1st Workshop on Dependable Software Engineering 2008

The role and usage of software in safety critical or mission critical systems is ever increasing. Examples of such systems include control systems for nuclear reactor, space, airborne, automotive, and automotive traffic systems. Software engineering of such software dependable systems has been cultivated in each domain with their specific hardware and human involvement. However, because of their similarity on the aspect of “dependability”, the software in such systems would require similarly specialized software engineering.
