DATE Save the Date 17 to 19 April 2023

Dear DATE community,

We, the DATE Sponsors Committee (DSC) and the DATE Executive Committee (DEC), are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with all the people and families affected by the war.

Our thoughts also go out to everyone in Ukraine and Russia, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the events, and we extend our deep sympathy.

We condemn Russia’s military action in Ukraine, which violates international law. And we call on the different governments to take immediate action to protect everyone in that country, particularly including its civilian population and people affiliated with its universities.

Now more than ever, our DATE community must promote our societal values (justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility) and confront this situation collectively and peacefully to end this nonsense war.

DATE Sponsors and Executive Committees.

Kindly note that all times on the virtual conference platform are displayed in the user's time zone.

Organizers:

  • David Harel, Weizmann Institute of Science
  • Joseph Sifakis, Verimag Laboratory

Moderator:

  • David Harel, Weizmann Institute of Science

Panelists:

  • Sandeep Neema, Darpa
  • Alberto Sangiovanni, Berkeley
  • Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano
  • Simon Burton, Fraunhofer
  • Michael Paulitsch,  Intel
  • Arne Haman, Bosch

 

Topics to be discussed by the panel:

1) What is your vision for AS? For example, the role of these systems in the IoT and AI revolutions; autonomy as a step from weak to strong AI; the gap between automated and autonomous systems.

2) What challenges do you see in AS design? For example, AI-enabled end-to-end solutions; "hybrid design" approaches, integrating model- and data-driven components; systems engineering issues.

3) How should we ensure the reliability of AS? For example, achieving explainable AI; adapting and extending rigorous V&V techniques to ASs; ensuring safety based exclusively on simulation and testing.

4) Looking to the future, is the vision of total autonomy viable? how can we make it happen? For example, decisive factors for acceptance; research challenges; ethical issues; "easy" total autonomy categories.
