OpenCert 20115th International Workshop on Foundations and Techniques forOPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE CERTIFICATIONMontevideo, Uruguay, 14-15 November 2011Satellite Event of SEFM 2011http://opencert.iist.unu.edu/Abstract submission deadline: 3 October, 2011 (Extended)Paper submission deadline: 3 October, 2011 (Extended)CONTEXT & OBJECTIVESOver the past decade, the Open Source Software (OSS) phenomenon has had a global impacton the way software systems and software-based services are developed, distributed anddeployed. Widely acknowledged benefits of OSS include reliability, low development andmaintenance costs, as well as rapid code turnover. Linux distributions, Apache and MySQLserve, among many other examples, as a testimony to its success and resilience.However, state-of-the-art OSS, by the very nature of its open, unconventional, distributeddevelopment model, make software quality assessment, let alone full certification,particularly hard to achieve and raises important challenges both from thetechnical/methodological and the managerial points of view.This makes the use of OSS, and, in particular, its integration within complexindustrial-strength applications, with stringent security requirements, a risk butalso an opportunity and a challenge for rigorous, mathematically based, methods insoftware analysis and engineering.In such a context, the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academiaand industry who are broadly interested in the quality assessment of open source softwareprojects, ultimately leading to the establishment of coherent certification processes,at different levels.Following the success of the four previous editions (collocated to ETAPS'07, in Braga, OSS'08,at IFIP WCC, in Milan, ETAPS'09 in York and SEFM 2010 in Pisa, respectively), the workshopwill focus on formal methods and model-based techniques that appear promising to facilitateOSS certification. Foundational, methodological and pragmatic issues will be addressed,through both standard technical communications and reports on concrete case-studies andexperimental data.CONTRIBUTIONSContributions are expected to foster a broad debate on OSS assessment and certification,integrating techniques and elements from areas as different as- product and process certification- certification standards- formal modelling and verification (model checking and theorem proving)- software quality and reverse engineering- static analysis, testing and inspection- safety, security and usability certification- languages and architectures- software evolution and reconfigurability- automated source code analyses- cloud computing- knowledge management- empirical studiesSUBMISSIONThe two-day workshop will feature invited talks, a panel discussion and contributedpaper presentations. All contributions, in the form of either full technical papers,between 10 and 16 pages, or short papers up to 5 pages, will undergo a peer-review process.All papers should be written in English and in ECEASST format.Short papers can be positions papers, tool papers or presentation of new ideas or resultswhich are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.Detailed information on the submission procedure is available at opencert.iist.unu.edu.PUBLICATIONAccepted full papers will be published in Electronic Communications of the EASST (ECEASST).Authors of short papers may resubmit a full paper version of their work after the workshop,which will be reviewed for inclusion in the ECEASST final proceedings.Selected extended papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of a reputed journalin the field. A final decision on this issue depends on the number and quality of the submissions.IMPORTANT DATES- Abstract Submission deadline: 3 October 2011- Paper Submission deadline: 3 October 2011- Acceptance notification: 20 October 2011- Final version due: 31 October 2011WORKSHOP ORGANIZATIONPROGRAM CO-CHAIRSLuis Barbosa, Dep. de Informática, Universidade do Minho, PortugalDimitrios Settas, UNU-IIST, United Nations University, Macau SAR ChinaORGANISATION CO-CHAIRSAntonio Cerone,Siraj Shaikh,PROGRAM COMMITTEELuis Barbosa, Dep. de Informática, Universidade do Minho, Portugal (Co-chair)Andrea Capiluppi, University of East London, UKFrancisco Carvalho-Junior, Univ.
