Australian Safety Critical Systems Conference 2024 - Disruptive Technologies
The Australian System Safety Conference (ASSC) is organised by the Australian Safety Critical Systems Association (aSCSa), a Special Interest Group of the Australian Computer Society. The theme for the 2024 conference is Disruptive Technologies. With systems growing increasingly complex and incorporating novel and disruptive technologies, we are exploring the contribution, challenges, and benefits of disruptive technologies to System Safety and Cybersecurity. As systems increasingly incorporate novel technologies (such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomous agents, cloud services, virtual/augmented reality, etc.), are current system safety processes and assurance standards appropriate?
About this event
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) systems engineering, safety assurance, human factors, cybersecurity and social engineering, security assurance, reliance, automation, collaboration, teamwork, trust, and assurance standards.
The 2024 ASSC would like to examine and share the latest thinking and state of the art techniques for:
- providing assurance of disruptive technologies; and for
- providing assurance using disruptive technologies.
The conference invites original and unpublished works that advance the state-of-the-art in safety and security considerations for the development and operation of safety and security critical systems. We are particularly interested in cross-industry and cross-pollenisation, and looking for papers in:
- Medicine and health (medical devices, e-health systems, etc.)
- Transport
- Defence and Aviation
- Telecommunications
- Energy
- Security
- Resource and process industries
- Emergency services
Delegates have the option of submitting two types of papers:
- Refereed Industry Papers by the conference program committee; or
- Industry Presentations (not subject to peer review).
Submissions
- Abstracts should be approximately 250 words.
- For delegates who optionally submit a full paper - papers should be no more than 10 pages.
- A paper template is available here.
Papers and presentations are published on the conference website.
Paper submissions can be emailed to secretary@ascsa.org.au.
