With self driving cars imminently about to arrive in the global market questions are arising regarding the reliability of component devices and systems and their ability to deal with the threat posed by the natural background radiation

This short (2-day) workshop aims at putting together experts from academia, automotive sector, and chip designers working from transistor-level to system and application-level reliability

Our goal is to stimulate the discussion and create connections to evaluate this key reliability issue and look towards novel solutions to mitigate faults effects in automotive and other similar critical autonomous applications

	Topics Covered Natural radiation threat Basic Mechanisms Accelerators (GPU, FPGA, Edge AI, ...) Components (power transistors, sensors) Applications (neural networks, image processing, decision making) Hardening Solutions (HW/SW replicas, checkpoint, detection, transistor hardening) Standards and Measurements (ISO, FIT, beam and fault-injection, errors criticality)
Speakers Fernando Fernandes dos Santos French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) Peter Harrod Director of Functional Safety at ARM and Royal Academy Visiting Professor at Imperial College, London Saurabh Jha Research Staff Member, IBM Research Klaus McDonald-Maier Professor at the University of Essex and EPSRC National Centre for Nuclear Robotics Mihalis Psarakis Associate Professor, University of Piraeus, Greece Paolo Rech Marie Curie Fellow, DAUIN - Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy Associate Professor, INF - UFRGS, Porto Alegre, Brazil Mike Wirthlin Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Brigham Young University, USA	Christopher Frost & Carlo Cazzaniga ChipIr and NILE Irradiation Facilities ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Provisional programme: Workshop Programme 2022.pdf
	Also taking place Tour of ISIS - there will be an opportunity for in-person attendees to visit the ChipIr and new NILE neutron radiation facilities Round table - a round table will be organized to discuss possible collaborations and how to advance the knowledge on reliability for self-driving cars Workshop dinner
If you are coming in person to the meeting... The accommodation and local area Out and about - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is only a short travel time from the town of Abingdon and the historic university city of Oxford and within easy reach of some of Britain's major attractions Accommodation - we have arranged accommodation on a first come basis for the workshop at Cosener’s House the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s conference facility next to the Thames in Abingdon
