Call for Papers | Multidisciplinary Approaches to Co-Creating Trustworthy Autonomous Systems
You are invited to submit papers for inclusion in a TAS Network workshop at this year’s International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2023).
The workshop on Multidisciplinary Approaches to Co-Creating Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (MACTAS) will bring together academics and industry practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds (including robotics, engineering, AI, computer science, social science, humanities, design, and law). Defining autonomous systems as systems involving software applications, machines, and people, which are able to take actions with little or no human supervision, the workshop will explore different definitions of TAS and individual aspects of trust from a multidisciplinary perspective. We are interested in several factors contributing to the trustworthiness of autonomous systems, which include but not limited to the following: robustness and resilience in dynamic and uncertain environments; the assurance of the design and operation of autonomous systems through verification and validation processes; the confidence the systems inspire as they evolve their functionality, their explainability, accountability, and understandability to a diverse set of users; defences against attacks on the systems, users, and the environment they are deployed in; governance and the regulation of their design and operation; and the consideration of human values and ethics in their development and use.
Trust is a multi-dimensional issue and is conceptualised differently by a range of disciplines. Hence, we invite novel contributions (short and regular papers with 2-4 and 6 pages, respectively) as well as already published journal/conference papers covering a wide set of topics that will be attractive to both technical and non-technical audiences:
- Methodologies to certify autonomous systems
- Public perception of autonomous systems
- Explainable and Interpretable AI solutions for real-world applications
- Safety and security of autonomous systems
- Trustworthy and resilient human-machine teaming
- Regulation
- Notions of trust in autonomous systems
- Responsible Research and Innovation for trustworthy AI and autonomous systems
- Transparency of AI systems
- System of humans
There will also be a £250 prize each for best TAS Paper and best TAS poster.
