Critical systems are becoming more and more complex and heterogeneous,
integrating previously separated systems and including design solutions
ranging from the introduction of software Off The Shelf (OTS) to the adoption
of loosely-integrated and composable services. Innovative dependability
assessment solutions and certification processes are thus needed to deal with
such complexity, calling for new solutions for the efficient, automated, and
possibly continuous assessment and certification.

The Recent Advances in the DependabIlity AssessmeNt of Complex systEms
(RADIANCE) workshop aims to discuss novel dependability assessment approaches
for complex systems and to promote their adoption in real-world systems
through industrial and academic research. RADIANCE aims to promote and foster
discussion on novel ideas, constituting a forum where researchers can share
both real problems and innovative solutions for the assessment of complex
systems.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Assessment of integrated systems including software OTS
- Agile development in critical systems: assessment challenges and approaches
- Natural language requirements for software development
- Software assessment to cope with increasing system complexity
- Certification of complex and integrated systems
- Dynamic and evolving systems: new needs for verification, validation and certification
- Automated verification and validation of critical systems
- Model-driven approaches for the assessment of dependable and secure systems
- Experimental assessment of dependability and security
- Dependable and secure services
- Open issues, practical experiences and real-world case studies

RADIANCE is co-located with the 46th Annual IEEE/IFIP International
Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (www.dsn.org), and it will take
place in Toulouse, France, June 28, 2016.

RADIANCE is supported by the CECRIS FP7 project (CErtification of CRItical
Systems, http://www.cecris-project.eu/ ) and DEVASSES FP7 Project (DEsign,
Verification and VAlidation of large scale, dynamic Service SystEmS,
http://www.devasses.eu/ ) .
