  The International Workshop for Autonomous System Safety (IWASS) is a joint
effort by the B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences at the University
of California Los Angeles (UCLA-GIRS) and the Norwegian University of Science
and Technology (NTNU). IWASS is an invitation-only event designed to be a
platform for cross-industrial and interdisciplinary effort and knowledge
exchange on autonomous systems' Safety, Reliability, and Security (SRS). The
workshop gathers experts from academia, regulatory agencies, and industry to
discuss challenges and potential solutions for SRS of autonomous systems from
different perspectives. It complements existing events organized around
specific types of autonomous systems (e.g., cars, ships, aviation) or
particular safety or security-related aspects of such systems (e.g., cyber
risk, software reliability, etc.). IWASS distinguishes itself from these events
by addressing these topics together and proposing solutions for SRS challenges
common to different types of autonomous systems. IWASS 2022 was held on August
28th in Dublin, Ireland, and gathered 30 participants from 20 organizations
from around the globe. In addition, a panel session at the European Safety and
Reliability Conference (ESREL 2023) discussed the workshop's main conclusions
and additional points with a larger audience. This report summarizes IWASS 2022
discussions. It provides an overview of the main points raised by a community
of experts on the current status of autonomous systems SRS. It also outlines
research directions for safer, more reliable and secure future autonomous
systems.
