CALL FOR PAPERS

***************************************************************************** 2nd International Workshop on Risk Assessment and Risk-driven Testing (RISK) *****************************************************************************

http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/en/fokus_events/sqc/risk_2014/

In conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE)

Workshop Motivation ******************** The continuous rise of software complexity with increased functionality and accessibility of software and electronic components leads to an ever-growing demand for techniques to ensure software quality, dependability and security. The risks that software systems do not meet their intended level of quality can have severe impact on vendors, customers and even - when it comes to critical systems and infrastructures - our daily life. The precise understanding of risks, as well as the focused treatment of risks, has become one of the corner stones for critical decision within complex social and technical environments. Even nowadays software testing is based on risk-driven decisions However, classical test approaches address risks rather implicitly than systematically. Systems, functions, or modules, which are known to be critical, are tested more intensively than others. The basis of such kind of test planning is often a very simple and unstructured risk assessment, which usually is performed during or in the preparation of the test process. However, we know that humans are great in planning technical environments and processes, but often fail when it comes to the intuitive estimation of related risk. This workshop addresses systematic approaches that combine risk assessment and testing. We are interested in innovative techniques, tools and methods from industry or research, that cover systematic risk assessment, whether to obtain risk-optimized test configurations and specifications, to underpin risk analyzes by means of experimental data from test results, or to enable domain-specific solutions that address specific kinds of risk (e.g. safety risks, security risks, business risks, legal risks).

Workshop Objectives ******************* The objective of the workshop is to bring together industry and science by providing a platform for discussion, interaction and collaboration. Industrial papers should either describe challenges of system or software testing that could trigger future research activities or present comparable results of applying techniques for risk analysis or risk-based testing. Research papers are expected to present promising ideas or possible solutions to industrial challenges in the field of risk-based quality assurance. Submitted papers should cover at least one of the following topics: * Languages for capturing risk information * Formal and semi-formal risk analysis techniques (e.g., FTA, FMEA, etc.) * Continuous risk assessment and testing * Risk-based/risk-oriented testing (including formal verification techniques) * Test-based risk assessment * Best practices/methodologies for integrating risk analysis and testing * Support of standard-compliant quality assurance by risk-based testing (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262, Common Criteria) * Verification and validation of safety-/security-critical systems * Risk-based testing with model-based technologies * Risk-based test automation and tool support * Quality and quality improvement of risk-based test models * Limitations and restrictions of integrated risk analysis and testing, its costs and economic impact * Traceability and management of integrated risk analysis and testing * Experience reports and industrial case studies * Legal risk management * Risk assessment to support regulatory compliance * Intended Paper Format

Paper Format ************* All contributions to RISK have to be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair. All submissions have to follow the ISSRE format, i.e. IEEE style. We are soliciting two kinds of submissions: * Long paper (6 pages): This format will be used for papers on original research results in the domain of risk assessment and risk-driven testing.. * Short paper (3 pages): This format will be used for papers on novel techniques, ideas and positions that have yet to be fully developed. Submissions have to be submitted via EasyChair.

All submitted papers which conform to the intended paper format will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers.

Proceedings ************* The RISK 2014 proceedings are going to be published in the ISSRE 2014 supplemental proceedings and accessible via IEEE Xplore.
