Workshop objectives
The complexity, mission-criticality, and connectivity of the modern systems bring system trustworthiness to the front page. The required trustworthiness shall provide a sufficient assurance for the safety and security of the deployed systems. Examples of systems benefiting of, emerging, or badly needing it, are aircrafts, cars and autonomous vehicles, C2X/C2C, trains, subways, industrial IoT, traffic management systems, ships, satellites, medical devices, handheld devices.
The "MILS Workshop" focuses on bringing industry and research stakeholders together to advance methods, tools, approaches, and use-case on creating compositional assurance and trustworthiness for safety, security, and mixed-critical connected systems.
The assurance can be provided for example by architectural approaches, design properties, technologies, results of analysis, testing, formal verification, artifacts from model-based engineering, standard-based certification approaches, as well as assurance maintenance during the system life-time.
More about MILS
MILS* is a high-assurance security architecture concept based on the principles of separation and controlled information flow. The MILS approach is all about decomposition of a system design into well-understood components and their interactions with the goal to achieve composable architecture and composable assurance. The composability of architecture and assurance as well as assurance maintenance for safe and secure systems is a grand challenge. The MILS workshop targets exactly this challenge. MILS defines a secure system from trustworthy components and system architecture. The MILS framework for composable architecture is based on a separation kernel (it can have overlapping functionality with a hypervisor or a distributed hypervisor) that creates partitions to separate different security domains. Such a separation kernel often needs to support real-time because there are many use-cases in embedded systems. Assurance composition targets creating an assurance argument foccepted contributions will be assigned a DOI and will be published via the zenodo.org open access repository.r the overall system from arguments of its components and the system's security architecture.
* Historically MILS stands for "Multiple Independent Levels of Security" and today is considered as a proper noun.

Submission Guidelines
This is a workshop and we are looking for interesting experience, work, and ideas (possibly preliminary and exploratory) that will stimulate discussion and thought around MILS concepts and challenges. Submissions should clearly show industrial relevance. Submissions should be in PDF format and can be an extended abstract or a full paper. We recommend the guidelines for ACM SIG Proceedings. When the submission is accepted, you will have an opportunity to submit an updated version, which can range, depending on your choice, from 1 to (max) 12 pages.
