Workshop scope
Embedded systems are everywhere – may they be visible or integrated into every day equipment and devices. Comfort, health, services, safety and security of people depend increasingly on them. In combination and close interaction with the (somehow unpredictable) real-world environment and humans, they become so-called “Cyber-physical Systems”, acting independently, co-operative or as “systems-of-systems” composed of interconnected autonomous systems originally independently developed to fulfil dedicated tasks (including legacy systems). The impact on society as a whole is tremendous - thus dependability (safety, reliability, availability, security, maintainability etc.) in a holistic manner becomes an important issue, including resilience, robustness, sustainability and so forth, despite emergent behaviours and interdependencies.
Demanding challenges have to be met by research, engineering and education. Smart (embedded) systems are regarded as the most important business driver for European industry. They are a targeted research area for European Research Programmes in Framework 7, in the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking, and in several dedicated Programmes and European Technology Platforms (ARTEMIS, EPoSS) or the future JTI Electronics in Horizon 2020. Their application is not only in the traditional areas of aerospace, railways, automotive, or process industry and manufacturing, but also in robotics and services of all kind, in home appliances (smart environments, smart homes, ambient assisted living) and health care.
This workshop at SAFECOMP follows already its own tradition since 2006. Sessions cover
• Dependable and resilient embedded systems,
• Autonomous Systems and Robotics,
• Systems-of-Systems,
covering aspects from design, development, verification and validation, certification, maintenance, standardization and education & training. This is a workshop, and to be distinct from the SAFECOMP conference mainstream, it allows reports on on-going work aiming at hopefully fruitful discussions and experience exchange. Reports on European or national research projects (as part of the required dissemination) as well as industrial experience reports are welcome.
Workshop proceedings will be provided as complementary booklet to the SAFECOMP Proceedings, printed by LAAS-CNRS. Papers (6-8 pages, LNCS formatting) will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.
Deadlines are:
• May 31, 2013: Full papers in Springer LNCS format as for the main conference proceedings, via
easychair DECS submission site, or by email to chairpersons
• June 15, 2013: Notification of authors
• June 30, 2013: Final camera-ready papers
The International Programme Committee is composed of selected EWICS and ERCIM members, led by the workshop organizers.
