WASP – Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program’s Post

“The outcomes of this thesis advance the science and engineering of resilient system design, contributing knowledge and practices that address significant technical challenges in cyber-physical systems.” Ricardo Caldas, WASP PhD student at Chalmers tekniska högskola and Göteborgs universitet is defending the doctoral thesis “From Chance to Choice: Strategies to Attaining Resilience in Cyber-Physical Systems” on December 2th at 13:00. What are the main findings of your doctoral thesis? “This thesis introduces strategies for systematically developing resilience in cyber-physical systems. We propose seven core strategies that include runtime assessment, harnessing the diversity and intelligence of agents, and managing uncertainty through intentional early bug-catching, adaptation, and automated explanation. Additionally, we provide exemplars that serve as models for resilience, offering practical insights into how resilient behaviours can be engineered and sustained. These strategies draw from extensive research in software engineering, adaptive systems, and robotics, blending both quantitative and qualitative methods in a design science framework.” In what way can your research be of importance to our society in the future? “The outcomes of this thesis advance the science and engineering of resilient system design, contributing knowledge and practices that address significant technical challenges in cyber-physical systems. More broadly, they support societal goals by enhancing the credibility of software technologies we increasingly rely on, from healthcare to autonomous vehicles and robotics, ensuring that they can withstand and adapt to the demands of a complex, ever-changing world.” Join the public defense on December 2nd at 13:00 at Omega Room, Jupiter Building, Lindholmen Campus, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg Supervisors: Patrizio Pelliccione and Thorsten Berger #wasp #waspgraduateschool #phd More information about the defense and link to thesis: https://lnkd.in/duCeJBWp
