Abstract

Autonomous Systems (e.g., self-driving vehicles) and autonomous systems network are becoming increasingly more feasible for real-world deployment with the advent of the Internet-of-Things (IoTs) and advances in sensing and machine reasoning technologies. Autonomous vehicle networks are system-of-systems and are amenable to model-based analysis and design. This paper presents a model-based approach for analyzing and designing resilient SoS subject to a variety of disruptions. The specific SoS addressed in this paper is an autonomous (i.e., self-driving) vehicle network. The approach employs deterministic and probabilistic modeling, and use-case patterns to model SoS behavior and explore mechanisms for introducing resilience into systems and SoS. Exemplar use cases for self-driving vehicles are provided to illustrate key aspects of the overall approach.
