Title:
Determining the Limits of Self-Adaptive Behaviour of Robots from a Safety Perspective
Research area and project description:
In the realm of cyber-physical systems, ensuring the trustworthiness of self-adaptation processes is a pivotal challenge. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aarhus University hopes to address this challenge by developing a comprehensive approach that involves the analysis, modeling, and verification of self-adaptation loops.
The appropriate candidate will play a central role in the development and deployment of trustworthiness checkers for self-adaptation loops. The main tasks to be carried out include:
1. Domain Analysis and Ontology Development: Conduct a systematic analysis of the case studies and their safety and performance checks. Collaborate closely with our industrial partners to create an ontology capturing the commonalities and differences in verification requirements across domains.
2. Language Definition and IDE Development: Define a languages to describe safety procedures within adaptation loops. Incorporate multi-paradigm modeling techniques into the language and create an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) using the language server protocol.
3. Formally Verified Trustworthiness Checkers: Generate formally verified trustworthiness checkers and accompanying documentation. Translate domain expert descriptions into for example, Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) for creating verified checkers, leveraging traces from the MAPE-K loop.
4. Integration of Trustworthiness Checkers: Establish the interfaces necessary for communication between trustworthiness checkers and the MAPE-K loops developed by our university partners, to ensure seamless integration of the developed components.
