Abstract:

Autonomous systems are proliferating, fueled by lower hardware costs, and rapid advances in AI/ML models that support analytics, prediction and optimization. However, these applications still exhibit brittle, and even unsafe behaviors in the face of dynamism (in underlying models, data and context), as well as through yet-unseen emergent behaviors. Unfortunately, the rush to deploy these technologies poses serious challenges for safe and predictable behavior, particularly when dealing with the inherent runtime dynamism and emergent behaviors faced by autonomous systems. This requires a fundamental change from classical “static” computing to a new paradigm that deploys computational cognitive intelligence (CCI) principles that can learn and evolve at runtime. The CCI paradigm empowers systems to be adaptable and evolvable by exploiting biologically inspired cognitive intelligence principles.  Furthermore, there is a critical need to verify system properties at runtime so that dynamic and emergent behaviors can be assessed for system safety.  In this talk I will give an overview of the CCI paradigm and outline our early efforts at runtime verification strategies for ensuring system safety.
