================================================== 4th International Workshop on Engineering Safety and Security Systems June 22, 2015, Oslo, Norway Co-located with FM 2015 in Oslo, Norway, June 22-26, 2015 More information: http://pat.sce.ntu.edu.sg/esss15/ =================================================== Important dates ----------------- * March 16th, 2015: Submission deadline * April 27th, 2015: Notification of acceptance/rejection * June 22nd, 2015: Workshop date Introduction of the Workshop ----------------- The International Workshop on Engineering Safety and Security Systems (ESSS) aims at contributing to the challenge of constructing reliable and secure systems. The workshop covers areas such as formal specification, (extended) type checking, model checking, program analysis/transformation, model-based testing and model-driven software construction. The workshop will bring together researchers and industry R&D expertise together to exchange their knowledge, discuss their research findings, and explore potential collaborations. Theme of the Workshop ----------------- The main theme of the workshop is methods and techniques for constructing large reliable and secure systems. The goal of the workshop is to establish a platform for the exchange of ideas, discussion, cross-fertilization, inspiration, co-operation, and dissemination. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: -- methods, techniques and tools for system safety and security -- methods, techniques and tools for analysis, certification, and debugging of complex safety and security systems -- model-based and verification-based testing -- emerging application domains such as cloud computing and cyber-physical systems -- case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing safety and security systems Submissions guidelines ----------------- Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions should be in made via the Easychair site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esss2015. We invite two types of submissions: --Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. --Short papers (up to 6 pages) describing work in progress or less mature results. Case studies and tool papers are welcome as well. All submissions must be prepared in LATEX using the EPTCS macro package. The final versions of accepted regular and short papers will be published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Furthermore, authors of a selection of the accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their articles to a special issue of a high-quality journal, after the workshop. Publication of accepted articles requires the commitment of one of the authors to register for the workshop and present the paper.
