WoSAR 2018 - TENth International Workshop on Software Aging and Rejuvenation

This call for papers addresses all researchers and practitioners with an interest about performance and dependability degradation of software systems. Topics addressed in the workshop include but are not limited to:
Progressive degradation of performability / availability / reliability / scalability / “-ilities” in software systems.
Modeling and characterization of the software aging phenomenon.
Design and evaluation of rejuvenation techniques.
Analysis of aging-related faults/bugs, errors, and failures.
Software test strategies for detecting aging-related bugs.
Monitoring and detection of software aging effects (e.g., memory leaks, database index fragmentation, unterminated processes/threads, accrual of round-off errors, ...).
New classes of software aging effects.
Software aging and rejuvenation in Big Data and IoT Apps.
Prognostics and Health Management (PHM).
Analytical, empirical, and experimental studies of any of the above topics.
Analysis of real case studies.
Environment dependent bugs and their mitigation techniques.
Metrics for software performance and degradation.
Fault localization and testing for aging-related bugs.
Machine learning techniques for aging-related bugs.
Tools for detection and repair of memory leaks.
Analytical, empirical, and experimental studies of any of the above topics.
For all the above topics, WoSAR is a unique forum to discuss the software aging and rejuvenation impacts on systems from different domains of applicability such as: Cloud computing, Mobile, Embedded, Medical, Cyber-physical, SCADA, Smart Cities, Transportation, Telecommunication, Military, System of systems, Databases, High Performance Computing, Software Defined Networks, and others.
