In model predictive control (MPC), also called receding horizon control, the control input is obtained by solving a discrete-time optimal control problem over a given horizon, producing an optimal… (More)
The focus of surveillance missions is to acquire and verify information about enemy capabilities and positions of hostile targets. Such missions often involve a high element of risk for human… (More)
This article describes one of the major efforts in the sensor network community to build an integrated sensor network system for surveillance missions. The focus of this effort is to acquire and… (More)
A wide variety of sensors have been incorporated into a spectrum of wireless sensor network (WSN) platforms, providing flexible sensing capability over a large number of low-power and inexpensive… (More)
This paper concerns computational methods for verifying properties of polyhedral invariant hybrid automata(PIHA), which are hybrid automata with discrete transitions governed by polyhedral guards. To… (More)
This paper presents a computational technique for verifying properties of hybrid systems with arbitrary continuous dynamics. The approach is based on the computation of approximating automata, which… (More)
Hybrid dynamic systems include both continuous and discrete state variables. Properties of hybrid systems, which have an infinite state space, can often be verified using ordinary model checking… (More)
