ASD Autonomous Systems Design (ASD): A Two-Day Special Initiative
Two-Day Special Initiative
Fueled by the progress of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems become more and more integral parts of many Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications, such as automated driving, robotics, avionics and industrial automation. Autonomous systems are self-governed and self-adaptive systems that are designed to operate in an open and evolving environment that has not been completely defined at design time. This poses a unique challenge to the design and verification of dependable autonomous systems. The DATE Special Initiative on Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) on Thursday and Friday will include high-profile keynotes and panel discussions, as well as peer-reviewed papers, invited contributions and interactive sessions addressing these challenges.
The Thursday of the DATE Special Initiative on Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) will start with an opening session where industry leaders from Airbus, Porsche and Robert Bosch will talk about their visions of autonomous systems, the challenges they see in the development of autonomous systems as well as how autonomous systems will impact the business in their industries. These input will be discussed in an open floor panel with eminent speakers from academia. After the opening session, three sessions will present peer-reviewed papers on "Reliable Autonomous Systems: Dealing with Failure & Anomalies", "Safety Assurance of Autonomous Vehicles" and "Designing Autonomous Systems: Experiences, Technology and Processes". Furthermore, a special session will discuss latest research on "Predictable Perception for Autonomous Systems".
The Friday Interactive Day of the DATE Special Initiative on Autonomous Systems Design (ASD) features keynotes from industry leaders as well as interactive discussions initiated by short presentations on several hot topics. Presentations from General Motors and BMW on predictable perception, as well as a session on dynamic risk assessment will fuel the discussion on how to maximize safety in a technically feasible manner. Speakers from TTTech and APEX.AI will present insights into Motionwise and ROS2 as platforms for automated vehicles. Further sessions will highlight topics such as explainable machine learning, self-adaptation for robustness and self-awareness for autonomy, as well as cybersecurity for connected vehicles.
