# ISSRE 2021
For further information on the call for submissions, please see
http://2021.issre.net/Call-for-papers
The International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering
(ISSRE) is focused on innovative techniques and tools for
assessing, predicting, and improving the reliability, safety, and
security of software products. The 32nd edition of ISSRE will be
held in Wuhan, China, and will continue to emphasize scientific
methods, industrial relevance, rigorous empirical validation and
shared value of practical tools and experiences as paper selection
criteria.
The research track at ISSRE 2021 is soliciting original,
unpublished research papers in three categories: (1) full research
regular (REG) papers, (2) practical experience reports (PER), and
(3) tools and artifact (TAR) papers. Papers will be assessed with
criteria appropriate to each category. ISSRE looks for original
research exploring new scientific ideas, contributing new evidence
to established research directions, or reflecting on practical
experience.
REG papers should describe a novel contribution to reliability of
software systems. Novelty should be argued via concrete evidence
and appropriate positioning within the state of the art. REG
papers are also expected to clearly explain validation process and
its limitations.
PER are expected to provide an in-depth exposition of practical
experiences and empirical studies collected through the
application of known research tools and methods related to ISSRE
topics. PER need to identify and discuss relevant lessons learned.
The goal of PER is to offer evidence of reduced risk for future
tech transition of the same or similar technology. ISSRE strongly
encourages PERs that combine the efforts of researchers and
industry practitioners. Note that negative results are
specifically encouraged, for example, discussing where or why
current research cannot be applied in an industrially relevant
context.
TAR papers should describe a new tool or artifact. Tool-focused
TAR papers must present either a new tool, a new tool component,
or novel extensions to an existing tool. Tool-focused TAR papers
should include a description of: 1) the theoretical foundations,
2) the design and implementation concerns, such as software
architecture and core data structures, 3) experience with
realistic case studies and observed advantages over similar tools.
Making the tool publicly available is strongly encouraged to allow
continued evaluation process. Artifact-focused TAR papers should
cover 1) a working copy of a software and 2) experimental data
sets.
*****************************************************************************
# Paper Categories
Submissions can be made in one of the following categories.
* REG papers: 10 pages + 2 pages (for references alone).
* PER papers: 10 pages + 2 pages (for references alone).
* TAR papers: 6 - 10 pages (with references).
Papers that exceed the number of pages for that submission
category will be rejected without review.
*****************************************************************************
# Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and
models throughout the software development lifecycle, and are not
limited to:
* Primary dependability attributes (i.e., security, safety,
maintainability)
impacting software reliability
* Secondary dependability attributes (i.e., survivability,
resilience, robustness) impacting software reliability
* Reliability threats, i.e. faults (defects, bugs, etc.), errors,
failures
* Reliability means (fault prevention, fault removal, fault
tolerance, fault forecasting)
* Metrics, measurements and threat estimation for reliability
prediction and the interplay with safety/security
* Reliability of software services
* Reliability of open source software
* Reliability of Software as a Service (SaaS)
* Reliability of software dealing with Big Data
* Reliability of model-based and auto-generated software
* Reliability of software in artificial intelligence based
software systems
* Reliability of software within specific types of systems (e.g.,
autonomous, adaptive, green and sustainable, mobile systems)
* Reliability of software within specific technological spaces
(e.g., Internet of Things, Cloud, Semantic Web/Web 3.0,
Virtualization, Blockchain)
* Normative/regulatory/ethical spaces pertaining to software
reliability
* Societal aspects of software reliability
