  • In Memoriam Rudolf E. Kalman
    1 In Memoriam (photo: NAE) Rudolf E. Kalman May 19, 1930 - July 2, 2016 Professor Rudolf Emil Kalman, formerly Graduate Research Professor and Director of the Center for Mathematical System Theory at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida and the chair for Mathematical System Theory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, passed away peacefully at his home in Gainesville, Florida, on July 2, 2016, after a short but valiant fight with cancer. He was 86 years old. He is survived by his wife Constantina nee Stavrou, their two children Andrew and Elisabeth, and their families. Starting in the early 1960’s, Kalman’s creative genius launched an era of transformative strides in systems science that enabled technological achievements that include the landing on the moon and GPS-enabled cellphones. Chief amongst his creations was the Kalman filter which resides deep inside almost every navigation system, sensor technology, and computer-controlled regulation device. The present special commemorative issue of the ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control is dedicated to his memory and has been assembled to touch upon representative lines of research that spawned from his profound thought and to reflect upon his salient influence in so many facets of engineering and science. Rudolf Emil Kalman was born in Budapest on May 19, 1930, the son of Otto and Ursula Kalman. The Kalman family left Hungary in 1943, during World War II, and emigrated to the United States. The family arrived in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1949. Kalman attended Youngstown College for three years before being admitted at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study electrical engineering.

  • Security-Driven Design of Real-Time Embedded Systems
    Link¨oping Studies in Science and Technology Dissertations. No. 1729 Security-Driven Design of Real-Time Embedded Systems by Ke Jiang Department of Computer and Information Science Link¨oping University SE-581 83 Link¨oping, Sweden Link¨oping 2016 Copyright c Ke Jiang 2016 ISBN 978-91-7685-884-4 ISSN 0345{7524 Printed by LiU Tryck 2015 URL: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-123016 献给我的家人 Abstract eal-time embedded systems (RTESs) have been widely used in R modern society. And it is also very common to find them in safety and security critical applications, such as transportation and medical equipment. There are, usually, several constraints imposed on a RTES, for example, timing, resource, energy, and performance, which must be satisfied simultaneously. This makes the design of such systems a difficult problem. More recently, the security of RTESs emerges as a major design concern, as more and more attacks have been reported. However, RTES security, as a parameter to be considered during the design process, has been overlooked in the past. This thesis approaches the design of secure RTESs focusing on aspects that are particularly important in the context of RTES, such as communication confiden- tiality and side-channel attack resistance. Several techniques are presented in this thesis for designing secure RTESs, including hardware/software co-design techniques for commu- nication confidentiality on distributed platforms, a global framework for secure multi-mode real-time systems, and a scheduling policy for thwarting differential power analysis attacks. All the proposed solutions have been extensively evaluated in a large amount of experiments, including two real-life case studies, which demonstrate the efficiency of the presented techniques.
