Advanced Technologies for Software Reliability and Safety (ATSRS)

Advanced Technologies for Software Reliability and Safety (ATSRS)
December 10 ~ 12, 2009, International Convention Center Jeju, Jeju Island, Korea

to be held in conjunction with
2009 International Conference on Advanced Software Engineering & Its Applications
(ASEA 2009)
http://www.sersc.org/ASEA2009/

During the last four decades, software reliability and safety (SRS) rersearch has provided a number of quantitative methods used in real software development processes. Since the quantitative assessment of SRS and its related topics are the main issues in this area, one needs to develop several kinds of mathematical models and techniques. As a special session of the unique and interesting event, ASEA 2009, ATSRS aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the state of the art and the new challenges in SRS, as well as providing a unique opportunity for establishing collaborations among several research groups interested in this research field.

TOPICS

This call is an invitation to all researchers and practitioners with an interest about the following topics
(but not limited to):

Experimental and measurement techniques in SRS
Modeling and analysis of SRS
Implementation of SRS assessment tool
Reports on the application of SRS technologies to real systems
Statistical prediction and estimation methods in SRS
Test strategies focused on aging-related faults
Novel applications for SRS technologies
Measurement of SRS-related metrics
Control of SRS effects
Analysis of real case studies

Important Dates

Papers due (to be received by): July 30, 2009
Notification of acceptance: August 20, 2009
