CALL FOR PAPERS
Verification and validation (V&V) methods, the most notable being testing, are applied in the industry in order to automatically detect failures in software systems. Exhaustive testing of adaptive software is critical so correct functionality in an ever-changing environment can be assured. Here existing and novel V&V approaches are introduced in complex systems in order to ensure correct behaviour in every possible state during execution. Thus, the following questions arise:
- Which properties can be verified/tested at design-, configuration- and run-time?
- How can testing be automated in adaptive software systems?
- What are industrial use cases of application domains for adaptive software?
The topics relevant to this special issue include, but are
not restricted to, the following:
V&V in Adaptive Software
- Software architectures
- Test modelling and execution
- Real-time simulation
- Runtime verification and monitoring
V&V methodologies and paradigms
- Self-organizing systems and emergent behaviour
- Fail-operational systems
- AI software systems
V&V for Autonomous Driving
- Testing autonomous driving functions
- Testing for safety and security
Important dates
Submission deadline: March 01, 2020
