Conference Key Theme

Theme: Managing safety in an era of a software defined computing continuum

Future societal and industrial systems will be increasingly relying on a digitalized infrastructure, from embedded systems, fog/edge
computing systems, to cloud and communications. Entire systems will also increasingly be software defined and upgradeable. Societal and industrial systems consequently be increasingly relying on such digitalized infrastructures, requiring an even stronger and proactive emphasis on key dependability properties, as emphasized by the SafeComp conferences. The theme for SafeComp 2025 has been chosen to highlight some of the following topics and challenges:

➜ Predictability and reliability of cloud and edge computing, and AI components: The corresponding systems yet have to offer dependability  properties suitable for critical systems
➜ Architectures ensuring safety while enhancing performance
➜ Co-design of applications and digital infrastructure to achieve cost-efficient dependability
➜ Trustworthy DevOps – reconciling software and safety practices
