ISSRE 2009

The 20th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering

November 16-19, 2009 Mysuru, India

www.issre2009.org

Dear Colleague:

ISSRE is the technology world’s leading forum on software reliability

engineering. Four days of an intensive technical program provides an

unmatched expand your skills and competencies. Meet

erent industry verticals

almost evenly distributed between Industry and Academia - a

rare accomplishment for any conference.

ISSRE is being held in India fi rst time. With the subsidies from

er of 350 free rooms to stay on their campus,

this non-profi t IEEE conference is a rare price.

Each company should consider sending a few people. The designed with parallel tracks so diff erent skill groups (such as, testing,

architecture, analysis) can concurrently

attend sessions and make the best use of their time.

In-Process Measurement

Industrial strength software development enforces numerous processes to deliver the product ontime. To improve software quality, including reliability, processes are often modified. However, it is often difficult to understand the impact of any one process change or addition on overall software reliability, since it can frequently take many months to get sufficient

feedback from the field. If software measurements made early in the lifecycle can be found to predict ultimate release quality, we can then effectively isolate the influence of specific

processes/practices and tune them appropriately to improve the resulting quality

Quality in Requirements

The goal of this workshop is to advance quality in requirements by answering some of the following questions and additional ones proposed by participants: 1. What are critical lessons

learned or problems experienced in practice?

2. What are techniques and tools that help assure complete and accurate requirements?

3. What are effective measures of the quality of requirements?

4. How do we determine the Return on Investment (ROI) of improving the quality of requirements?

Synergy in Process

Models

The objective of this workshop is to explore the landscape of Process models currently in use in the Software Industry and provide an experiential outlook as to which models are better suited for what type of software context (E.g. Service vs Product, Small / medium vs large, - Enterprise applications vs Embedded applications, generic versus Industry-specific etc.). It

also provides an outlook as to how these Process models are poised to evolve to cater to emerging Software Industry needs. This workshop is expected to bring together Process

Model experts who not only have an in-depth knowledge of various process models, but also, have learnt a number of lessons first hand.

Embeded Software

Reliability

ESR 2009

This workshop will bring together experts, providers  and users of tools and technologies for developing and evolving embedded software systems. The users include makers

of home appliances, televisions, telephones, automobiles, aircrafts, and heavy machinery as well as government organizations for space exploration and defense. The providers include software companies and experts from consulting companies, universities and other research organizations working with design and development of tools and methods for

achieving higher reliability and greater efficiency. An excellent opportunity to connect with the community and learn about new tools, methods and issues.
