Approximate bisimulation: A bridge between computer science and control theory

A Girard, GJ Pappas - European Journal of Control, 2011 - Elsevier
Fifty years ago, control and computing were part of a broader system science. After a long
period of separate development within each discipline, embedded and hybrid systems have …

Safety controller synthesis for incrementally stable switched systems using multiscale symbolic models

A Girard, G Gössler, S Mouelhi - IEEE Transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

A notion of robustness for cyber-physical systems

M Rungger, P Tabuada - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Robustness as a system property describes the degree to which a system is able to function
correctly in the presence of disturbances, ie, unforeseen or erroneous inputs. In this paper …

Augmented finite transition systems as abstractions for control synthesis

P Nilsson, N Ozay, J Liu - Discrete Event Dynamic Systems, 2017 - Springer
This work is motivated by the problem of synthesizing switching protocols for continuous

A study on run time assurance for complex cyber physical systems

M Clark, X Koutsoukos, R Kumar, I Lee… - Air Force Research …, 2013 - apps.dtic.mil
Cyber-physical systems are becoming more and more complex, thereby increasing the cost
