Abstract:
This paper considers the issue of trust in Autonomous Systems. This is a challenge as these systems are already deployed across many industrial sectors in specialised and controlled conditions with little focus on trustworthiness. When unexpected or uncontrolled situations are introduced into the environment, with a probable high level of interaction with people, the resulting potential for unexpected and/or undesirable results is significant. This paper reflects upon the Autonomic Computing (self-managing) paradigm, and the Apoptotic Computing (pre-programmed death as a safety mechanism) paradigm by presenting some of our research utilizing both, as a potential contribution to achieve Assured and Trustworthy Autonomous Systems.
