CLOSED Call for Papers - Special Issue on Computing for Autonomy: Latency, Power, Resilience
Submission deadline: CLOSED
Publication: March 2021
Autonomous systems are coming into use in a wide range of domains, from vehicles to manufacturing. The characteristics of computing workloads for autonomy are much more complex than those exhibited by traditional sampled-data control systems. Autonomy workloads exhibit wide variations in computing load, timing, and power/thermal behavior. These systems must be designed for resilient operation in the face of inaccuracies of the machine-learning subsystems as well as traditional hardware and software fault models and design flaws.
This special issue will explore the computational challenges presented by the new generation of autonomous systems. Submissions are welcome in all aspects of computing for autonomy. Topics of interest include:
Timing analysis for event-oriented autonomous perception
Distributed architectures for autonomous systems
Planning, control, and computation
Resilience and fault tolerance
Approaches to cross-check and manage limited accuracy in perceptual and machine-learning components
System design examples
Computation in human-in-the-loop + autonomy systems
