Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, and are not limited to:

• Primary dependability attributes (i.e., security, safety, maintainability) impacting software reliability
• Secondary dependability attributes (i.e., survivability, resilience, robustness) impacting software reliability
• Reliability threats, i.e. faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors, failures
• Reliability means (fault prevention, fault removal, fault tolerance, fault forecasting)
• Metrics, measurements and threat estimation for reliability prediction and the interplay with safety/security
• Reliability of software services
• Reliability of open source software
• Reliability of Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Reliability of software dealing with Big Data
• Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software
• Reliability of software for systems based on artificial intelligence
• Reliability of software within specific types of systems (e.g., autonomous and adaptive, green and sustainable, mobile systems)
• Reliability of software within specific technological spaces (e.g., Internet of Things, Cloud, Semantic Web/Web 3.0, Virtualization, Blockchain)
• Normative/regulatory/ethical spaces pertaining to software reliability
• Societal aspects of software reliability
