Technical Co-Sponsor, IEEE Reliability Society

The Fourth IEEE International Conference on Secure Software
Integration and Reliability Improvement, SSIRI 2010, is the fourth
annual conference technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Reliability
Society with a focus on software security and reliability. It brings
together a wide range of researchers and practitioners to present
their on-going ideas, experiences, and outcomes of most recent
research, and to exchange their best-of-breed practices for developing
reliable, secure, and trustworthy software systems in a more effective
and efficient way. It not only allows the academic community to gain
an increased awareness of the areas that are vital to the software
industry, but it also grants practitioners an opportunity to express
their needs. The conference will be held at the National University of
Singapore with three major tracks: research papers, fast abstracts and
the student doctoral program. Additional workshops with more focused
topics will also be held concurrently.
