The CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) research community has created a large number of formal analysis methods that verify different properties of CPS. Unfortunately, while the analyses are proven to be correct by themselves, their combination and verification of assumptions are mostly left to the user. However, safety critical CPS used in practice require certification that can use all of these analyses if only its integration could be as formal as the analyses themselves. In this workshop we focus on the formal integration of analysis into sound arguments able to automate the discharging of certification claims.

This workshop is not only concerned about the creation and processing of formal arguments to integrate analyses from multiple domains but also the consumption of the arguments by certification authorities.
