Techniques for Identifying Elusive Corner-Case Bugs in Systems Software

Modern software is plagued by elusive corner-case bugs (e.g., security bugs). Because there are no scalable, automated ways of finding them, such bugs can remain hidden until software is deployed in production. This thesis proposes approaches to solve this ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Jan Skaloud, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...

Style Checking With Scala.Meta

Eugene Burmako, Mathieu Baptiste Demarne

In many companies, code reviews are big parts of the day-to-day life of an engineer. Some can argue that the time spent on someone else’s code is time that some cannot spent on her or his own work. Code reviews usually allow to find two kinds of issues. Th ...

Reduced basis approximation of parametrized optimal flow control problems for the Stokes equations

Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Federico Negri

This paper extends the reduced basis method for the solution of parametrized optimal control problems presented in Negri et al. (2013) to the case of noncoercive (elliptic) equations, such as the Stokes equations. We discuss both the theoretical properties ...

Automated Real-Time Control of Fluidic Self-Assembly of Microparticles

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Felix Stephan Schill, Helmut Knapp

Self-assembly is a key coordination mechanism for large multi-unit systems and a powerful bottom-up technology for micro/nanofabrication. Controlled self-assembly and dynamic reconfiguration of large ensembles of microscopic particles can effectively bridg ...

Experimental Characterization of Drobot: Towards Closed-Loop Control

Massimo Mastrangeli, Pierre Lambert

This paper presents advances in the development of a microrobotic platform actuated by three liquid droplets in a gaseous environment (Drop-bot or Drobot). Drobot builds on the bubble robotics concept earlier introduced by Lenders [1]. A new platform desig ...

Offset-Free Output Feedback Predictive Control for Longitudinal Beam Dynamics in Heavy Ion Synchrotrons

Timm Faulwasser

Control of the longitudinal beam dynamics in heavy ion synchrotrons is a challenging task due primarily to the very fast time constants present in the system. Recently, the authors developed a model predictive controller for this system and demonstrated th ...
