Abstract. We define a probabilistic contract framework for the construction of component-based embedded systems, based on the theory of Interactive Markov Chains. A contract specif...
Thermal micro-actuators are a promising solution to the need for large-displacement, gentle handling force, low-power MEMS actuators. Potential applications of these devices are mi...
We consider a linearized parameter-varying model of a planar crane and show how a controller can be designed, following the state-feedback stabilization technique for time-varying...
Personas are useful for obtaining an empirically grounded understanding of a secure system's user population, its contexts of use, and possible vulnerabilities and threats end...
: We study a new supply chain network design problem with environmental concerns. We are interested in the environmental investments decisions in the design phase and propose a mul...
