ASSD 2015 - First International Workshop on Agile Secure Software Development

Most organizations use the agile software development methods, such as Scrum and XP for developing their software. Unfortunately, the agile software development methods are not well suited for the development of secure systems; they allow change of requirements, prefer frequent deliveries, use lightweight documentation, and their practices do not include security engineering activities. These characteristics limit their use for developing secure software. For instance, they do not consider conflicting security requirements that emerge in different iterations.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together security and software development researchers to share their finding, experiences, and positions about developing secure software using the agile methods. The workshop aims to encourage the use of scientific methods to investigate the challenges related to the use of the agile approach to develop secure software. It aims also to increase the communication between security researchers and software development researchers to enable the development of techniques and best practices for developing secure software using the agile methods.
Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to:
Challenges for agile development of secure Software
Processes for agile development of secure software
Incremental development of cyber-physical Systems
Secure software development training and education
Tools supporting incremental secure software development Usability of agile secure software development
Security awareness for software developers
Security metrics for agile development
Security and robustness testing in agile development
