Accuracy and reliability of a commercial treatment planning system in nontarget regions in modern prostate radiotherapy
BackgroundThe currently available treatment planning systems (TPSs) are neither designed nor intended for accurate dose calculations in nontarget regions. The aim of this work is to quantify the accuracy and reliability of nontarget doses calculated by a commercially available TPS. MethodsNontarget doses calculated by the collapsed cone (CC) (v5.2)...

Deep learning for effective and efficient reduction of large adaptation spaces in self-adaptive systems
Many software systems today face uncertain operating conditions, such as sudden changes in the availability of resources or unexpected user behavior. Without proper mitigation these uncertainties can jeopardize the system goals. Self-adaptation is a common approach to tackle such uncertainties. When the system goals may be compromised, the self-ada...
MSYNC: A Generalized Formal Design Pattern for Virtually Synchronous Multirate Cyber-physical Systems
TTA and PALS are two prominent formal design patterns-with different strengths andweaknesses-for virtually synchronous distributed cyber-physical systems (CPSs). They greatly simplify the design and verification of such systems by allowing us to design and verify their underlying synchronous designs. In this paper we introduce and verify MSYNC as a...
Molecular insight into carbon dioxide hydrate formation from saline solution
Carbon dioxide hydrate has been intensively investigated in recent years because of its potential use as gas and heat storage materials. To understand the hydrate formation mechanisms, the crystallization of CO2 hydrate from NaCl solutions was simulated at a molecular level. The influence of temperature, pressure, salt concentration and CO2 concent...

Advanced probabilistic µ-analysis techniques for AOCS validation
Monte-Carlo simulations play a key role in the current Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS) Verification and Validation (V&V) process, but it is generally time-consuming and it may fail in detecting worst-case configurations, especially in the presence of rare events. In such a case, µ-analysis offers a nice alternative, although it cannot mea...
