DSS 2016 will focus on dependability and security of software and services. This is a challenging theme, especially when considering that information systems are more and more based on complex, heterogeneous, dynamic software and services, which are characterized by demanding quality attributes. Interoperability in presence of dependability and security guarantees, as well as new techniques and tools to assess the impact of accidental and malicious threats, are among the crucial aspects to be addressed.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Architecture, design, implementation, and management of dependable and secure software and services
- Dependable Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Implementation and deployment of dependable cloud-based services
- Dependable and secure big data services
- Specification and design methodologies, e.g., model-based, component-based, and refinement-based approaches
- Metrics for quantifying services dependability and security
- Dependability and security benchmarking
- Verification and validation for dependability and security evaluation of services
- Formal verification, testing, analytical and experimental evaluation of services
- Off-line versus on-line dependability and security services assessment
- Case studies illustrating challenges and solutions in designing dependable and secure software and services
- Design and use of supporting tools for creating dependable and secure services

All accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE
12th World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2016), which will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society. Selected papers will be
invited for extension and inclusion in a special issue of a related
journal.
We invite high-quality English-language
submissions of regular research papers, roadmaps, visionary papers,
experience reports, industrial/academic reflections, and tool
demos. Submissions should follow the IEEE CS proceedings style as
per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines and accepted manuscripts
must be under 4 or 8 pages (download MS Word and LaTeX templates here). At least one author of each accepted paper is
required to attend the event and present the paper.
The DSS submission site is now open!
