Workshop Description
Software and system assurance is a growing concern. A look at some of
the domains involved,
including at least medical devices, automotive, railway, aeronautical,
space and telecommunications
provides a feeling on the importance of the topic. For many of these
domains, and partly because of the
increasing complexity of software, validation is an open and not
straightforward at all,
both from a technical and from a managerial point of view. Another topic
to consider is that
validation is, most usually, performed at the end the development
lifecycle, what results in
obvious calendar problems. One of the consequences is that the relevance
of lifecycle processes
such as system testing and validation must be broadened. Therefore
inputs from research
contributions and experience from industry is required in order to
enable innovative, and
often more rigorous, approaches.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to bring together industry and academy
to debate on different
approaches and methodologies to system validation. Issues to be
considered are:
* innovative approaches to validate different types of requirements:
functional, and non-functional (reliability, safety, maintainability, etc.);
* automation and tool support; validation for systems of
formerly-validated components;
* validation in the context of different lifecycle process models: e.g.
conventional and agile;
* validation and certification.
Both methodological issues and managerial (cost, organization required)
are welcome.
Contributions that put special emphasis to the usage and suitability of
advanced test languages
such as TTCN-3 or the UML profile for testing are also encouraged.
Practical aspects of validation
are welcome, though their foundation will be equally considered.
Submission details
Papers or position statements should have maximum 10 pages. Both long
and short papers will be
considered. Submissions should be made electronically, in PDF format, MS
Word or Postscript
to the organizers before
Submission deadline: Monday 27th September 2004
Notification of acceptance for participation/presentation: Monday 11th
October 2004
Papers and position statements will be reviewed and authors may be asked
to make a short
presentation during the workshop.Accepted workshop contributions will be
published through
the workshop proceedings printed in the Fraunhofer book series.
