Existing formal approaches to embedded control software design are based on formal verification. Instead of verifying already designed software, we are investigating the synthesis of correct-
Since the process of communicating information is, in general, the most expensive, the reduction of communication requirements is paramount to obtain energy efficient control over sensor/actuator networks. In this project we explore the application of event-triggered control ideas in distributed settings as energy efficient implementations of control over wireless networks.
Control and Real-Time Scheduling Codesign (NSF 0712502)
Control tasks are traditionally treated as periodic hard real-time tasks. In this project we are exploring event-triggered and self-triggered paradigms for control tasks and its real-time scheduling support.
