Abstract

Society today depends on autonomous systems, such as intelligent service systems, self-driving trains, and remote surgeries.<sup>1</sup> The ultimate validation of the Turing test is that we often do not recognize autonomous systems. This growing usage poses many challenges, such as how to provide transparency, which rules or learning patterns are applied in a complex situation, and if these rules are the right ones. Validation is the key challenge, of which we will provide an overview in this article.

Post-silicon validation opportunities, challenges and recent advances
DAC '10: Proceedings of the 47th Design Automation Conference

Post-silicon validation is used to detect and fix bugs in integrated circuits and systems after manufacture. Due to sheer design complexity, it is nearly impossible to detect and fix all bugs before manufacture. Post-silicon validation is a major ...
Validation in information systems research: a state-of-the-art assessment

Over 10 years ago, the issue of whether IS researchers were rigorously validating their quantitative, positivist instruments was raised (Straub 1989). In the years that have passed since that time, the profession has undergone many changes. Novel ...
Autonomous automobiles: developing cars that drive themselves
DAC '07: Proceedings of the 44th annual Design Automation Conference

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are killed in road accidents, with millions more injured. The vast majority of these accidents are due to human error, with less than 10% caused by vehicle defects [1]. Such staggering findings motivate the ...
