Professor Hiroshi Matsuno from the Department of Applied Information Engineering will give an invited lecture at the “14th Automotive Functional Safety Conference 2026 Online” (sponsored by Impress Co., Ltd.) to be held online from 2026/12/2 (Wed) to 4 (Fri).
Lecture title: Dependability Assurance - An Integrated Approach Using Safety Analysis/MBSE Assurance Cases -
Speaker: Matsuno Hiroshi (Professor, Department of Applied Information Engineering, Nihon University)
Lecture date: 2026/12/3 (Thursday)
Event format: online
[Lecture Outline]
Modern systems, such as autonomous driving, are open systems that constantly interact with the external environment, and as the introduction of AI progresses, it is more difficult than before to ensure their safety and reliability. In this presentation, I will show a “continuous dependability guarantee model” that consistently continues guarantees from development to operation. Next, in line with this model, we will explain the positioning and proper use of assurance cases and dependability cases (D-cases) described in FTA/FMEA, STAMP/STPA, MBSE, and GSN notation. Furthermore, an application example of an integrated approach based on a level 4 automatic
parking system is introduced, and prospects for continuous assurance in the AI era are described.For details of the program and registration, please see the event page (timetable).
