Testing autonomous systems - R3-COP project meeting in Erlangen

The first meeting of the WP4.2 and WP4.3 work packages of the R3-COP ARTEMIS project was hosted by the Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in July 2010. During the meeting the partners first reviewed the goals of the work packages responsible for the V&V activities of autonomous systems, then each partner (Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, BME, Brno University of Technology, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Inst. of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Latvia, Siemens AG) presented their related, existing research results.

From BME's side dr. Majzik István presented the plans for testing the behaviour and control of individual autonomous system nodes. He first summarized the challenges of testing such systems, after that he illustrated a testing framework based on context models using ontology and graphical scenario languages.
