[PVS] Workshop on Mixed Criticality: Roadmap to Evolving UAVCertification



Apologies for any duplication.
-------------------------------------

Call for Participation (early registration deadline March 31, 2009)

CPS Week 2009 Workshop on Mixed Criticality: Roadmap to Evolving UAV Certification
8:30AM to 5:00PM Thursday April 16, 2009

Hosted by the 15th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and
Applications Symposium (RTAS '09) at Cyber-Physical Systems Week 2009,
San Francisco, CA, USA

This workshop will bring together those on the cutting edge of system
development, who are encountering difficult verification and
validation (V&V) and certification challenges, with researchers who
are developing new approaches for the V&V and analysis of cyber
physical systems (CPS). The goal is to help find common ground that
could lead to affordable certification of next generation systems that
strain existing certification and V&V approaches to make the desired
new mixed criticality architecture paradigm a reality. An important
part of this session will be panel discussions that provide an
exchange of ideas among system developers, mixed criticality experts,
and the CPS research community with the hope of spawning continued
research and collaboration.
