ABOUT

This Thematic Track is a well-established track within QUATIC, where researchers, developers, testers, and users from industry get together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, experiences and open challenges related to safety and security & privacy aspects of complex software systems.

Indeed, these aspects are increasingly important as more and more software is embedded into our homes, cars, trains and also, many relevant vital systems for critical infrastructures are moving towards the cloud. Developers have to consider safety, security & privacy requirements in the whole system and applications lifecycle, from design to operation and new methodologies and techniques are needed.

The authors are invited to submit research results as well as practical experiment or project reports. Industrial papers about applications or case studies are also welcomed in different domains (e.g., telemedicine, critical infrastructures, mobile networks, embedded applications, etc.). 

TOPICS

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Software safety and risk management

• Software safety regulations and standards 

• Agile development in safety-critical software systems

• Methods and tools in safety-critical software systems

• Quality metrics for safety and security 

• Security models and security policies

• Security testing and monitoring

• Cloud, IoT and Big Data security

• Attacks tolerance and resilience

• Security and risk assesment

• Distributed systems security

• SLAs for safety, security and privacy
