Led by Davor Svetinovic
Flagship member lab
How can autonomous systems be trusted when they act across code, markets, and physical infrastructure?
Research agenda
Current programme
Research on agents that plan, act, coordinate, and alter external systems over extended periods.
Current programme
Work on assurance, privacy, security requirements, protocol trust, and resilience under adversarial conditions.
Open direction
A future space for domain-led labs that use AI agents while preserving the methods, evidence, and limits of their field.
Current programme
Research on programmable blockchains, cyber-physical systems, and emerging infrastructure that must remain dependable under attack.

Operating principles
Each member lab has its own lead, research question, repository, and public record.
Public claims point to evidence, contributors receive credit, and uncertain material stays unpublished.
Every site change passes through a preview and human review before it reaches a public REQS domain.
Papers sit alongside code, data, protocols, and careful records of methods and limits when they can be shared.
Future labs
New labs join after their scope, lead, public record, and first site pass review.
