(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Complex systems and enterprises, such as those typical in the aerospace industry, are subject to uncertainties that may lead to suboptimal performance or even catastrophic failures if unmanaged. This work focuses on ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Traditionally, the design of a transportation system has focused on either the vehicle design or the network flow, assuming the other as given. However, to define a system level architecture for a transportation system, ...

Investigating conformance monitoring issues in air traffic control using fault detection approaches (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In order to maintain Air Traffic Control (ATC) system safety, security and efficiency, conformance monitoring must be performed to ensure that aircraft adhere to their assigned clearances. New Decision Support Tools (DSTs), ...
