After more than fifteen years of research work in software aging and rejuvenation (SAR), this is the international event to bring together researchers and practitioners involved with the theoretical and experimental aspects of software aging and rejuvenation. As a satellite event of the premier symposium, ISSRE 2010, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the state of the art and the new challenges in software aging and rejuvenation research, as well as providing a unique opportunity for establishing collaborations among several research groups interested in this research field.
Topics of Interest

This call is an invitation to all researchers and practitioners with an interest about the following topics (but not limited to):

* Modeling and characterization of the software aging phenomenon
* Experimental and empirical software aging detection techniques
* Modeling, analysis and implementation of rejuvenation scheduling
* Design, implementation, and evaluation of rejuvenation mechanisms
* Reports on the application of software monitoring and rejuvenation to large industrial systems
* Prediction models for mean time to aging-related failures
* Test strategies focused on aging-related faults
* Novel applications for software rejuvenation
* Aging-oriented reliability growth models
* Control of software aging effects
* Analysis of real case studies
* Software aging metrics
