual Content (SVC) such as graphs, flow charts, or the like are used by authors to illustrate various concepts. While such depictions allow the average reader to better understand the contents, images containing SVCs are…

Cluster analysis relies on effective benchmarks for evaluating and comparing different algorithms. Simulation studies on synthetic data are popular because important features of the data sets, such as the overlap between clusters, or the…

This work is concerned with the generation of formal specifications from code, using Large Language Models (LLMs) in combination with symbolic methods. Concretely, in our study, the programming language is C, the specification language is…

Runtime monitors assess whether a system is in an unsafe state based on a stream of observations. We study the problem where the system is subject to probabilistic uncertainty and described by a hidden Markov model. A stream of observations…

While many studies and tools target the basic stabilizability problem of networked control systems (NCS), nowadays modern systems require more sophisticated objectives such as those expressed as formulae in linear temporal logic or as…

We introduce a novel approach to automatically synthesize a mathematical representation of the control algorithms implemented in industrial cyber-physical systems (CPS), given the embedded system binary. The output model can be used by…

Automated Audio Captioning is a multimodal task that aims to convert audio content into natural language. The assessment of audio captioning systems is typically based on quantitative metrics applied to text data. Previous studies have…
