Autonomy-enabled transportation networks are rapidly becoming a prominent Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) application area with tremendous potential for societal impact, as the autonomous systems technology penetrates into aerial/road vehicles and as the concept of connected vehicles emerge. The potential opportunities are not gone unnoticed. For example, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based delivery networks has already attracted innovative companies like Amazon, Google, and Matternet.

The objective of this research is to create tools to manage uncertainty in the design and certification process of safety-critical aviation systems. The research focuses on three innovative ideas to support this objective. First, probabilistic techniques will be introduced to specify system-level requirements and bound the performance of dynamical components. These will reduce the design costs associated with complex aviation systems consisting of tightly integrated components produced by many independent engineering organizations.

One of the challenges for the future cyber-physical systems is the exploration of large design spaces. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), which embody a simplified computational model of the mutation and selection mechanisms of natural evolution, are known to be effective for design optimization. However, the traditional formulations are limited to choosing values for a predetermined set of parameters within a given fixed architecture. This project explores techniques, based on the idea of hidden genes, which enable EAs to select a variable number of components, thereby expand
