WoSoCer 2018 - 8th IEEE International Workshop on Software Certification

The WoSoCer workshop is a forum to discuss novel solutions for the assessment and certification of software in critical systems, and to promote their adoption through industrial and academic research projects.
We welcome contributions related to any area of critical software systems and certification. In addition, this edition of the workshop encourages contributions on a special theme currently of high relevance: the certification of robotics software.
Topics of interest include:
Certification and assurance of systems and services
Certification of software for emerging technological trends, including dynamic, autonomic, large-scale, and distributed systems
Certification of third-party components, software reuse and open-source software across systems and services
Certification and best practices of software development processes in safety- and security-critical domains
Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of system dependability and resilience
Economics of certification and standards
Adoption of emerging technologies and best-practices in safety- and security-critical domains
Open issues, practical experiences and real-world case studies
Cross-fertilization between safety and security certification and standards
Since 2011, WoSoCer has been a satellite event of the IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE), a premier conference that emphasizes both academic excellence and industry impact.
