Confirmed Special Sessions
Topic: Dependability by reconfigurable hardware
Organiser & Chair: Michael Hübner, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany
Dependability of systems is a crucial topic for a variety of applications, especially in the domain of automotive, avionic and space. To achieve a high dependability, various methods in the system design are state of the art. However, novel architectures like reconfigurable hardware provide further methods and strategies to increase the dependability. These systems use e.g. dynamic reconfiguration, online monitoring of resources and maintenance and dynamic redundancy. This special session is focused to discuss current and future trends for the design and application of dependable systems based on reconfigurable hardware. Scientists form industry as well as from academics present their latest achievement and future steps in this domain.
Topic: Adaptive Secured Hardware and Mechatronic Security
Organiser & Chair: Wael Adi, Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany
Robust contemporary security systems require non-replaceable physical units as a security anchor. This implies in most applications that such units should be unclonable or clone-resistant. Typical applications are expected in vehicular systems which require combining mechanical and electronic units to come up with secured mechatronic units. A possible fundamental future requirement could be the need to fabricate physical units which are principally impossible to duplicate by anybody including manufacturers and users. The units should have properties similar to biological entities such plants, animals or human beings exhibiting unclonable identification attributes born implicitly such as DNA and other identification entities. In the last decade, Bio-inspired security became a serious research challenge with many suggested technologies including Physical Unclonable Functions PUFs, e-DNA ,and e-Mutation techniques. |
