Deep neural networks (DNNs) are crucial in autonomous driving systems (ADSs) for tasks like steering control, but model inaccuracies, biased training data, and incorrect runtime parameters can compromise their reliability. Metamorphic testing (MT) enhances reliability by generating follow-up tests from mutated DNN source inputs, identifying inconsistencies as defects. Various MT techniques for ADSs include generative/transfer models, neuron-based coverage maximization, and adaptive test selection. Despite these efforts, significant challenges remain, including the ambiguity of neuron coverage’s correlation with misbehaviour detection, a lack of focus on DNN critical pathways, inadequate use of search-based methods, and the absence of an integrated method that effectively selects sources and generates follow-ups. This paper addresses such challenges by introducing DeepDomain, a grey-box multi-objective test generation approach for DNN models. It involves adaptively selecting diverse source inputs and generating domain-oriented follow-up tests. Such follow-ups explore critical pathways, extracted by neuron contribution, with broader coverage compared to their source tests (inter-behavioural domain) and attaining high neural boundary coverage of the misbehaviour regions detected in previous follow-ups (intra-behavioural domain). An empirical evaluation of the proposed approach on three DNN models used in the Udacity self-driving car challenge, and 18 different MRs demonstrates that relying on behavioural domain adequacy is a more reliable indicator than coverage criteria for effectively guiding the testing of DNNs. Additionally, DeepDomain significantly outperforms selected baselines in misbehaviour detection by up to 94 times, fault-revealing capability by up to 79%, output diversity by 71%, corner-case detection by up to 187 times, identification of robustness subdomains of MRs by up to 33 percentage points, and naturalness by two times. The results confirm that stat

Real-time systems are widely implemented in the Internet of Things(IoT) and safety-critical systems, both of which have generated enormous social value. Aiming at the classic schedulability analysis problem in real-time systems, we proposed an exact Boolean analysis based on interference(EBAI) for schedulability analysis in real-time systems. EBAI is based on worst-case interference time(WCIT), which considers both the release jitter and blocking time of the task. We improved the efficiency of the three existing tests and provided a comprehensive summary of related research results in the field. Abundant experiments were conducted to compare EBAI with other related results. Our evaluation showed that in certain cases, the runtime gain achieved using our analysis method may exceed 73% compared to the stateof-the-art schedulability test. Furthermore, the benefits obtained from our tests grew with the number of tasks, reaching a level suitable for practical application. EBAI is oriented to the five-tuple real-time task model with stronger expression ability and possesses a low runtime overhead. These characteristics make it applicable in various real-time systems such as spacecraft, autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, and traffic command systems.

In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient augmented fully convolutional network(AugFCN) by aggregating content-and position-based object contexts for semantic ***, motivated because each deep feature map is a global, class-wise representation of the input,we first propose an augmented nonlocal interaction(AugNI) to aggregate the global content-based contexts through all feature map interactions. Compared to classical position-wise approaches, AugNI is more efficient. Moreover, to eliminate permutation equivariance and maintain translation equivariance, a learnable,relative position embedding branch is then supportably installed in AugNI to capture the global positionbased contexts. AugFCN is built on a fully convolutional network as the backbone by deploying AugNI before the segmentation head network. Experimental results on two challenging benchmarks verify that AugFCN can achieve a competitive 45.38% mIoU(standard mean intersection over union) and 81.9% mIoU on the ADE20K val set and Cityscapes test set, respectively, with little computational overhead. Additionally, the results of the joint implementation of AugNI and existing context modeling schemes show that AugFCN leads to continuous segmentation improvements in state-of-the-art context modeling. We finally achieve a top performance of 45.43% mIoU on the ADE20K val set and 83.0% mIoU on the Cityscapes test set.

This paper focuses on the finite-time control(FTC) of the composite formation consensus(CFC)problems for multi-robot systems(MRSs). The CFC problems are firstly proposed for MRSs under the complex network topology of cooperative or cooperative-competitive networks. Regarding the problems of FTC and CFC on multiple Lagrange systems(MLSs), coupled sliding variables are introduced to deal with the robustness and consistent convergence. Then, the adaptive finite-time protocols are given based on the displacement approaches. With the premised FTC, tender-tracking methods are further developed for the problems of tracking information disparity. Stability analyses of those MLSs mentioned above are clarified with Lyapunov candidates considering the coupled sliding vectors, which provide new verification for tender-tracking systems. Under the given coupled-sliding-variable-based finite-time protocols, MLSs distributively adjust the local formation error to achieve global CFC and perform uniform convergence in time-varying tracking. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted while providing practical solutions for the theoretical results.
