(We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this CFP)

Dear Colleague

We would like to invite you to submit papers to The 14th IEEE International Symposium on High Assurance Systems Engineering (HASE 2012), to be held at Omaha NE. October 25-27. HASE 2012 is a forum on tools and techniques used to design and construct systems that, in addition to meeting their functional objectives, are safe, secure, and reliable. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

SCADA systems and other critical infrastructures, cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, distributed systems, web services, embedded systems, emergent behavior, fault tolerance, simulation, monitoring, model-driven engineering, synthesis, formal methods, domain-specific languages, evolution and change, verification and validation, software analysis and visualization, tools, transformation-based development, security , as well as case studies and experiments.

 

The following types of submissions are solicited:

Research Papers
HASE 2012 is soliciting original, unpublished research papers. The length is limited to eight pages, in IEEE style. More information can be found on the HASE 2012 website: http://hase2012.ist.unomaha.edu/

Fast Abstracts
A fast abstract is a lightly reviewed, two-page technical article that requires a short talk at HASE. The goal of a fast abstract is to promote current work, research, practices, opinions, experiences, and issues related to any facet of high assurance systems. A fast abstract is early communication of technical work and does not require the completed results expected of a conference or journal publication. The length is limited to two pages, in IEEE style.

Panel Proposals
Proposals for panels are being solicited. Panels should focus on new challenges and emerging technologies related to high assurance systems, to stimulate a lively and thought provoking discussion. Controversial issues that encompass multiple viewpoints are desirable. The goal is to engage the audience with a lively debate that furthers their understanding of the topic. Panel proposals of at most two pages should be submitted by email, to rgandhi@unomaha.edu, and should include the panel title and scope, and the organizers' contact information.

The paper submission website is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hase2012
