About ISSRE'2000
The role of software is expanding rapidly in many aspects of modern life, ranging from critical infrastructures, such as transportation, defense, and telecommunication systems, to work-place automation, productivity enhancement, education, health-care, publishing, on-line services, and entertainment. Given the potentially costly impact of software failures for many of these applications, it is important to have sound methods of engineering reliable software as well as accurate methods of quantitatively certifying software reliability. ISSRE'2000 seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers from around the world to share the latest information and know-how related to all areas of software reliability engineering for a broad range of applications. The theme of the 2000 symposium will be "Applying Software Reliability".
Like previous symposia, ISSRE'2000 seeks new results concerning today's software reliability problems. But ISSRE'2000 will give preference to papers focusing on the application of theory to the practice of reliability assessment. ISSRE'2000 has adopted this theme so that: (1) researchers can better hone their efforts toward the real problems expected in the next century, and (2) industry practitioners can describe real-world problems and the needed reliability technologies.
Submissions to ISSRE'2000 should report promising new research breakthroughs or advances to existing literature. Contributions are expected to advance the state of the art or to shed light on current best practices and to stimulate interaction between (and among) researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
ISSRE'2000 and ICSM'2000 will feature an entire day -- Industry Day -- on 11 October 2000 dedicated to key companies describing how they perform software reliability engineering, maintenance, and testing. The initial list of participants follows:
