The group for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Reasoning at Chalmers University 
is looking for PhD candidates interested in conduction research in Formal 
Verification of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems (ACPS). The goal of the PhD 
project is to develop techniques for the design and verification of assured 
ACPS with a focus on runtime assurance. You will develop theory and tools for 
the construction of runtime monitors that capture under what conditions an ACPS 
is guaranteed to maintain safety. A key challenge in developing such monitors 
is to handle noisy, missing, or delayed data. Of particular interest is the 
investigation of compositional methods for constructing runtime monitors. The 
candidate will build on the latest advances in formal methods and learning 
theory, to develop methods that allow for building monitors with formal 
guarantees on their correctness and reliability.

The group for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Reasoning at Chalmers University 
is looking for candidates interested in conducting independent research in the 
area of formal analysis of autonomous cyber-physical systems (ACPS). The 
candidate will work on developing a new generation of design and verification 
techniques, rooted in formal methods, to enable and support the development of 
assured ACPS. Topics of interest are (but are not limited to): compositional 
contract-based design, specification formalism for expressing properties of 
ACPS, statistical verification, and runtime verification under uncertainty.

The goal of HYPER 2024 is to foster the exchange of ideas on topics related to 
hyperproperties between researchers from the formal methods, security, machine 
learning, and cyber-physical systems communities and to present and discuss 
recent advances in theory and applications for specifying and analyzing 
hyperproperties. The workshop will comprise invited talks and selected 
presentations. For more details and a list of invited speakers, see 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://hyperworkshop24.cispa.io/__;!!IBzWLUs!U24o0M5o6VXQFZOiUljquFFYlzIdBPJb2QI84-4lG7CVHyQc-9dIN8QyswfgI48ye_OBt03eId5WRp9lxnnj0el6s5iAOEVTsw$
