The 1st International Workshop on Resiliency for Autonomous Systems Across the Computing Continuum (RASACC 2026)

CALL FOR PAPER

June 22, 2026
Charlotte, USA

Co-located with the 56th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2026)

https://rasacc-dsn.github.io/rasacc26

Paper submission deadline: (EXTENDED) April 6, 2026 (AoE)

The RASACC workshop aims to connect researchers and practitioners to explore resiliency in autonomous systems across computing continuum ecosystems. Emphasis is on system-level dependability, resilience, and intrusion tolerance amid intrinsic autonomy, distribution, heterogeneity, and collaboration. Cross-disciplinary contributions from dependability engineering, distributed systems, security, and AI-enabled systems are encouraged, including real-world case studies.


Topics of Interest:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Cross-Layer Resilience:
- Dependability challenges in cloud-edge-fog-IoT environments
- Emergent failures due to resource contention, interference, and overload
- Effects of mobility, heterogeneity, and partial connectivity on system behavior
- Cross-layer failure across hardware, network, middleware, and applications
- Orchestration and adaptation mechanisms influencing emergent behavior

Security and Intrusion Tolerance:
- Cyber attacks, intrusions, and coordinated adversarial behavior
- Byzantine faults and malicious behavior in autonomous and collaborative ecosystems
- Intrusion-tolerant architectures, protocols, and coordination mechanisms
- Trust management, fault attribution, and accountability under partial compromise
- Security failures and resilience strategies
- Risk Assessment of DLT Solutions

Runtime and Adaptive Resilience:
- Runtime monitoring and detection of failures in autonomous systems
- Online risk assessment and mitigation techniques
- Self-adaptive, self-healing, and self-protecting systems
- Runtime verification and assurance for autonomous and distributed environments
- Dependability-aware learning and adaptation mechanisms

Collaborative systems:
- Dependability of multi-agent systems and autonomous entities
- Coordination, consensus, and agreement under faults, uncertainty, and partial observability
- Human-autonomy interaction and emergent behaviors in mixed human-machine teams
- Shared autonomy and collaborative decision-making in dynamic environments
- Fault containment and isolation in collaborative and distributed autonomous systems


Submission Guidelines

Paper types:
- Regular Papers present original, unpublished research with substantial new results and must be 8 pages total (including references)
- Extended Abstracts foster discussion on recent or ongoing work, summarizing novel insights from a published paper or presenting preliminary results from ongoing research and must be 2 pages total (including references)

General Information:
