Revision of IEEE Std C37.238, Power Profile for IEEE-1588: Why The Big Changes?

June 15, 2018
Author(s)
Mark Adamiak, Galina Antonova, A. Apostolov, H. Kirrmann, F. Becker, J. Bougie, C. Brunner, W. Dickerson, M. Dood, D. Giarratano, R. Graf, H. Falk, C. Huntley, D. Ingram, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, K. Martin, R.J. Murphy, B. Muschlitz, M. Renz, G. Rzepka, V. Skendzic, T. Tibbals, B. Vandiver, S. Zimath
Revision and renewal of standards is normally a routine process. This paper describes why revision of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C37.238 standard was anything but routine, the reasons why a new approach was needed, and the

Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems: Volume 3, Timing Annex

September 28, 2017
Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Marc A. Weiss, YaShian Li-Baboud, Edward R. Griffor, Martin J. Burns
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) comprise interacting digital, analog, physical, and human components engineered for function through integrated physics and logic. NIST established the CPS Public Working Group (CPS PWG) to bring together a broad range of CPS

Timestamp Temporal Logic (TTL) for Time Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems

September 27, 2017
Author(s)
Mohammadreza Mehrabian, Mohammad Khayatian, Aviral Shrivastava, John Eidson, Patricia Derler, Hugo A. Andrade, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Edward Griffor, Marc A. Weiss, Kevin Stanton
In order to test the performance and verify the correctness of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the timing constraints on the system behavior must be met. Signal Temporal Logic (STL) can efficiently and succinctly capture the timing constraints on a given

Mobile Manipulator Performance Measurement Data

June 27, 2017
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, YaShian Li-Baboud, Steven Legowik, Tsai H. Hong, Sebti Foufou
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Intelligent Systems Division has collected data detailing the performance measurement of a mobile manipulator, i.e., an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with onboard robot arm from two different

A Testbed to Verify Timing Behavior of Cyber-Physical Systems

June 18, 2017
Author(s)
Aviral Shrivastava, Mohammad Khayatian, Mohammadreza Mehrabian, Hugo A. Andrade, Patricia Derler, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Edward Griffor, Marc A. Weiss, John Eidson, Kevin Stanton
Time is a foundational aspect of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Correct time and timing of system events is critical to optimized responsiveness to the environment, in terms of timeliness, accuracy and precision in the knowledge, measurement, prediction

THE USE AND CHALLENGES OF PRECISE TIME IN ELECTRIC POWER SYNCHROPHASOR SYSTEMS

January 30, 2017
Author(s)
Marc A. Weiss, Alison Silverstein, Francis Tuffner, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud
Today, the principal way that power system owners and operators use precision timing is for fault recording, protection system operation and in synchrophasor applications. Synchrophasor applications have among the most stringent precision time and time

Timing Challenges in the Smart Grid

January 19, 2017
Author(s)
YaShian Li-Baboud, Cuong T. Nguyen, Marc A. Weiss, Dhananjay Anand, Allen R. Goldstein, Jason Allnutt, Bob Noseworthy, Ravi Subramaniam
Correct time and timing is one of the foundational elements in enabling the communication and orchestration of technologies for accurate and optimal wide area monitoring, protection and control in the power industry. NIST and IEEE-SA conducted a workshop

Time in Cyber-Physical Systems

October 2, 2016
Author(s)
Marc A. Weiss, YaShian Li-Baboud, Aviral Shrivastava, Mohammad Khayatian, Patricia Derlery, Hugo A. Andrade, Sundeep Chandhoke, Kevin Stanton, John Eidson
Many modern CPS, especially industrial automation systems, require the actions of multiple computational systems to be synchronized at much higher rates than is possible through ad hoc designs. Fundamental research is needed in synchronizing clocks of

Towards a Reconfigurable Distributed Testbed to Enable Advanced Research and Development of Timing and Synchronization in Cyber-Physical Systems

December 8, 2015
Author(s)
Aviral Shrivastava, J C. Eidson, Marc A. Weiss, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Hugo Andrade, Patricia Derler, Kevin Stanton
Timing and synchronization play a key role in advanced cyber-physical systems (CPS). Precise timing, as often required in safety-critical CPS, depends on hardware support for enforcement of periodic measure, compute, and actuate cycles. For general CPS

Investigation of PMU Response to Leap Second: 2015

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Allen R. Goldstein, Dhananjay Anand, YaShian Li-Baboud
Between 22:30:00 June 30, 2015, and 00:30:00 July 2, 2015, UTC, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tested eight Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to investigate their response to the leap second adjustment to UTC which occurred

Systematic Measurement of Marginal Mark Types on Voting Ballots

July 24, 2015
Author(s)
Andrea V. Bajcsy, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Mary C. Brady
The presence of marginal marks on voting ballots is a ubiquitous problem in voting systems and it is a common source of dispute during federal and state-level elections. As of today, marginal marks are neither clearly countable as votes or as non-votes by

Automated Ranking of Stem Cell Colonies by Translating Biological Rules to Computational Models

September 20, 2014
Author(s)
Adele P. Peskin, Steven P. Lund, YaShian Li-Baboud, Michael W. Halter, Anne L. Plant, Peter Bajcsy
This paper addresses the problem of automating an image ranking process for stem cell colonies. We automate the manual process in a novel way: instead of fitting off-the-shelf image features and colony ranks to prediction models, we define a new feature
