Safety assurance of software systems has never been as imminent a problem as it is today. Practitioners and researchers who work on the problem face a challenge unique to modern software systems: uncertainties. For one, the cyber-physical nature of modern software systems as exemplified by automated driving systems mandates environmental uncertainties to be addressed and the resulting hazards to...

Biography

Ichiro Hasuo, Ph.D. (cum laude, Radboud University Nijmegen, 2008), is a Professor at National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, Japan. He is at the same time the Research Director of the JST ERATO "Metamathematics for Systems Design'' Project, and the Director of Research Center for Mathematical Trust in Software and Systems at NII. His research field is software science and his interests include formal verification, mathematical and logical structures, category theory, integration of formal methods and testing, and application to cyber-physical systems and systems with statistical machine learning components.

Fuyuki Ishikawa, Ph.D. (The University of Tokyo, 2007), is an Associate Professor in Information Systems Architecture Science Research Division and the Director of GRACE Center, at National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, Japan. His research focuses on software engineering, especially for dependability of emerging AI and smart cyber-physical systems, including test generation, fault analysis, automated repair, and formal verification for automated driving systems. He is leading relevant initiatives of the Japanese industry such as the QA4AI guidelines for quality assurance of AI systems.
