Advancing the science of trustworthy autonomous systems.
CSA research is organized around five themes that define a coherent research program for
trustworthy operational AI, agentic assurance, protocol science, and Internet-equivalent validation.
Operational AI ObservabilityThe Observability Ambiguity Problem: Multi-Level Observability for Operational AI Systems
Defines the ambiguity created when observability is claimed without specifying the system,
state space, or abstraction level being observed.
Status: arXiv / Technical Paper
Operational AI EngineeringFrom Trustworthy AI to Trustworthy Operational AI: Convergence of AI Governance and Agentic Engineering
Extends trustworthy AI toward operational systems by connecting governance, runtime control,
workflow conformance, validation, and mission assurance.
Status: arXiv / Technical Paper
Agentic AI AssuranceA Crisis of Confidence: The Assurance Gap in Agentic AI
Defines the Assurance Gap between rapidly increasing AI capability and the ability to establish
hard guarantees about autonomous behavior.
Status: arXiv / Technical Paper
Agentic Protocol ScienceWho Verifies the Self-Modifier? Property Preservation in Agentic AI Systems
Introduces the property preservation problem for autonomous systems that modify software,
protocols, tests, or decision processes.
Status: arXiv / Technical Paper
Internet-Equivalent ValidationSystem-Level Observability for Agentic AI Systems: From Model Evaluation to System Assurance
Presents system-level observability using execution sequences, packet-level traces, logs,
metrics, and the Internet Emulator as an Internet-Equivalent Test and Validation Platform.
Status: arXiv / Technical Paper
