Track Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) became the enabling technology of several applications. There is an enormous interest in adopting them to support critical tasks such as error/intrusion/anomaly detection, image classification or even object detection and trajectory planning to support autonomous driving. However, components that operate in critical systems must be assessed so that the encompassing system complies with adequate safety and security requirements before they are deployed and used in their operational environment without generating catastrophic hazards to the health of citizens, the environment, or the infrastructures. The absence of safety/security guarantees, or even a quantitative estimation of their robustness against specific events (e.g., unknown or zero-day attacks, adversarial attacks, out-of-distribution data) may be considered unacceptable by certification bodies, holding their deployment into real critical systems.

Main Topics

Unfortunately, the current maturity of research is still far from guaranteeing a safe, secure and robust operation of ML algorithms in many domains. Therefore, this track calls for contributions that aim at making a step towards a safe, secure and robust operation of ML components through (non-exhaustive list):

Paper Format

SAC (and thus S2RAI) accepts to types of submissions: regular papers and SRC Abstracts. The review process is double-blind: please prepare your paper accordingly. You can download the official Autor Kit from here.

Regular papers: the total number of pages allowed with your registration without any extra page fee is eight (8). See the SAC 2024 website registration page for additional page charges. A maximum of 10 (first 8 pages no extra fees, 2 extra pages with fees) is allowed for each regular paper. Latex Template, Word Template.

Student Research Track (SRC) Abstracts: the total number of pages allowed with your registration is four (4). No extra pages. Latex Template, Word Template. The conference provides travel grants for PhD students, check here for further information.

Note that those page limits include references.

Important Dates

Disclaimer

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper paying a full conference fee. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library.
