The Techniques for Assurance Case Evidence Generation
To close the development loop of Assurance case (AC), the final task is the generation of evidence to support the claims. The techniques for evidence generation vary with different system development solutions.

Parts of Speech (POS) tagging is a text processing technique to correctly understand the meaning of a text. POS tagging is the process of assigning the correct POS marker (noun, pronoun, adverb, etc.) to each word in an input text. We discuss POS tagging using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) which are probabilistic sequence models.

The use of machine learning (ML) algorithms is becoming common in safety-critical autonomous systems (AS) such as autonomous vehicles and advanced robotic tasks. These systems are nonlinear and interact with nonlinear (dynamic) environments, resulting in stochastic outcomes. In this post, we introduce how ML is applied to such dynamic systems, more specifically for the autonomous vehicles, and a first discussion ...

GSN is the dominant notation for AC constructions. The SACM 2.0 framework enables the model-based AC process with the support of the model-based engineering platforms, and further to link the AC model with the system model automatically. We can envisage the future application in the engineering practice of SACM.

Nowadays, there has been a variety of discussions about autonomous vehicles, but most are about cars and planes, so what about ships? Compared to the automotive and aircraft industry, the world took the fully autonomous ferry a bit late. In this brief, we dive into current developments and challenges of autonomous ships.

The societal benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) — those that operate fully without a driver — have never been clearer than they are right now. The delivery of essential items, such as medical supplies and food, with limited human contact, would serve us well in the current Coronavirus climate.
