                   Preliminary call for papers

Overview:
There is an increasing demand for techniques to deal with quantitative 
aspects of security  assurance at several levels of the development 
life-cycle of  systems & services, e.g., from requirements elicitation 
to run-time operation and maintenance. The aim of this workshop is to 
bring together researchers and practitioners interested in these 
research topics with a particular emphasis  techniques for service 
oriented architectures. The scope of the workshop, is intended to be 
broad, including aspects as dependability, privacy, risk and trust.


The list of topics includes, but it is not limited to:
 .    Probabilistic/stochastic model checking
 .    Quantitative information flow analysis
 .    Quantitative issues in access and usage control
 .    Security testing techniques
 .    Static/dynamic code analysis techniques
 .    Metrics for security, trust and privacy
 .    Incremental/modular security assurance analysis
 .    Process compliance assurance techniques
 .    Tool support for quantitative security assurance
 .    Simulation techniques
 .    Model-driven techniques for security, trust, risk  and privacy
 .    Assurance cases modelling and analysis
