Workshop on Security Research Challenges of Autonomous Connected Systems SRACS
Abstract
The current progress in Internet services, Internet of Things (IoT), data science and AI technologies have enabled the development and deployment of autonomous systems at large scale, such as unmanned autonomous vehicles, unmanned maritime ships, drone applications, smart transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, just to name a few. Autonomous systems are designed to adapt their behavior according to running context, operating in a dynamically changing environment. The autonomy of a system enables to carry out a series of instructions chosen between possible courses of action. Decision-making occurs after an information gathering process, which may lead to a subsequent change in system behavior. Autonomy is not absolutely achieved, and still a challenging field of research especially in environments where direct human control is not physically possible. Successful design and deployment of highly secure autonomous systems is extremely important especially in mission critical applications for which the failure will result in human lives and disasters (e.g., TBD # related navy: satellite failures, drones, robots, engines, human autonomous behavior, and ship). Achieving highly secure autonomous systems will ensure that such systems are safe, reliable, trustworthy and can meet the performance requirements of their applications and services. The research challenges are due, among others, to the following factors: Heterogeneity challenge (heterogeneous constraints), Time scale challenge, Interdependent challenge, Trustworthiness/reliability challenge, Infrastructure challenge, Regulation and culture (ethical) challenge. The goal of the workshop is to bring together multidisciplinary group(industry, academia, and government) to address these challenges and present their solutions to address them. We wish to provide a platform of exchange between academic, government and industry experts actively addressing these research challenges to present their research approaches and results. At the end of the workshop, we will provide a detailed report that summarizes the workshop and a roadmap for scientific research tasks and technology development that will overcome security challenges of autonomous systems.
