AVIOSE19, 19th of February 2019, Stuttgart

Software development in the aerospace domain is driven by increasing complexity, new application potentials, and rising certification effort. Future applications demand for new software development methodologies, e. g. autonomous air transport and commercial UAVs and further enhancement of existing functionality. At the same time, there are issues in communication and navigation in airspace, multi-core processors or artificial intelligence. The objective of the workshop is the exchange of new software engineering methods and tools within the avionics domain.

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:

  • Requirements engineering
  • Modelling languages and tools
  • Transfer of modelling techniques to industrial application
  • Verification via testing and formal methods
  • Security & Safety

Development methods:

  • Certification
  • Agile development
  • Interaction with other domains (e. g. physics, psychology)

Product technologies:

  • Applications of artifical intelligence (including verification)
  • Autonomous Systems

Additional challenges:

  • Reference architectures for hard- and software and interfaces between sub-systems
  • Sensors and sensor fusion
  • Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA)
  • Obsolescence (management)

Type of submission and conditions

We welcome two kinds of contributions:

All accepted contributions will be published within the SE-workshop proceedings and be available in COER-WS.

!!! Accepted contributions must be presented by one of the authors in person!!!

How to Contribute?

The papers must follow IEEE (double column) 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.

For the publication of accepted papers the organization committee requires to have the copyright for the papers. For this, at least one of the authors needs to transfer the necessary rights to the organization committee. Please use one of the prepared templates for this: docx- format is already filled with workshop und organization committee details. If the docx- Format is not possible for you, you can also use the text- Format .

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:

Program

The workshop is planned as an all-day event. The workshop language is English.
