This paper examines the usefulness and comprehensibility of the MISRA C:2012 guidelines in an eye tracking study. There, subjects encounter non-compliant code in four different code review settings: with no additional reference, with an actual MISRA C guideline, with a case-specific interpretation of a MISRA C guideline, and with a compliant version of the code. The data collected was analyzed not only in terms of the four presentation styles, but also by dividing the subjects into experience levels based on their semesters of study or years of work experience. Regarding the difference between actual and interpreted guidelines, we found that for interpreted guidelines the error detection rate is higher whereas the duration and frequency of visits to the guideline itself are mainly lower. This suggest that the actual guidelines are less useful and more difficult to understand. The former is contradicted by the subjects' opinions: when surveyed, they rated the usefulness of the actual guidelines higher.}, language = {en} } @misc{ScharfenbergMottokArtmannetal., author = {Scharfenberg, Georg and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Artmann, Christina and Hobelsberger, Martin and Paric, Ivan and Großmann, Benjamin and Pohlt, Clemens and Wackerbarth, Alena and Pausch, Uli and Heidrich, Christiane and Fadanelli, Martin and Elsner, Michael and P{\"o}cher, Daniel and Pittroff, Lenz and Beer, Stefan and Br{\"u}ckl, Oliver and Haslbeck, Matthias and Sterner, Michael and Thema, Martin and Muggenthaler, Nicole and Lenck, Thorsten and G{\"o}tz, Philipp and Eckert, Fabian and Deubzer, Michael and Stingl, Armin and Simsek, Erol and Kr{\"a}mer, Stefan and Großmann, Benjamin and Schlegl, Thomas and Niedersteiner, Sascha and Berlehner, Thomas and Joblin, Mitchell and Mauerer, Wolfgang and Apel, Sven and Siegmund, Janet and Riehle, Dirk and Weber, Joachim and Palm, Christoph and Zobel, Martin and Al-Falouji, Ghassan and Prestel, Dietmar and Scharfenberg, Georg and Mandl, Roland and Deinzer, Arnulf and Halang, W. and Margraf-Stiksrud, Jutta and Sick, Bernhard and Deinzer, Renate and Scherzinger, Stefanie and Klettke, Meike and St{\"o}rl, Uta and Wiech, Katharina and Kubata, Christoph and Sindersberger, Dirk and Monkman, Gareth J. and Dollinger, Markus and Dembianny, Sven and K{\"o}lbl, Andreas and Welker, Franz and Meier, Matthias and Thumann, Philipp and Swidergal, Krzysztof and Wagner, Marcus and Haug, Sonja and Vernim, Matthias and Seidenst{\"u}cker, Barbara and Weber, Karsten and Arsan, Christian and Schone, Reinhold and M{\"u}nder, Johannes and Schroll-Decker, Irmgard and Dillinger, Andrea Elisabeth and Fuchshofer, Rudolf and Monkman, Gareth J. and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Geith, Markus A. and Koch, Fabian and {\"U}hlin, Christian and Schratzenstaller, Thomas and Saßmannshausen, Sean Patrick and Auchter, Eberhard and Kriz, Willy and Springer, Othmar and Thumann, Maria and Kusterle, Wolfgang and Obermeier, Andreas and Udalzow, Anton and Schmailzl, Anton and Hierl, Stefan and Langer, Christoph and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {Forschungsbericht 2015}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, address = {Regensburg}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, isbn = {978-3-00-048589-3}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-1386}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-13867}, language = {de} } @misc{BeimlerLeisslEbneretal., author = {Beimler, Josef and Leißl, Caroline and Ebner, Lena and Elsner, Michael and M{\"u}hlbauer, Gerhard and Kohlert, Dieter and Schubert, Martin J.

Classic automotive safety is described by the normative regulations ISO 26262, its relative ISO/PAS 21448, and their respective methodologies. In recent publications, an emerging demand to combine environmental influences, machine learning, or reasoning under uncertainty with standard-compliant analysis techniques can be noticed. Therefore, adapting established methods like FTA and proper tool support is necessary. We argue that Bayesian Networks (BNs) can be used as a central component to address and merge these demands. In this paper, we present our Open-Source Python package BayesianSafety. First, we review how BNs relate to data-driven methods, model-to-model transformations, and causal reasoning. Together with FTA and ETA, these models form the core functionality of our software. After describing currently implemented features and possibilities of combining individual modelling approaches, we provide an informal view of the tool's architecture and of the resulting software ecosystem. By comparing selected publicly available safety and reliability analysis libraries, we outline that many relevant methodologies yield specialized implementations. Finally, we show that there is a demand for a flexible, unifying analysis tool that allows researching system safety by using multi-model and multi-domain approaches.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MaierGrabingerUrlhartetal., author = {Maier, Robert and Grabinger, Lisa and Urlhart, David and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Towards Causal Model-Based Engineering in Automotive System Safety}, series = {Model-Based Safety and Assessment, 8th International Symposium, IMBSA 2022: Munich, Germany, September 5-7, 2022, Proceedings}, booktitle = {Model-Based Safety and Assessment, 8th International Symposium, IMBSA 2022: Munich, Germany, September 5-7, 2022, Proceedings}, editor = {Seguin, Christel and Zeller, Marc and Prosvirnova, Tatiana}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-15842-1_9}, pages = {116 -- 129}, abstract = {Engineering is based on the understanding of causes and effects. Thus, causality should also guide the safety assessment of complex systems such as autonomous driving cars. To ensure the safety of the intended functionality of these systems, normative regulations like ISO 21448 recommend scenario-based testing. An important task here is to identify critical scenarios, so-called edge and corner cases. Data-driven approaches to this task (e.g. based on machine learning) cannot adequately address a constantly changing operational design domain. Model-based approaches offer a remedy - they allow including different sources of knowledge (e.g. data, human experts) into safety considerations. With this paper, we outline a novel approach for ensuring automotive system safety. We propose to use structural causal models as a probabilistic modelling language to combine knowledge about an open-context environment from different sources. Based on these models, we investigate parameter configurations that are candidates for critical scenarios. In this paper, we first discuss some aspects of scenario-based testing. We then provide an informal introduction to causal models and relate their development lifecycle to the established V-model. Finally, we outline a generic workflow for using causal models to identify critical scenarios and highlight some challenges that arise in the process.}, language = {en} } @article{MaierGrabingerUrlhartetal., author = {Maier, Robert and Grabinger, Lisa and Urlhart, David and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Causal Models to Support Scenario-Based Testing of ADAS}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems}, publisher = {IEEE}, issn = {1524-9050}, doi = {10.1109/TITS.2023.3317475}, pages = {1 -- 17}, abstract = {In modern vehicles, system complexity and technical capabilities are constantly growing. As a result, manufacturers and regulators are both increasingly challenged to ensure the reliability, safety, and intended behavior of these systems. With current methodologies, it is difficult to address the various interactions between vehicle components and environmental factors. However, model-based engineering offers a solution by allowing to abstract reality and enhancing communication among engineers and stakeholders. Applying this method requires a model format that is machine-processable, human-understandable, and mathematically sound. In addition, the model format needs to support probabilistic reasoning to account for incomplete data and knowledge about a problem domain. We propose structural causal models as a suitable framework for addressing these demands. In this article, we show how to combine data from different sources into an inferable causal model for an advanced driver-assistance system. We then consider the developed causal model for scenario-based testing to illustrate how a model-based approach can improve industrial system development processes.

Often this is done by using Bayesian Networks as a framework to enable probabilistic reasoning. These models can also be used to represent causal relationships. Many publications claim to model cause-effect relations, yet rarely give a formal introduction of the implications and resulting possibilities such an approach may have. This paper aims to link the domains of causal reasoning and automotive system safety by investigating relations between causal models and approaches like FMEA, FTA, or GSN. First, the famous "Ladder of Causation" and its implications on causality are reviewed.

The study examines how a phishing awareness system influences user behavior, efficiency, and the ability to identify phishing attempts. By analyzing eye movements, the study reveals real-time interactions and oversights, providing insights into the decision-making process. Results indicate that while the system improves the efficiency of users already proficient in phishing detection, it does not universally enhance recognition rates. Notably, participants using the tool spent significantly less time looking at attachment-related phishing markers, indicating partial efficiency improvements. Since phishing attempts containing suspicious attachments were successful in 19\% of cases, as compared to an overall phishing success rate of 15\%, the phishing awareness tool is particularly useful here. A usability evaluation revealed that users reporting a higher perceived usability score profited more from the help of the tool. Additionally, no improvement in phishing detection rates was observed in users who had completed prior IT-security training, highlighting the necessity for a paradigm shift in phishing training to adequately prepare users for phishing attempts.}, language = {en} } @misc{WeberDendorferSuessetal., author = {Weber, Karsten and Dendorfer, Sebastian and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Schratzenstaller, Thomas and Haug, Sonja and Mohr, Christa and Kiesl, Hans and Drechsler, J{\"o}rg and Westner, Markus and Kobus, J{\"o}rn and Schubert, Martin J.
