Abstract

Autonomous systems are proliferating rapidly, with strong interest in everything from vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers, to self-driving cars and autonomous farm equipment. Can these systems be trusted to function safely? Many conventional software engineering methods for high-trust software are not well suited to assured autonomy, but concepts from combinatorial testing can add confidence.
