We are pleased to announce that the paper “Safety Monitoring for Learning-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems in Out-of-Distribution Scenarios” has been nominated for the Best Paper Award at the 16th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (ICCPS), held during CPS Week 2025 at the University of California, Irvine.
Authored by Vivian Lin, Ramneet Kaur, Yahan Yang, Souradeep Dutta, Yiannis Kantaros, Susmit Jha, Anirban Roy, Oleg Sokolsky, and Insup Lee, this work addresses a critical challenge in the deployment of autonomous systems: ensuring safety when these systems operate under conditions not seen during training. The paper introduces a novel runtime monitoring framework that provides formal safety guarantees in such out-of-distribution scenarios - an important advancement for the reliable use of learning-enabled components in safety-critical applications.
The full paper is available here.
We congratulate the authors on this well-deserved recognition and their contribution to the advancement of trustworthy cyber-physical systems.
