Accomplishments
2002 Major Accomplishments
 | Developed anomaly detection methodologies through discrete-event vector
representation of non-stationary behavior, using automata theory and
statistical mechanics. |
| Formulated optimal supervisory control algorithms for system and component
level fault mitigation based on real signed measure using a bounded operator
representation of controller sublanguage dynamics. |
| Developed algorithms for prediction of residual life in structural
materials using fractional Brownian motion representation of time-dependent
uncertainties. |
| Developed methods for early detection of catastrophic failures through
analyses of chaos and fractional dimensional dynamics. |
| Developed computer-controlled test apparatuses and designed experiments
for validation of anomaly detection, residual life prediction, and life
extending control of mechanical structures, software operational faults and
malicious executables, computer hardware, and networked multi-robot systems,
under external stimuli and self-excited perturbations. |
2001 Major Accomplishments
| A language measure for damage-mitigating controller performance, to
quantitatively specify dependability and control. |
| Dependable design methods for communication networks. |
| Hardware-in-the-loop fault simulation testbed incorporating (i)
CMU's fault behavior model, (ii) Duke's fault-diagnosis model, and (iii)
PSU's robotic controllers. |
