The International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) is the leading symposium for the dissemination of state-of-the-art software reliability research and its practice as software reliability engineering. The 13th ISSRE will be held in Annapolis, Maryland.

As we move past the first wave of the internet and e-commerce based systems and applications, the concerns about the reliability and security of these business/mission critical systems are beginning to surface. Being held in the Washington DC area in close proximity to the US government agencies, it is only appropriate that we pick reliability and security of business/mission critical systems as our theme for ISSRE 2002. We hope to bring a good mixture of theory and practices to highlight the problems and potential solutions in this vital area of the information technology. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Network system reliability
• Internet reliability engineering
• Quality of network service
• Electronic commerce
• Practice of reliability modeling
• Reliability measurement
• Software testing and verification
• Software reliability models
• Fault-tolerant and robust software
• Software architecture reliability
• Analysis and prevention of virus attacks
• Secure software engineering
• Security testing and certification
• Reliability of distributed systems
• Standards and regulation
• Dependable web-services

Submission information:
We solicit regular papers, tutorial proposals, panel proposals, industry experience reports, fast abstracts and student papers. Limited number of student travel awards are available.

Sponsors:
IEEE Reliability Society and IEEE Computer Society, the Committee on Software Reliability Engineering of Technical Council on Software Engineering

Important Dates: Past the submission deadline
