Co-Located with the 21st IEEE International Symposium on
Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE)
http://www.issre2010.org/

November 1-4, 2010
San Jose, CA, USA

Call for Contributions

The IEEE International Symposium on High Assurance Systems Engineering is a forum for discussion of systems and
software engineering approaches to achieving high assurance systems. The focus is on integrated approaches for assuring
reliability, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, safety, and real-time performance of complex systems; and methods
for assessing assurance levels of these 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. Topics of interest 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
* Formal specification, validation, testing, and model checking for high assurance systems
* High assurance software architectures 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 information/knowledge systems and data grids
* High assurance embedded systems, ubiquitous systems, and sensor networks
* High assurance web services
* Extending web service specifications for reliability, safety, security, privacy and other QoS properties
* Case studies, experiments, and tools for high assurance systems

Research Papers:
HASE 2010 is soliciting original, unpublished research papers. The length is limited to 10 pages, in IEEE style.

Fast Abstracts:
A fast abstract is a lightly reviewed, two-page technical article that requires a short talk at HASE. The length is limited to two
pages, in IEEE style.

All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the IEEE formatting guidelines for conference papers.
All papers and fast abstracts must be submitted through the web-based submission system, in PDF format. At least one
author of each accepted research paper or fast abstract is required to pay the full registration fee to the conference. Each
accepted paper or fast abstract must be presented in person by the author or one of the authors.

Panel Proposals:
Proposals for panels are being solicited. Panel proposals should be submitted by email, to sedighs@mst.edu, and should
include the panel title and scope, and organizers’ contact information.
