The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) portfolio of programs had a goal of compressing the development timelines for new complex cyber-physical systems by at least five-fold. With AVM, DARPA pursued the development of several elements of enabling infrastructure aimed at radically transforming the systems engineering / design / verification (META), manufacturing (iFAB), and collaborative innovation (VehicleFORGE) elements of the overall "make" process for modern defense systems. Each of these infrastructure capabilities was largely gen
Wireless networks are increasingly used in networked control systems. An important challenge is to provide delay guarantees for every packet in the system. In this work, we propose a framework for real-time wireless networks. The core of this framework is an analytical model that jointly considers several practical concerns that include the strict delay bound for each packet, the throughput requirement of each client, and the unreliable nature of wireless transmissions.
