Model-Driven Safety Analysis of Closed-Loop Medical Systems: We studied the safety of a medical device system for the physiologic closed-loop control of drug infusion. The main contribution is the verification approach for the safety properties of closed-loop medical device systems. We demonstrated, using a case study, that the approach can be applied to a system of clinical importance.
The goal of the CPS program is to develop the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems upon which people can depend with high confidence. The program aims to foster a research community committed to advancing research and education in CPS and to transitioning CPS science and technology into engineering practice.
