S5 2015
2015 Safe and Secure Systems and Software Symposium (S5) - Save the Date!
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Aerospace Systems Directorate, Power and Control Division will be hosting the 2015 Safe and Secure Systems and Software Symposium (S5) on 9 - 11 June 2015 at The Crowne Plaza Dayton, Ohio. Please mark your calendars!
The Safe and Secure Systems and Software Symposium focuses on bringing together academic, industry, and government parties concerned with the safety and security of highly complex or autonomous safety critical systems. The test and evaluation, verification and validation of autonomous systems has been highlighted in several government strategic documents as the limiting factor for enabling future highly complex and autonomous systems for military and civilian use. The S5 topics will directly support the V&V of Autonomy challenges identified within the DoD S&T Autonomy Community of Interest, the AFRL Autonomy S&T strategy, and the AFRL Aerospace Systems Directorate. In addition, these same challenges have been identified at a national level within the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, NASA, and many others. The symposium provides an excellent venue to present current research in the verification, validation, and certification of Autonomous systems.
