----------------------------------------

Critical systems are becoming more and more complex and heterogeneous, integrating previously
separate 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 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:
- Software Assessment to cope with increasing System Complexity
- Assessment of integrated systems including software OTS and legacy software
- Agile development in critical systems: assessment challenges and approaches
- Natural language requirements for software design and maintenance
- 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
- Dependable and secure cloud systems and virtualized environments
- Assessment of micro-services and related applications
- Threats and methodologies for the Internet of Things
- Experimental assessment of dependability and security
- Dependable and Secure Services
- Tools and demos for the assessment of complex systems
- Open issues, practical experiences and real-world case studies
