Formal Synthesis of Control Strategies for Positive Monotone Systems [PDF]
, 2017 We design controllers from formal specifications for positive discrete-time monotone systems that are subject to bounded disturbances. Such systems are widely used to model the dynamics of transportation and biological networks.

Intermittent Visual Servoing: Efficiently Learning Policies Robust to Instrument Changes for High-precision Surgical Manipulation [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2020 Assisting surgeons with automation of surgical subtasks is challenging due to backlash, hysteresis, and variable tensioning in cable-driven robots. These issues are exacerbated as surgical instruments are changed during an operation.

Controlled Sensing for Multihypothesis Testing
, 2013 The problem of multiple hypothesis testing with observation control is considered in both fixed sample size and sequential settings. In the fixed sample size setting, for binary hypothesis testing, the optimal exponent for the maximal error probability ...

Toward a Multi-Layer Defence Framework for Securing Near-Real-Time Operations in Open RAN
IEEE Open Journal of the Communications SocietySecuring the near-real-time (near-RT) control operations in Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN) is increasingly critical, yet remains insufficiently addressed, as new runtime threats target the control loop while the system is operational.

Optimal railway infrastructure maintenance and repair policies to manage risk under uncertainty with adaptive control [PDF]
, 2006 The aim of this paper is to apply two adaptive control formulations under uncertainty, say open-loop and closed-loop, to the process of developing maintenance and repair policies for railway infrastructures.

Multistage Adaptive Estimation of Sparse Signals
, 2013 This paper considers sequential adaptive estimation of sparse signals under a constraint on the total sensing effort. The advantage of adaptivity in this context is the ability to focus more resources on regions of space where signal components exist ...

Variably Protease‐Sensitive Prionopathy: Two New Cases With Motor Neuron‐Dementia Syndrome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe two patients with variably protease‐sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) who developed progressive upper motor neuron symptoms, insomnia, behavioral and cognitive decline, compatible with primary lateral sclerosis associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
