ABOUT SAFECOMP
SAFECOMP was established in 1979 by the European Workshop on
Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability,
Safety and Security (EWICS TC7). Since then, it has contributed to the
progress of the state-of-the-art in dependable application of
computers in safety-related and safety-critical systems.
SAFECOMP is an annual event covering the state-of-the-art, experience
and new trends in the areas of safety, security and reliability of
critical computer applications.
SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and
experience on emerging methods, approaches and practical solutions. It
is a single track conference without parallel sessions, allowing easy
networking.

TOPICS
The conference covers all aspects related to the development,
assessment, operation and maintenance of safety-related and
safety-critical computer systems. Topics include, but are not
limited to:
* Fault-tolerant and resilient hardware and software architectures
* Fault detection and recovery mechanisms
* Distributed and real-time monitoring and control
* Security and privacy protection mechanisms for safety applications
* Safety/security risk assessment
* Model-based analysis, design, and assessment
* Formal methods for verification, validation, and fault tolerance
* Probabilistic verification and validation
* In-the-loop and model-based testing
* Validation and verification methodologies and tools
* Methods for qualification, assurance and certification
* Compositional verification and certification
* Architecture-driven assurance of safety and security
* Dependability analysis using simulation and experimental measurement
* Cyber-physical threats and vulnerability analysis
* Safety guidelines, standards and certification
* Safety and security interactions and tradeoffs
* Safety and security cases
* Multi-concern dependability assurance and standardization

Domains of application include (but are not limited to):
* Railways, automotive, space, avionics, nuclear and process industries
* Autonomous systems, advanced robotics, construction engines and
off-road vehicles
* Telecommunication and networks
* Safety-related applications of smart systems and IoT (Internet of Things, Smart Anything Everywhere)
* Critical infrastructures, smart grids, SCADA
* Medical devices and healthcare
* Defense, emergency & rescue
* Logistics, industrial automation, off-shore technology
* Education & training

2017 SPECIAL THEME:
Design, verification, and assurance of space systems.

PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS
The tradition of SAFECOMP is to act as a platform for bringing
academic research and industrial needs together. Therefore, industrial
contributions and real-world experience reports are explicitly
invited.
We solicit two types of papers:
1) regular papers (up to 14 pages),
2) practical experience reports and tool reports (up to 8 pages)
Papers exceeding the page limit will be excluded from the review
process.
All papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee
members. Papers must not have been previously published or
concurrently submitted elsewhere.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS & JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS series
(Lecture Notes on Computer Science). Submitted papers must conform to
Springer LNCS author guidelines (www.springer.com/lncs). In addition,
extended versions of the best papers will be considered for
publication in a special issue of a safety-related international
journal.

WORKSHOPS AND EXHIBITION
It is planned to have one day for workshops. Workshop proposals are
welcome. The proposals must be sent by email to the SAFECOMP17
Workshop Chair (erwin.schoitsch@ait.ac.at). They should include
planned scope and contents, Program Committee, and duration (one full
or half day). SAFECOMP Workshop Proceedings are planned if a properly
reviewing process is implemented.
A dedicated space will be available for a Technical Exhibition in the
area where coffee breaks and lunches take place. Organizations wishing
to present their products or projects are invited to request further
information from the conference secretariat.
