Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, and are not limited to:

• Dependability attributes (i.e., security, safety, maintainability, survivability, resilience, robustness) impacting software reliability
• Reliability threats, i.e. faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors, failures
• Reliability means (fault prevention, fault removal, fault tolerance, fault forecasting)
• Software testing and formal methods
• Software fault localization, debugging, root-cause analysis
• Metrics, measurements and threat estimation for reliability prediction and the interplay with safety/security
• Reliability of autonomous systems and (self-)adaptive systems
• Reliability of AI-based systems, AI for Reliability Engineering
• Reliability of Large Language/Foundational Model (LLM) and LLM for software reliability
• Reliability of software services and Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software
• Reliability of open-source software
• Reliability of software dealing with Big Data
• Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software
• Reliability of green and sustainable systems
• Reliability of mobile systems
• Reliability of software within specific technological spaces (e.g., Internet of Things, Cloud, Semantic Web/Web 3.0, Virtualization, Blockchain, networks softwarization, 5G/6G, edge-to-cloud computing)
• Normative/regulatory/ethical spaces about software reliability
• Societal aspects of software reliability
