<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;
