1st Workshop on Methods, Tools and Techniques for Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Design and Development
In conjunction with The 14th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2022 - 21-24 June 2022 - Sophia Antipolis, France)
TAS Syllabus Lab is organising its first Workshop on Methods, Tools and Techniques for TAS Design and Development. This workshop is organised in collaboration with Cybernetics Society, Australian National University (ANU) School of Cybernetics, Thales and University of Exeter. This workshop focuses on methods, tools, and techniques to design and develop Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS).
TAS is an emerging area of interactive systems that is expanding the scope and remit of engineering. At every scale, making autonomous systems trustworthy is a collective task that requires a multidisciplinary team to work together to understand trust design requirements and provide effective and creative solutions.
TAS engineers need robust design methods, tools, and techniques to meet diverse TAS requirements and objectives. Our prior research argued for TAS engineers to develop skills in three core areas: soft, strategic, and technical. However, little has been done to flesh out the specific methods, tools and techniques that TAS engineers should draw on.
This workshop intends to invite interactive systems experts to contribute promising design methods, tools, and techniques – particularly in the area of user/actor and design requirements modelling. The workshop aims to present cutting-edge modelling techniques, and to test these approaches through discussion, to think about main challenges, refine TAS required skills, and steer the overarching strategy in this new field for the future.
Submission Guidelines
We encourage interested participants to submit an Abstract (1-2 pages) on their experience of the development and deployment of interactive TAS. In particular, we welcome submissions from participants who would like to actively discuss their results and perspectives with the community. The authors of three accepted abstracts will each be given a 20-minute slot to give an oral presentation during the workshop.
Topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Adaptation of existing interactive systems requirements modelling methods, tools or techniques.
- Proposals of new methods, tools or techniques for requirements modelling.
- Case studies of real-world TAS requirements modelling.
- Experience reports by practitioners and researchers.
- Tools or techniques for cross-disciplinary teams, collaboration and communication.

Authors must submit their papers at the Easychair link: Interactive TAS
Committees
Organizing committee
The workshop is organised by members of the TAS Hub Syllabus Lab (https://www.tas.ac.uk/syllabus-lab/), and leading international TAS experts across academia and industry.
Dr Mohammad Naiseh (main contact) is a Research Fellow in Trustworthy Autonomous Systems at the University of Southampton within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Dr Naiseh is an expert in Explainable AI (XAI) and user-centred design.
Dr Caitlin Bentley is a Lecturer in AI-enabled Information Systems at the University of Sheffield’s Information School and is the Secretary of the UK Cybernetics Society. Her research investigates how cyber-physical systems can be designed, managed and regulated inclusively and governed democratically. Her approach draws on critical social theory, cybernetics and human geography.
Prof Sarvapali D. Ramchurn is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the Agents, Interaction, and Complexity research group where he carries out research into the design of autonomous agents and multi-agents for real-world socio-technical applications including energy systems, disaster management, and crowdsourcing. He works closely with industry and his research touches on a number of fields including Machine Learning, Data Science, and Game Theory.
Dr Elizabeth T. Williams is a Senior Lecturer at the 3A Institute (3Ai) within the School of Cybernetics at the Australian National University (ANU), Manager of the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab, and creator of the Algorithmic Futures Podcast. Her research explores how AI-enabled cyber-physical systems can be designed to scale safely, responsibly, and sustainably.
Dr Edmond Awad is a Lecturer at the at the University of Exeter Business School and the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Edmond is also an Associate Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Center for Humans and Machines. Edmond’s research interests are in the areas of Ethics of AI, Computational Social Science and Multi-agent Systems.
Mr Christophe Alix is a Senior Systems Architect (Autonomous Systems), Strategy & Innovation Manager within the Thales Technical Directorate. He is particularly interested and involved in the verification and validation challenge when it comes to (safety) mission-critical systems with autonomous functions embedding AI-powered modules.
