DATE is pleased to present a special hybrid format for its 2022 event, as the situation related to COVID-19 is improving but safety measures and restrictions will remain uncertain for the upcoming months across Europe and worldwide. In transition towards a future post-pandemic event again, DATE 2022 will host a two-day live event in presence in the city of Antwerp (just north of Brussels in Belgium), to bring the community together again, followed by other activities carried out entirely online in the subsequent days. This setup combines the in-presence experience with the opportunities of on-line activities, fostering the networking and social interactions around an interesting program of selected talks and panels on emerging topics to complement the traditional DATE high-quality scientific, technical and educational activities.

Step-UP!CPS - Software methods and technologies for modular updates of Cyber-Physical Systems

 
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are systems that interact independently (highly automated or autonomous) with their environment. They perform important planning and control tasks in safety-critical applications such as automated and autonomous driving, networked production facilities or autonomous shipping. However, the conditions under which these systems perform their tasks can change throughout their life cycle. Therefore, the continuous updating, adaptation and expansion of these systems is of central importance. Future systems must be designed in such a way that improvements can be introduced promptly without the operational safety of the overall system being compromised.
The BMBF-funded project Step-Up!CPS focuses on the development of safety critical CPS to allow updates, adaptations and improvements while ensuring safe and secure operations. This includes entire product lines with a high number of variants that require updates after commissioning. By proactively determining, ideally before a critical error occurs, that updates are necessary and which system components need to be updated, critical system processes can be safeguarded. To demonstrate broad applicability, the established concepts will be prototypically implemented and tested in the automotive, maritime and industry domains.
