Beschreibung
Von Mai bis Dezember wird online das 60. Jubiläum derInternational Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) gefeiert . Die 1960 gegründete internationale Organisation ist ein Dachverband für über 40 Informatik-Gesellschaften aus aller Welt, darunter auch die GI. Die Organisation hat über 3500 Einzelmitglieder und ermöglicht diesen Expert*innen einen fachlichen Austausch in über 100 Arbeitsgruppen.
Um das 60. Bestehen der Organisation virtuell zu feiern, finden von August bis Dezember zehn virtuelle Panels zum Thema Future of Information Processing statt. Die Eventreihe wird von Mitgliedern der IFIP organisiert und gibt Expert*innen eine Bühne, über diverse Themen wie autonomes Fahren, Ethik in der Informatik und Cybersicherheit zu sprechen. Die Veranstaltungen sind frei zugänglich und Aufzeichnungen werden im Nachgang im Netz zur Verfügung gestellt.
Das sechste Event der Reihe - Autonomous Vehicle Safety and Security: An Information Processing Imperative - findet am 18. Oktober um 15 Uhr statt (Veranstaltungsspache ist Englisch).
Worldwide, over 1.35 million people lose their lives each year to roadway traffic accidents. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to drastically reduce this carnage by leveraging breakthrough advancements in computational power, algorithms and sensing technologies. However, there is a significant hurdle: a lack of governance by national regulatory bodies to guide dependable and secure design, construction and operation of autonomous vehicles. This panel of global experts, organized by the leaders of a WG10.4 project on this subject, will discuss information processing advancements that are imperative to the realization of highly dependable and secure road vehicles. In addition to discussing technical aspects of such advancements, they will also debate related societal and ethical issues.
Participation is open to anyone and free of charge. You can register for the event here.
