A constant-rate multi-mode system is a hybrid system that can switch freely among a finite set of modes, and whose dynamics is specified by a finite number of real-valued variables with mode-dependent constant rates. We introduce and study a stochastic extension of a constant-rate multi-mode system where the dynamics is specified by mode-dependent compactly supported probability distributions over a set of constant rate vectors. The almost-sure reachability problem for stochastic multi-mode systems is to decide whether for all ε > 0 and for all pairs of start and target states in a path-connected and bounded safety set there exists a control strategy that almost-surely steers the system from the start state to the ε-neighborhood of the target state without leaving the safety set. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition to decide almost-sure reachability and, using this condition, we show that almost-sure reachability can be decided in polynomial time. Our algorithm can be used as a path-following algorithm in combination with off-the-shelf path-planning algorithms to make a robot with noisy low-level controllers follow a path with arbitrary precision.

We consider the problem of optimal clock allocation for a fairly general class of timed automata, TAS, under the safe assumption that all locations are reachable. Techniques similar to those used in compiler technology allow us to construct an interference graph: the problem of clock allocation for timed automata in TAS can be reduced to that of colouring this graph. We then describe a class of timed automata, TADS ⊊ TAS, for which optimal clock allocation can be computed in polynomial time, because the corresponding interference graphs are perfect. Finally, we discuss some of the difficulties in applying similar techniques to timed automata outside TAS.

We propose an algorithm to over-approximate the reachable set of nonlinear systems with bounded, time-varying parameters and uncertain initial conditions. The algorithm is based on the conservative representation of the nonlinear dynamics by a differential inclusion consisting of a linear term and the Minkowsky sum of two convex sets. The linear term and one of the two sets are obtained by a conservative first-order over-approximation of the nonlinear dynamics with respect to the system state. The second set accounts for the effect of the time-varying parameters. A distinctive feature of the novel algorithm is the possibility to over-approximate the reachable set to any desired accuracy by appropriately choosing the parameters in the computation. We provide an example that illustrates the effectiveness of our approach.

Signal Temporal Logic (STL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems, and monitoring these specifications, specially when (for different reasons such as learning) behavior of systems can change over time, is quite important. There are three main challenges in this area: (1) full observation of system state is not possible due to noise or nuisance parameters, (2) the whole execution is not available during the monitoring, and (3) computational complexity of monitoring continuous time signals is very high. Although, each of these challenges has been addressed by different works, to the best of our knowledge, no one has addressed them all together. In this paper, we show how to extend any parameter invariant test procedure for single points in time to a parameter invariant test procedure for efficiently monitoring continuous time executions of a system against STL properties. We also show, how to extend probabilistic error guarantee of the input test procedure to a probabilistic error guarantee for the constructed test procedure.

This paper deals with input/output-to-state stability (IOSS) of continuous-time switched nonlinear systems under restricted switching. The switching signals obey restrictions on: (i) transitions between subsystems, and (ii) dwell time on subsystems. Given a family of systems, possibly containing non-IOSS dynamics, we present an algorithm to construct a time-dependent switching signal that guarantees IOSS of the resulting switched system under these restrictions. The main apparatus for our analysis are multiple Lyapunov-like functions and graph-theoretic tools.

In this paper, we explain the architecture and implementation of the tool Averist that performs stability verification for linear hybrid systems. This tool implements a hybridization method for approximating linear hybrid systems by hybrid systems with polyhedral inclusion dynamics. It also implements a new counterexample guided abstraction refinement framework for analyzing the hybrid systems with polyhedral inclusion dynamics that are generated as a result of the hybridization. Some of the main features of our tool are as follows: (1) our tool is based on algorithmic techniques that do not rely on the computation of Lyapunov functions, (2) it returns a counterexample when it fails to establish stability, (3) it is less prone to numerical instability issues as compared to Lyapunov function based tools.

As control applications are particularly sensitive to timing variations, the Quality of Control (QoC) is degraded by varying execution conditions of the underlying real-time system. In particular, transitions between different execution or environmental conditions pose a significant issue as they may impact the QoC unexpectedly. So far, the QoC is usually evaluated either in a stationary, time-invariant way, which cannot analyze said transitions, or by simulation, which becomes inefficient when confronted with random influencing factors. In this paper, we propose a new perspective on QoC evaluation for modern, adaptive real-time systems with varying timing conditions. For this, we present a time-variant stochastic assessment approach that incorporates the effects mentioned before. Our results demonstrate that adaptive scheduling and runtime behavior considerably impacts the QoC. At the same time, the proposed scheme significantly outperforms a traditional simulation.
