TestADS 2024

The TestADS’24 Workshop has been cancelled due to low number of submissions.

==

The Testing of Automated Driving Systems (TestADS) Workshop aims to bring together experts in all aspects of testing ADS software. The focus will be on presenting research papers from academia and industry, but experience reports are welcome, too. TestADS aims to form a community of software engineers with backgrounds in Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Robotics that develop practical solutions for the public.

Below is a list of topics that are relevant to the workshop:

• Methods, tools, techniques for the testing of modular or end-to-end ADS – focusing on individual components such as perception, localisation, and planning, or their interaction;
• Methods, tools, techniques for the testing of specific quality aspects (e.g., safety, usability, security) and their interaction;
• Methods, tools, techniques for on-road testing, closed facility testing, simulation-based testing, and hybrid testing approaches;
• Methods, tools, techniques for measuring the safety and other quality characteristics of ADS at levels 4 and 5;
• Development of benchmarks for safety-testing of ADS;
• Testing of ADS with teleoperation support.

The list is incomplete, and other relevant topics related to the testing of ADS are welcome.

Call for Papers

The First International Workshop on Testing of Automated Driving Systems (TestADS 2024), co-located with the 17th IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2024), aims to bring together experts in all aspects of testing ADS software. The focus will be on presenting research papers from academia and industry, but experience reports are welcome, too. TestADS aims to form a community of software engineers with backgrounds in Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Robotics that develop practical solutions for the public.

Topics and Types of Contributions

Topics include - but are not limited to:

• Methods, tools, techniques for the testing of modular or end-to-end ADS – focusing on individual components such as perception, localisation, and planning, or their interaction;
• Methods, tools, techniques for the testing of specific quality aspects (e.g., safety, usability, security) and their interaction;
• Methods, tools, techniques for on-road testing, closed facility testing, simulation-based testing, and hybrid testing approaches;
• Methods, tools, techniques for measuring the safety and other quality characteristics of ADS at levels 4 and 5;
• Development of benchmarks for safety-testing of ADS;
• Testing of ADS with teleoperation support.

We accept the following types of submissions:

• Full papers (up to 8 pages + 1 page for references only, to be included in proceedings)
• Short papers (up to 4 pages + 1 page for references only, to be included in proceedings)

Submission Format

Full and short papers must conform to the US letter two columns IEEE conference publication format and be submitted as a single PDF file. Please use the letter format template and conference option. The submission must also comply with the ACM plagiarism policy and procedures. In particular, it must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review elsewhere while under review for ICST. The submission must also comply with the IEEE Policy on Authorship.

All submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work, and their ability to generate discussions among the workshop participants. Three reviewers will review each paper following a single-blind process, and all the accepted papers will be published as part of the ICST proceedings.

Submission via EasyChair - make sure to select the correct track: TestADS

NB: There won’t be a selection choice for “Short Paper” or “Full Paper” in the submission system. We will deduce the type of paper based on the number of pages it has.
