SERENE 2010
2nd International Workshop on
Software Engineering for Resilient Systems
15-16 April 2010, Birkbeck College, London, United Kingdom
Organized by the ERCIM working group SERENE
serene2010.uni.lu
Call for Papers
As society's dependence on complex software systems increases, so does
the need for methods and tools that ensure resilience to faults, errors and
malicious attacks. Modern open and distributed architectures are able to
adapt to harmful events. However, the engineering of systems that exploit
flexibility while remaining predictable is a challenge that demands
attention from scientists and engineers across domains. The SERENE 2010
Workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange
reports on advances in all areas relevant to this challenge, including,
but not limited to:
- Modelling of resilience properties: formal & semi-formal techniques
- Requirements, software engineering & re-engineering for resilience
- Verification and validation of resilient systems
- Resilience prediction and experimental measurement
- Error, fault and exception handling in the software life-cycle
- Frameworks, patterns and software architectures for resilience
- Resilience at run-time: metadata, mechanisms, reasoning and adaptation
- Engineering of self-healing autonomic systems
- CASE tools for developing resilient systems
We welcome relevant contributions in the following forms:
- Technical papers describing original theoretical or practical work;
advanced work-in-progress papers may also be considered.
- Experience/Industry papers describing practitioner experience or
case studies, addressing the application domain and lessons learned.
- PhD Forum papers describing objectives, methodology, and results
at an early stage in research. Special sessions will provide an
opportunity to discuss PhD work and obtain constructive advice
from experienced advisors.
- Project papers: Short papers describing goals and results of ongoing
projects related to SERENE topics are welcome.
- Tool papers: Papers presenting new tools or new versions of
the existing tools that support the development of resilient systems.
Subject to confirmation, SERENE 2010 will be held in cooperation
with ACM SIGSOFT and accepted papers will be published
in the ACM Digital Library.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission (optional) 14 December 2009
Submissions due 21 December 2009
Notification of acceptance 15 February 2010
Camera ready copy due by 12 March 2010
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Abstracts and papers are submitted via Easychair (please check
the Submission page on the SERENE 2010 website). Your paper must:
- be formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html);
- respect page limits: 10 pages for technical papers; 6 pages for all others;
- be submitted as PDF.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers,
assessed for relevance to the workshop topics, technical soundness,
innovation, scientific and presentation quality. Submission of a paper
constitutes a commitment to attend and present the paper if accepted.
SERENE SCHOOL ON RESILIENCE AND SELF-* SYSTEMS: 13-14 April 2010
Allied to the Workshop, we will hold a 2-day spring school for students and
early-career researchers on engineering aspects of resilience and self-*
systems, on 13-14 April 2010 at Birkbeck College. For further information,
please contact the School's Director, Henry Muccini ([log in to unmask]).
