This scope of this conference is to unite several communities that tackle related problems in reliable autonomous system design. These communities are often stove-piped and do not frequently interact. The scope includes not just verification, evaluation, or software engineering, but a holistic view of how we engineer reliable autonomous systems. For the purposes of this conference, “autonomous systems” is synonymous with “systems that make their own decisions and can take their own actions,” and includes everything from autonomous decision-making software running in a virtual environment to teams of autonomous robots operating in a distributed physical environment, everything from simple reactive systems with no planning capability to complex systems incorporating machine learning and reasoning engines. Contributions addressing aspects of reliability across the entire life cycle of the system are welcome.

IEEE Engineering Reliable Autonomous Systems (ERAS) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings  of this conference are likely to be indexed in  renowned databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Google Scholar, and many others.
