6th Workshop on Avionics Systems and Software Engineering
February 27, 2024, Linz, Austria
Co-located with the SE24 (February 26 - March 01, 2024)
Scientific and industrial state of the art contributions
Peer-review by an academic and industrial committee
AvioSE'24, February, 27, 2024, Linz, Austria
Software development in the aerospace domain is driven by demanding fault tolerance, increasing complexity, new application potentials, rising certification effort, and increasing cost pressure. New software development methodologies are required for future applications such as e.g. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), aircrew (workload) reduction, and further enhancement of existing functionality. At the same time, there are challenges in communication and navigation in airspace, certification for multi-core processors, artificial intelligence (AI) as well as security of software, hardware, and connectivity.

Call for Papers ( PDF )
The objective of the workshop is the presentation of methods and technologies of the avionics domain. Topics of interest, but not limited to these, are:
Development technologies (e.g. model-based systems and software engineering):
- Requirements engineering
- Modelling languages and tools
- Model-based systems and software engineering (MBSE)
- Transfer of modelling techniques to industrial application and their scalability
- Cyber-Security and Safety
- Algorithm-based sizing, layout, design, and automation of development and certification artifacts
Development methods (e.g. deployment of AI):
- Avionics-specific languages, compilers, checkers or tools
- Agile development vs. certification
- Interaction with other domains (e.g., electrical engineering, physics, psychology)
- Deployment of artificial intelligence for enhancing development processes
- Automated and/or digital engineering workflows
Quality assurance methods (e.g. model-based tests, formal methods):
- Model-based tests as well as safety and security assessment
- Verification via testing and formal methods and their scalability
- Qualification simplification methods
- Alternative certification strategies
Product technologies (e.g. applications of AI):
- Applications of AI (including verification, certification, and explainability)
- Autonomous Systems (e.g., UAS, Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS))
- Reference architectures for hard- and software and interfaces between sub-systems
- Sensors, sensor fusion and sensor management
- Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and other avionics platforms
- Human-Machine-Interface (HMI)
- Safty-critical middleware and operating systems
Vision papers
- Short vision papers on upcoming challenges, technologies or regulations
Type of submission and conditions
We welcome two kinds of contributions:
- Full Paper: The paper does not exceed 20 pages and states completed research.
- Short Paper: The paper does not exceed 10 pages and states ongoing research.
All accepted contributions will be published within the SE-workshop proceedings.
!!! Accepted contributions must be presented by one of the authors in person. One author must be registered for the workshop or full SE before the final manuscript deadline!!!
How to Contribute?
The papers must follow LNI formatting guidelines.
The papers are to be submitted using EasyChair. If you do not have an EasyChair account, you need to create a new one. The text of the abstract should not exceed 200 words.
Assessment and Selection of Submissions
The requested submissions lie in the field of expertise of the Organisation and Program Committee. They are assessed according to the following scientific criteria:
- Reasonable structure (problem statement and related work, solution, evaluation of the presented approach)
- Presentation of the unique feature of the submission w. r. t. existing solutions
- Intersubjectively comprehensible compilation
- Relevance of the presented approach
- Innovation of the submission
- Sustainability of the solution
- Appropriate citation of relevant scientific publications
- Form (language, spelling, grammar and formatting)
Program
The workshop is an all-day event. It is a mini-conference giving space to the authors of the accepted papers to present their work. Moreover, invited experts give insights on important avionics topics in keynote presentations. Last, a panel session with experts is organized for exchanging experiences and fostering the network. The workshop language is English. The program is compiled after the acceptance of contributions.
