This paper aims to enhance the computational efficiency of safety verification of neural network control systems by developing a guaranteed neural network model reduction method. First, a concept of model reduction precision is proposed to…

Modern engineering systems include many components of different types and functions. Verifying that these systems satisfy given specifications can be an arduous task, as most formal verification methods are limited to systems of moderate…

This paper aims at the safety-critical control synthesis of network systems such that the satisfaction of the safety constraints can be guaranteed. To handle the large state dimension of such systems, an assume-guarantee contract is used to…

Providing safety guarantees for autonomous systems is difficult as these systems operate in complex environments that require the use of learning-enabled components, such as deep neural networks (DNNs) for visual perception. DNNs are hard…

We describe an automated technique for assume-guarantee style checking of strong simulation between a system and a specification, both expressed as non-deterministic Labeled Probabilistic Transition Systems (LPTSes). We first characterize…

The notion of strong structural controllability (s-controllability) allows for determining controllability properties of large linear time-invariant systems even when numerical values of the system parameters are not known a priori. The…

We propose a technique to assess the vulnerability of the power system state estimator. We aim at identifying measurements that have a high potential of being the target of false data injection attacks. From an adversary's point of view,…

This paper proposes a (control) barrier function synthesis and safety verification scheme for interconnected nonlinear systems based on assume-guarantee contracts (AGC) and sum-of-squares (SOS) techniques. It is well-known that the SOS…

Introduction of renewable generation leads to significant reduction of inertia in power system, which deteriorates the quality of frequency control. This paper suggests a new control scheme utilizing controllable load to deal with low…

The reduction of overall system inertia in modern power systems due to the increasing deployment of distributed energy resources is generally recognized as a major issue for system stability. Consequently, real-time monitoring of system…

The decision logic for the ACAS X family of aircraft collision avoidance systems is represented as a large numeric table. Due to storage constraints of certified avionics hardware, neural networks have been suggested as a way to…

We introduce a versatile framework to model and study networked control systems (NCSs). An NCS is described as a feedback interconnection of a plant and a controller communicating through a bidirectional channel modelled by cascaded…

In this paper, we propose a method to establish a networked control system that maintains its stability in the presence of certain undesirable incidents on local controllers. We call such networked control systems weakly resilient. We first…

Deep neural network controllers for autonomous driving have recently benefited from significant performance improvements, and have begun deployment in the real world. Prior to their widespread adoption, safety guarantees are needed on the…

This paper presents for the first time, to our knowledge, a framework for verifying neural network behavior in power system applications. Up to this moment, neural networks have been applied in power systems as a black-box; this has…

Networked Control System (NCS) is a paradigm where sensors, controllers, and actuators communicate over a shared network. One promising application of NCS is the control of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in the industrial environment, for…
