Workshop:                            Sept 8, 2015

The increasing complexity of automotive applications, the challenges posed by autonomous vehicles, the need to master production costs using off-the-shelf components, the coexistence of critical and non-critical applications, and the emergence of new architectural paradigms have a strong effect on dependability of automotive embedded systems. This situation requires design and validation methods, but also tools to improve automotive systems robustness and their safety and security properties. The fast evolution of standards such as AUTOSAR and ISO26262 is a reality to incorporate novel features, more flexibility while improving robustness, security and safety.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the construction of critical automotive applications and systems. It will place the emphasis on

dependability issues, software engineering for robustness, security and safety issues, real-time embedded systems technologies, architectural software and hardware solutions, development processes for dependable automotive embedded systems.

CARS is a forum for on-going work exchange.

In particular, CARS aims at promoting and fostering discussion on novel ideas and techniques, possibly controversial approaches, a place where researchers and developers can share both real problems and innovative solutions.

Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

1. ✓ Safety in the development processes and safety management.
   

2. ✓ Combined approaches for safety and security
   

3. ✓ Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF)
   

4. ✓ Autonomous systems, Car-to-X, ADAS and safety
   

5. ✓ Hardware and software support for dependable automotive systems.
   

6. ✓ Middleware and tool support for dependable embedded automotive systems.
   

7. ✓ Open source approaches and integration of SEooC (Safety Elements out of Context).
   

8. ✓ Real-time operating systems, WCET estimation, schedulability analysis.
   

9. ✓ Modeling and code generation techniques.
   

10. ✓ Software safety analysis and formal verification techniques for automotive systems.
    

11. ✓ Coordination, communication, networking and distributed control architectures.
    

12. ✓ Diagnosis approaches, failure data, practical experience reports of critical applications.
    

13. ✓ Validation according to ISO 26262.
    

Application areas of interest to the workshop focus on the automotive domain but methods and techniques in other transport domains (e.g. aerospace, railways) are also welcome.

To contribute to the workshop, authors are invited to submit a position paper of up to 4 pages (IEEE format) before the submission deadline.

The program committee will carefully review each position paper. The review will focus not only on the paper's quality but also on its novelty and ability to engender fruitful discussions.

All authors of accepted position papers are invited to attend the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published on the open-access eternal publication archive HAL.

Keynote Speaker: Simon FÜRST (BMW & AUTOSAR)

AUTOSAR the next generation – The Adaptive Platform

                          

Simon FÜRST studied Aerospace Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. From 1993 till 2001 he was a research assistant at the department of System Dynamics and Flight Mechanics at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich. His research area was on onboard autonomous, vision based systems for navigation and landing of airplanes and helicopters. From 2001 till 2002 he worked for IABG in Ottobrunn as a project leader and consultant for the qualification of the high risk avionics software in the tiger helicopter and the Eurofighter Typhoon. Since mid 2003 he is with BMW. There he is one of the authors of an internal software development standard for embedded software. From 2005 till March 2009 he was a member of the software group of the VDA NAA AA-I3 AK16 and a software expert in ISO TC22 SC3 WG16 working on ISO 26262, the functional safety standard for the automotive domain. In 2006, Fürst became BMW Project Leader for AUTOSAR. In 2008 he switched to the AUTOSAR Steering Committee. From July 2009 till March 2010 he was AUTOSAR Spokesperson. Currently he is General Manager for software development and software infrastructure and AUTOSAR Spokesperson for a 2nd time till end March 2016.

CARS will be held at Tower 26, 1st floor, corridor 26-25, room 105 (see instructions)
