***********************************************

Special theme:
Certification of autonomous and
ML/AI-based systems


Co-located with the 28th IEEE Symposium on
Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2017)


The WoSoCer workshop is a forum to discuss novel solutions
for the certification of software in critical systems, by
involving researchers, senior technical people, domain
experts, and regulatory authorities to present new solutions
and perspectives.


We welcome contributions related (but not limited) to
the following topics:


- Certification and adoption of emerging technologies
and best-practices in safety- and security-critical domains


- Certification of third-party components, software reuse and
open-source software across systems and services


- Product-oriented certification and assurance cases


- Reuse of certification artifacts across different systems
and standards


- Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of system
dependability and resilience


- Compositional certification and assurance


- Formal methods in software certification


- Tools, techniques and methods to support certification processes


- Economics of certification and standards


- Open issues, practical experiences and real-world case studies


- Cross-fertilization between safety and security certification and standards


- Education and training regarding software certification


In addition to its traditional topics, this edition of
the workshop will feature the special theme of the certification
of autonomous and ML/AI (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence)
systems.


WoSoCer is a satellite event of the IEEE Intl. Symposium on Software
Reliability Engineering (ISSRE), a premier conference that emphasizes
both academic excellence and industry impact.

Accepted peer-reviewed papers will be published by the
IEEE Computer Society on IEEE Xplore.
