A lattice-theoretic characterization of safety and liveness
The distinction between safety and liveness properties is due to Lamport who gave the following informal characterization. Safety properties assert that nothing bad ever happens w...

Embedded System Design Framework for Minimizing Code Size and Guaranteeing Real-Time Requirements
In addition to real-time requirements, the program code size is a critical design factor for real-time embedded systems. To take advantage of the code size vs. execution time trad...

Mechanical Computation for Passive Force Control
Force control implemented by a passive mechanical device (perhaps a wrist) has inherent advantages over active implementations. A passive mechanical device can regain some of the ...

Automating Refinement Checking in Probabilistic System Design
Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...

A constraint optimization framework for fractured robot teams
In dangerous and uncertain environments initial plans must be revised. Communication failures hamper this replanning. We introduce fractured subteams as a novel formalism for mode...
