Challenges and New Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical System Engineering (DeCPS 2024)
14 June 2024, Barcelona, Spain
Co-located with the 28th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (AEiC 2024), June 11-14
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced an extraordinary development with a broad impact on society; however, there is still a gap between the physical world and the cyber one. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) constitute a new class of engineered systems, integrating software control, and intelligent autonomous decision making with signals from an uncertain and dynamic environment. In the context of cyber systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can contribute to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources without human intervention. CPS technology transformed the way people interact with engineered systems, in a very wide spectrum of applications: smart mobility, autonomous driving, digital healthcare, smart grids and buildings, mobile co-operating autonomous robotic systems, digital consumer products and services, etc.
For this type of systems, it is necessary not only ensuring the safety and security of physical devices but also other factors (such as information about customers, suppliers, and organizational strategies) need to be secured. To deliver certification, standards for machine safety are highly recommended as they give confidence to the regulatory. The generic standard for safety-related hardware and software might be applicable, however, due to increasing autonomy of systems there is still a potential for evolution of such regulations or standards. The proper combination of AI, CPS and IoT is therefore fundamental.
The post-workshop proceedings will be jointly published by the Ada User Journal (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj) and ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (https://dl.acm.org/newsletter/sigada).
