System integration today relies on ad-hoc methods: After all the components have been designed and manufactured, existing integration methods simply aim at 'making it work somehow'. As the complexity of engineered systems continues to increase, our lack of a systematic theory for systems integration creates more and more problems.
This research project addresses fundamental challenges in the verification and analysis of distributed hybrid systems. In particular, we are working to minimize the mismatch between the combinations of dynamics that occur in complex physical systems and the limited kinds of dynamics currently supported in analysis.
