ISSRE 2004 
IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on SOFTWARE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING 
November 2-5, 2004,  Saint-Malo, FRANCE 
http://www.issre.org/2004/ 
================================================================

This event includes: Technical paper tracks, Tutorials, Industry best practice presentations, Workshops, and more!

ISSRE focuses on the theory and practice of Software Reliability Engineering. The conference scope includes techniques and practices to 
(1) verify and validate software, 
(2) estimate and predict its dependability, and 
(3) make it more tolerant/robust to faults. 
Over the years, the conference has grown steadily attracting about 200 participants on a regular basis. 
The conference is big enough to represent all the key topics in software reliability engineering, but small enough to provide an in-depth representation of theory or practice in these areas.
Industry participation has also increased over time, leading to a healthy mixture of theory and practice. This year's theme is on the use of model-driven software development and its implications on software dependability. 
ISSRE 2004 will be held in Rennes (Nov. 2) and Saint-Malo (Nov. 3-5). Both towns are medieval cities. Saint-Malo is a corsair (a corsair is a kind of official "pirate," hired by the king) city located on the north coast of Brittany, close to the Mont Saint-Michel and to Rennes. 
Every street corner, every shore recalls the city's legendary past, along the innumerable walks and seafront promenades. Close to Saint-Malo, the Mont Saint-Michel is one of Brittany's best-known attractions.
