Second Latin-American Workshop on Safe and Secure Vehicles (SSV 2025)
The Second Latin-American Workshop on Safe and Secure Vehicles (SSV) is a forum to bring together researchers and practitioners of computing systems designed to support automotive applications. The main objective of the Workshop is to provide greater visibility to research and engineering work in the area and bring together people with academic and experimental background on the design of such systems. Such a discussion forum favors exchange between researchers, students and enthusiasts and encourages cooperation between these agents through the implementation of joint activities and sharing experiences.
Scope
Over the past two decades, vehicles have evolved into complex distributed systems on wheels. Even the most basic models now incorporate numerous Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that are interconnected through various networks. During this time, artificial intelligence has increasingly become integrated into automobiles in a variety of applications, including optimizing fuel efficiency, implementing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and the emergence of the first wave of fully autonomous vehicle prototypes. Emerging communication technologies like 5G and IEEE 802.11p are facilitating connectivity between vehicles and enabling communication with a wide array of other systems globally. In this dynamic landscape, the imperative to maintain seamless, fail-safe, secure, and efficient vehicle operations presents a formidable challenge that paves the way for continuous research and development.

Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit original research papers for presentation at the symposium. Papers can be written in English or Portuguese and must be formatted according to the IEEE two-columns conference template. Two classes of paper are accepted:
- Letter papers: original research papers with resulting PDF not exceeding 4 pages.
- WiP and Innovative ideas: extended abstract not exceeding 2 pages.
Papers must be subtmitted via the CMT submission system.
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
All accepted 4 pages papers presented at the workshop will be published at [https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php|SBC's SOL] as Proceedings of SSV 2025.

Venue
The Second Latin-American Workshop on Safe and Secure Vehicles (SSV 2025) will be collocated with the Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC 2025) in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, at the Instituto de Computação, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP).
Workshop Format
SSV 2025 will include two main sessions: Tutorials and Technical Papers.
The Tutorial Session will present two key topics:
- Software- and Hardware-in-the-Loop Frameworks for autonomous vehicle simulation
- Intelligent Acquisition and Analysis Systems for Electronic Control Units (ECUs)
The Technical Session will be divided into two parts:
- Full Paper Presentations – Featuring accepted papers in IEEE letter format.
- Short Presentations – Highlighting work-in-progress (WiP) and innovative concepts, such as early-stage research or novel ideas from master's or PhD students. This segment offers an opportunity for feedback and the exchange of new ideas. Submissions for this track should be limited to 2 pages in IEEE double-column format.
All activities are planned for a 4 hours + break window.
Registration
To attend SSV 2025, participants must be registered for SBESC. Authors of accepted papers must register in an author category for the conference they are attending.
