Detecting faults in manufacturing applications can be difficult, especially if each fault model is to be engineered by hand. Data-driven approaches, using Machine Learning (ML) for detecting faults have recently gained increasing interest,…

AutoML, intended as the process of automating the application of machine learning to real-world problems, is a key step for AI popularisation. Most AutoML frameworks are not accounting for the potential lack of fairness in the training data…

The well-known Unified Modeling Language (UML) describes software entities, such as interfaces, classes, operations and attributes, as well as relationships among them, e.g. inheritance, containment and dependency. The power of UML lies in…

The open-world deployment of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in safety-critical applications such as autonomous vehicles needs to address a variety of ML vulnerabilities such as interpretability, verifiability, and performance limitations.…

We propose a systematic method to directly identify a sensor fault estimation filter from plant input/output data collected under fault-free condition. This problem is challenging, especially when omitting the step of building an explicit…

Finite state machines (FSMs) are a theoretically and practically important model of computation. We propose a general, thermodynamically consistent model of FSMs and characterise the resource requirements of these machines. We model FSMs as…

In preparation for constructing or modifying information networks, network engineers develop configuration procedures for network devices according to network configuration specifications. However, as engineers typically create these…

This paper presents a new state space generation approach for dynamic fault trees (DFTs) together with a technique to synthesise failures rates in DFTs. Our state space generation technique aggressively exploits the DFT structure ---…

Machine learning (ML) methods are becoming increasingly important in the design economic scenario generators for internal models. Validation of data-driven models differs from classical theory-based models. We discuss two novel aspects of…

Building reliable applications for the cloud is challenging because of unpredictable failures during a program's execution. This paper presents a programming framework called Reliable State Machines (RSMs), that offers fault-tolerance by…

In model-driven engineering (MDE), UML class diagrams serve as a way to plan and communicate between developers. However, it is complex and resource-consuming. We propose an automated approach for the extraction of UML class diagrams from…

As machine learning (ML) systems increasingly permeate high-stakes settings such as healthcare, transportation, military, and national security, concerns regarding their reliability have emerged. Despite notable progress, the performance of…

The increasing use of machine-learning (ML) enabled systems in critical tasks fuels the quest for novel verification and validation techniques yet grounded in accepted system assurance principles. In traditional system development,…

Foundation models (FMs), such as Large Language Models (LLMs), have revolutionized software development by enabling new use cases and business models. We refer to software built using FMs as FMware. The unique properties of FMware (e.g.,…

Auto Feature Engineering (AFE) plays a crucial role in developing practical machine learning pipelines by automating the transformation of raw data into meaningful features that enhance model performance. By generating features in a…

With the ever increasing complexity of Industry 4.0 systems, plant energy management systems developed to improve energy sustainability become equally complex. Based on a Model-Based Systems Engineering analysis, this paper aims to provide…

Neural networks are increasingly used to support decision-making. To verify their reliability and adaptability, researchers and practitioners have proposed a variety of tools and methods for tasks such as NN code verification, refactoring,…

Automated driving functions at high levels of autonomy operate without driver supervision. The system itself must provide suitable responses in case of hardware element failures. This requires fault-tolerant approaches using domain ECUs and…

Traditionally, fault- or event-tree analyses or FMEAs have been used to estimate the probability of a safety-critical device creating a dangerous condition. However, these analysis techniques are less effective for systems primarily reliant…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in complex reasoning tasks, yet their decision-making processes remain difficult to interpret. Existing explanation methods often lack trustworthy structural insight and are…
