IWASS will hold a special session and a panel at eSREL 2025

We look forward to your participation!

ESREL is the key annual event for meetings and knowledge exchange in the area of risk assessment, risk management, and optimization of the performance of socio-technological systems in Europe, and among the most important internationally.

Join us at the Stavanger 2025 conference where we will bring the European Safety and Reliability (ESREL) and Society for Risk Analysis Europe (SRA-E ) conferences together under one roof at the University of Stavanger, Norway.

Panel Session: Safety, Reliability, and Security(SRS) of Autonomous Systems

Autonomous systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in many sectors, including transportation, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing. With their growing prevalence come significant challenges in ensuring these systems operate safely, reliably, and securely (SRS), especially when interacting with dynamic and uncertain environments. The risks associated with malfunction, system vulnerabilities, and unintended behavior make it imperative to focus on methods and technologies that can guarantee the robustness, trustworthiness, and ethical operation of such systems. As such the International Workshop for Autonomous System Safety (IWASS) was created to facilitate discussions and knowledge exchange across industries and regions. It has since been collocated with ESREL three times with support from ESRA (Dublin 2022, Southampton 2023, Krakow 2024). In 2025 we expanded upon our participants from North America, so the workshop will be co-located with RAMS in January.

To continue our good relationship with ESRA and ESREL, key experts will be invited to discuss autonomous systems SRS from an interdisciplinary and cross-industrial perspective. The panel is expected to present the results from IWASS discussions and make them more accessible to a broader audience. Participants may present additional thoughts on the discussions and workshop outcomes.
