This project studied emergent behavior in distributed cyber-physical systems (DCPS). Emergent behavior does not a priori appear in the descriptions of such systems. The approach undertaken is to characterize this perspective as invalid: any behavior not a prior specified by the requirements and specifications of a system is emergent. With this perspective and using formal methods, formal verification with reachability analysis and inductive invariance, as well as architectural runtime monitoring and runtime assurance, this project developed and demonstrated novel ways to specify, verify, monitor, and control behavior in DCPS, such as groups of unmanned autonomous systems (UASs).
