Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a comprehensive guide to current practical and theoretical understanding of verification of autonomous systems, helping users find the tools and techniques they need to address this challenging problem. Autonomous systems are transitioning out of the lab and into the commercial and industrial space in ever increasing numbers. Verification provides the assurance case necessary for deployment of autonomous systems, but we lack guidance, certifications, and standards to help a business determine whether their autonomous system is safe, secure, or reliable. A community has formed to develop tools, techniques, and processes to solve this problem, but the existing literature largely focuses on autonomy design tools and techniques rather than on tools and techniques that can be used to verify an existing autonomy design. This book fills that gap.It directly connects specific challenges faced by verification agents and autonomy developers with the research and topics most relevant to their concerns:Specific challenges faced by stakeholders and researchers are cross-referenced to chapters addressing the relevant tools and techniques.Individual aspects of the verification process like requirements and specification development, model tests, and integration tests are mapped into technical challenges related to modeling, testing, abstraction and verification tools.Each chapter is tied to both the stakeholder challenges and the technical challenges it addresses.Verification processes, industrial needs, and issues with verification of learning systems are addressed across all domains, encompassing platforms from aircraft and spacecraft to marine systems and ground vehicles operating in industrial, military, commercial and household applications.

This book is a comprehensive guide to current practical and theoretical understanding of verification of autonomous systems, helping users find the tools and techniques they need to address this challenging problem. Autonomous systems are transitioning out of the lab and into the commercial and industrial space in ever increasing numbers. Verification provides the assurance case necessary for deployment of autonomous systems, but we lack guidance, certifications, and standards to help a business determine whether their autonomous system is safe, secure, or reliable. A community has formed to develop tools, techniques, and processes to solve this problem, but the existing literature largely focuses on autonomy design tools and techniques rather than on tools and techniques that can be used to verify an existing autonomy design. This book fills that gap.
It directly connects specific challenges faced by verification agents and autonomy developers with the research and topics most relevant to their concerns:
Verification processes, industrial needs, and issues with verification of learning systems are addressed across all domains, encompassing platforms from aircraft and spacecraft to marine systems and ground vehicles operating in industrial, military, commercial and household applications. Broad in scope, this reference ties advances in formal analysis, hardware testing, verification process modifications, and design and evaluation tools to the needs of verification researchers and professionals.
Signe Redfield is the Director of the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). She has served as Co-Chair for the IEEE Technical Committees for Verification of Autonomous Systems (TC-VAS) and Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking of Robotic and Automation Systems (TC-PEBRAS). She co-authored the first IEEE RAS standard, 1872-2015, and served as Secretary for standard 1872.1-2024, “Robot Task Representation”. She was detailed to the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) as the acting lead of their Test and Assessment group in 2019, and returned to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Space Technology Division’s Robotics and Machine Learning Section where she developed assurance cases and supported the development of verification and testing tools for autonomous systems. She designed the Payload Mission Manager software component for DARPA’s Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) program, which integrates the payload fault management system with operator generated automated, supervised, and fully autonomous behavior scripts. She served as the NRL RSGS Algorithms lead from 2014-2017 and the de facto Fault Management lead from 2015-2019. Before her arrival at NRL in 2014, she spent three years in London as the ONR Global Associate Director for Autonomy and Unmanned Systems. Prior to her term at ONR Global, Dr. Redfield worked at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division in Florida where she worked on heterogeneous teams of autonomous maritime vehicles and led the development of a new architecture, enabling the simulation and testing of a variety of arbitration mechanisms to control teams of vehicles.

General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes...
**Right of withdrawal for consumers **

The revocation period is fourteen days from the day,
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods, provided that you have ordered one or more goods within the framework of a uniform order and these are or will be delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods, provided that you have ordered several goods within the framework of a single order and these are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last partial shipment or the last piece, provided that you have ordered goods that are delivered in several partial shipments or pieces;
In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (AHA-BUCH GmbH, Garlebsen 48, 37574 Einbeck, telephone number: 05563 9996039, fax number: 05563 9995974, e-mail address: service@aha-buch.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.B. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.
To comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of revocation
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract.
