Focus Session: Autonomous Systems Dependability in the era of AI: Design Challenges in Safety, Security, Reliability and Certification

ArXi:2604.27807v1 Announce Type: new The design of embedded safety-critical systems such as those used in next-generation automotive and autonomous platforms, is increasingly challenged by escalating system complexity, hardware-software heterogeneity, and the integration of intelligent, data-driven components. Ensuring dependability in such systems requires a holistic approach that spans multiple abstraction layers and encompasses both design- and run-time assurance.
