Abstract: The International Workshop for Autonomous System Safety (IWASS) is a joint effort by the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA-GIRS), the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering of the University of Stuttgart.
IWASS is an invitation-only event, designed to be a platform for cross-industrial and interdisciplinary effort and knowledge exchange on autonomous systems’ Safety, Reliability, and Security (SRS). The workshop gathers experts from academia, regulatory agencies, and industry to identify and propose solutions for common challenges related to SRS of autonomous systems. It complements existing events organized around specific types of autonomous systems (e.g., cars, ships, aviation) or the safety or security-related aspects of such systems (e.g., cyber risk, software reliability).
IWASS envisions a future where autonomous systems enrich human life while upholding the highest safety, reliability, and security standards. IWASS 2023 took place on September 2nd and 3rd in Southampton, United Kingdom, and gathered 39 participants from 30 organizations from around the globe. In addition, a panel session at the European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2023) discussed the workshop's main conclusions and additional points with a larger audience. This report summarizes IWASS 2023 discussions. It provides an overview of the main points raised by a community of experts on the status of autonomous systems SRS. It also outlines research directions for safer, more reliable, and secure autonomous systems of the future.
