HASE 2008
11th High Assurance Systems Engineering Symposium
Call for Papers
The IEEE International Symposium on High Assurance Systems
Engineering is a forum for discussion of systems and software engineering issues
to achieve high assurance systems. The focus is on integrated approaches for
assuring reliability, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, safety,
and real-time of complex systems and the methods for assessing the assurance
levels of the systems to a high degree of confidence. Technical and experience
papers on algorithms, policies, middleware, tools, and models for high assurance
systems development, verification and validation, and assessment are
welcome.
Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers
describing original and unpublished work in all aspects of high assurance
systems engineering.
Topics of interests for the symposium include, but are
not limited to:
*Design and development of highly reliable, survivable,
secure, safe, and time-assured systems
*Integrated system reliability,
availability, security, safety, and timing analysis and evaluation methods
*Policies for reliability, safety, security, integrity, privacy, and
confidentiality of high assurance systems
*Formal specification,
specification validation, testing, and model checking for high assurance
systems
*High assurance software architecture and design
*Transformation-based and evolutionary-based system development
*Reconfigurable system design for evolving high assurance requirements
*Dynamic monitoring and adaptation for run-time assurance
*High
assurance web services
*High assurance information/knowledge systems and
data grids
*High assurance embedded systems, ubiquitous systems and sensor
networks
*Extending web service specifications for reliability, safety,
security, privacy, trust, and other QoS properties
*Assurance
techniques for service-oriented systems
CALL FOR FAST ABSTRACTS
Contributions for the Fast Abstract track of HASE 2008 are
solicited.
The fast abstracts aim to serve as a rapid and flexible mechanism
to
o Discuss industrial experiences and achievements
o Report on research
work in progress
o Introduce new ideas to the community
o State positions
on controversial issues or open problems
Works related to high assurance
systems engineering fitting the
categories described above are welcome.
Authors from industry,
government, and academia are encouraged to submit Fast
Abstracts.
Fast Abstracts will not be formally refereed. Instead, the HASE'08
Fast
Abstracts Committee will screen the submissions. The criteria
for
acceptance will be i) relevance and interest to the community and
ii)
timeliness of the material.
Submission Guidelines:
Research Papers: Original, previously unpublished papers
are
solicited. Maximum 10 pages, standard IEEE double-column
format.
Fast Abstracts: Fast Abstracts are limited to 2 pages, in
standard IEEE
double-column format. Authors of accepted Fast Abstracts will
present
a short talk approximately 10-15 min) at HASE 2008 Fast
Abstract
sessions.
Important Dates:
* June 30, 2008: Paper submission deadline
(extended)
* July 10, 2008: Fast Abstract
submission deadline
* August 1, 2008:
Acceptance/rejection notification
* August 29, 2008:
