1st Int. workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient Systems - SERENE 2008

November 17-19, 2008
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

SERENE 2008 is organized by the ERCIM working group SERENE and
is being held in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT. The SERENE 2008
workshop is an international forum for researchers and practitioners
interested in the advances in Software Engineering for Resilient Systems.
Engineering such systems is a challenging issue which needs urgent attention
from and combined efforts by people working in various domains.
Achieving this objective is a very complex task, since it implies reasoning
explicitly and in a consistent way about systems functional and non-functional
characteristics. SERENE advocates the idea that resilience should be explicitly
included into traditional software engineering theories and practices and
should become an integral part of all steps of software development.
As current software engineering practices tend to either capture only normal
behaviour, or to deal with all abnormal situations only at the late development
phases, new software engineering methods and tools need to be developed
to support explicit handling of abnormal situations through the whole software
life cycle. Moreover, every phase of the software development process needs
to be enriched with the phase-specific resilience means.
