International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and Systems, Leuven, Belgien

Trustworthy, secure software is a needed core ingredient of the modern world&#046; Unfortunately, most software developed today runs on a network exposing it to a hostile environment&#046; The Internet can allow vulnerabilities in software to be exploited from anywhere in the world&#046; High&#8211;quality security building blocks (components, protocols and so forth) are necessary, but insufficient to address this&#046; Indeed, the construction of secure software is challenging because of the complexity of applications, growing security requirements, and the multitude of software technologies and attack vectors&#046; Clearly, a strong need exists for engineering techniques for secure software and systems that scale well and that demonstrably improve software’s security properties&#046; <p>The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states of the art and practice in secure software engineering&#046; The symposium explicitly aims to bridge the software engineering and security engineering communities, and promote cross&#8211;fertilization&#046; The symposium will be the first in a series of annual events&#046; The symposium will feature two days of technical programme as well as a day of tutorials&#046; The technical programme will include an experience track explicitly encouraging the submission of highly informative case studies describing (un)successful secure software project experiences and lessons learned&#046;</p>
