Mixed-Initiative Control of a Roadable Air Vehicle for Non-Pilots
2015
Journal of Human-Robot Interaction
A mixed-initiative control approach mitigates these vulnerabilities by integrating the operator into many complex control domains in the way that they often expect-flexibly in charge, aware, but not required ...
Military applications seek to combine the benefits of ground and air vehicles to maximize flexibility of movement but require that the operator have minimal pilot training. ...
Additionally, the authors would like to acknowledge the efforts of the research and development team that supported the development of the prototypes, the running of the experiments, and the analysis of ...

A Tutorial Introduction to Designs in Unifying Theories of Programming
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In their Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP), Hoare & He use the alphabetised relational calculus to give denotational semantics to a wide variety of constructs taken from different programming paradigms ...
We illustrate the ideas by applying them to theories of imperative programming, including Hoare logic, weakest preconditions, and the refinement calculus. ...
The presentation of conditional as an infix operator allows the formulation of many laws in a helpful way. ...

Program Derivation by Correctness Enhacements
2016
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
In this paper, we discuss a process of program derivation that replaces traditional sequence of refinement-based correctness-preserving transformations starting from specification R by a sequence of relative ...
correctness-based correctness-enhancing transformations starting from abort. ...
programs produce in violation of the specification (for non-deterministic programs); third we conduct a detailed analysis of the relations between relative correctness and the property of refinement. ...

Lazy Abstraction with Interpolants
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
On device driver benchmarks, we observe a speedup of up to two orders of magnitude relative to a similar tool using predicate abstraction. ...
We describe a model checker for infinite-state sequential programs, based on Craig interpolation and the lazy abstraction paradigm. ...
Acknowledgments Thanks to Daniel Kröning for providing the SATABS tool infrastructure used in this work, to Ranjit Jhala for help with Blast, and to the anonymous reviewers for useful comments and corrections ...
