Cyber-physical systems combine electronics, software and mechanics. They are highly complex, and in addition to many application possibilities, raises a whole range of issues. They are dependent on error-free software, and the issue of proven quality assurance thus becomes increasingly urgent. Using the example of autonomous vehicles, a team from TU Graz’s Institute of Software Engineering together with AVL List GmbH will develop methodologies for quality assurance in such systems in the framework of the “Christian Doppler Laboratory for Quality Assurance Methodologies for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems.” The official starting shot for this currently seventh active CD lab of TU Graz sounded in the Assembly Hall of TU Graz yesterday, 3rd April 2018.
