<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Autonomous adaptive
systems increasingly function as part of our society and
interact with humans in many contexts. The development and use
of these systems raises fundamental ethical, legal, and societal
concerns, which are of vital importance to our future. Issues of
safety, fairness, explainability, and accountability must be
addressed at the different stages of design and development
taking into account different contexts of application and a wide
range of capabilities. These issues are not only of a
philosophical and legal nature, but must be addressed from the
perspective of computational architectures, software
development, and formal verification and validation, including
the development of methods and tools, consultation and training
activities, and governance and regulatory efforts.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px;
font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">The workshop on
Responsible Autonomous and Adaptable Systems (RAAS) will bring
together researchers from amongst others autonomous systems,
artificial intelligence, robotics, ethics, philosophy, robotics,
psychology, regulatory governance studies to discuss and work on
the complex challenges concerning the design and regulation of
autonomous and adaptable systems as these become part of our
daily life. In particular, RAAS are developed for societal
benefit, using verifiable and accountable processes, and which
impact is governed by fair and inclusive mechanisms and
institutions.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px;

the following topics are particularly relevant for the workshop:</p>
