1st International Workshop on Software Health Management, Pasadena, Vereinigte Staaten

<div class="rtejustify" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font&#8211;size: larger;"><span style="color: black;">Software is increasingly becoming the main implementation tool for system functions, as well as systems integration&#046; This leads to increases in complexity (and costs), such that it becomes exceedingly hard to exhaustively test and verify the software, such that latent faults could remain in the deployed systems&#046; In complex heterogeneous physical systems (like spacecraft and aircraft) such situations are addressed by ‘Integrated Systems Health Management’, where the health of (sub&#8211;) systems is continuously monitored, and if anomalies are detected their source is isolated, and appropriate mitigation action is taken&#046; Software health management applies the same concept to software, but in the context of the larger, physical system&#046; </span></span></div> <div class="rtejustify" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font&#8211;size: larger;"> </span></div> <div class="rtejustify" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font&#8211;size: larger;"><span style="color: black;">The goal of the workshop is to bring together interested researchers from the community and interested ‘customers’ from the government and the industry to discuss: (1) the challenges of software health management, (2) the foundations and principles for software health management, (3) early, promising technical results in this area, (4) challenge problems from real systems, and (5) new research directions&#046; The expected outcome of the workshop is a set of short papers and presentations that outline the state of the problems, the state of the art, the challenges, and interesting new research results and directions in the area&#046; </span></span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font&#8211;size: larger;"><span style="color: black;"><br></span></span></div>
