About this event
Autonomous systems do not operate in the abstract; they operate within an Operational Design Domain, and the quality of that domain definition shapes everything that follows. This online session focuses on UL 4600: Operational Design Domain Scenario Description Language and offers a practical space to understand how scenario description connects safety, engineering, and real-world deployment. About the Event This virtual meetup is built for people who want a clearer, more usable understanding of how scenario description language fits into the broader UL 4600 conversation. Rather than treating the topic as a purely academic standard, the event centers on how structured scenario thinking can help teams reason about what a system is designed to do, where it is expected to operate, and what ed
Who should attend
This is for people who want a more precise, useful understanding of how ODD scenario description connects to real safety and system design work. - You work on **autonomous systems, robotics, or advanced vehicle technologies** and want to better understand how operating assumptions should be described and scoped. - You are involved in **safety, assurance, validation, or testing** and need clearer ways to reason about scenarios, coverage, and system boundaries. - You sit in **systems engineering, product, or technical leadership** and want a stronger framework for aligning cross-functional teams around what a system is expected to handle. - You are a **researcher, standards participant, or technical community member** interested in how UL 4600 concepts can be interpreted and discussed in a practical way. - You have heard terms like **ODD, scenario description, or safety case** and want a session that helps connect those ideas without assuming the conversation starts from zero. - You value **meetup-style discussion and peer connection**, and you want to hear how others are approaching the same challenges from different roles and industries.
