CARS 2013 - 2nd International Workshop on Critical Automotive applications : Robustness and Safety

The increasing complexity of automotive applications, the need to master production costs using off-the-shelf components, the coexistence of critical and non-critical applications, and the emergence of new architectural paradigms may have a strong effect on dependability of automotive embedded systems. This situation requires design and validation methods, but also tools to improve automotive systems robustness and their safety properties. The evolution of automotive systems is supported by standards (like AUTOSAR, ISO26262) that respectively advocate a software architecture but also recommend development approaches to improve system robustness and safety.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the construction of critical automotive applications and systems. It will place the emphasis on dependability issues, software engineering for robustness, security and safety issues, real time embedded systems technologies, architectural software and hardware solutions, development processes for dependable automotive embedded systems.
