The International Workshop for Autonomous System Safety (IWASS) is a joint effort by
the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA-GIRS),
the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering of the University of Stuttgart.

IWASS is an invitation-only event, designed to be a platform for cross-industrial and interdisciplinary effort and knowledge exchange on autonomous systems’ Safety, Reliability, and Security (SRS). The workshop gathers experts from academia, regulatory agencies, and industry to identify and propose solutions for common challenges related to SRS of autonomous systems. It complements existing events organized around specific types of autonomous systems (e.g., cars, ships, aviation) or the safety or security-related aspects of such systems (e.g., cyber risk, software reliability).

IWASS envisions a future where autonomous systems enrich human life while upholding the highest safety, reliability, and security standards. Please contact us if you are interested in participating in our events and stay tunned for future publications and workshops.
