                CALL FOR PAPERS

                 WoSoCer 2016

    The 6th International IEEE Workshop on
            Software Certification

      October 23-27, 2016, Ottawa, Canada

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


                 Special theme:
    Certification of Safety and Security of
                Medical Devices


  Co-located with the 27th IEEE Symposium on
 Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2016)



The WoSoCer workshop series is a forum for discussing novel
solutions for the assessment and certification of software
in critical systems, and for promoting their adoption through
industrial and academic research projects.

In addition to the traditional topics on the certification of
safety-critical systems, this edition of the workshop will emphasize
the certification of medical devices, where software is
highly interconnected and new regulations are addressing
the consequent safety and security challenges. Contributions on this
theme are especially welcome.

The topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):

- 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

Accepted peer-reviewed papers will be included in a supplemental
volume of the ISSRE conference proceedings, and published by the
IEEE Computer Society on IEEE Xplore.
