Special Issue on Engineering Reliable Autonomous Vehicles
Journal of Autonomous Vehicles and Systems
Submit Paper
This special issue consists of top papers drawn from submissions to the inaugural International Conference on Engineering of Reliable Systems (ERAS) Conference. The conference is organized by members of different research communities, including formal verification, software engineering, and performance evaluation and benchmarking, with the goal of enabling communication and collaboration across researchers, regulators, industry, and end users in support of improving the reliability of autonomous systems.
The scope of this special issue is on all the aspects of engineering reliable autonomous systems, ranging from systems and software engineering to their verification and evaluation. For this issue, we consider everything from autonomous decision-making software running in a virtual environment to teams of autonomous robots operating in a distributed physical environment, everything from simple reactive systems to complex systems incorporating machine learning and reasoning engines. Contributions addressing reliability across the entire life cycle of the system are welcome.
Topic Areas
THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:- Development of scientific foundations for autonomy that can drive the development of reliable systems
- Reproducibility, replicability, and generalizability of autonomous systems experiments
- Defining, ensuring, and assessing system properties
- Establishing trust and understanding of autonomous system behavior
- Verification and validation of autonomy, including test and evaluation
