Future Generation Computer System, Special Issue on Trusting Software Behavior, 3rd Quarter, 2011. Submission Due 15 October 2010)
Guest editor: Gyungho Lee (Korea University, Korea)
With proliferation of computing in virtually every aspect of modern
society (i.e., smart grid, robotic surgery systems, smart phones, etc),
trusting software behavior goes with much more profound side effects
beyond mere malfunctioning of the system. Trustworthiness of software behavior
that controls such critical systems and devices is an essential aspect we
need to measure, evaluate and establish. With bugs and intentional
compromises through the process of software design, development, deployment
and use, software behavior trustworthiness is shaky in terms of empirical
basis as well as in terms of theoretical basis. This special section in a
forthcoming issue of the Future Generation Computer System (FGCS) journal
is to put together the current state-of-the art in measuring, evaluating
and fostering trustworthiness for software behavior in diverse contexts of
modern and future computing environment. Original technical articles are
solicited in all aspects of Trusting Software Behavior. Topics for this
special section include, but are not limited to:
