RADIANCE @ DSN 2016

The second edition of the International Workshop on Recent Advances in the DependabIlity AssessmeNt of Complex systEms (RADIANCE) occurred in June 28, together with DSN 2016.
It was a successful event, attracting an average attendance of about 20 researchers while happening simultaneously with with other 3 workshops and 3 tutorials.

The workshop started with a keynote by Prof. Domenico Cotroneo on “Challenges in Engineering Dependable Self-Adaptive System”. Domenico is Professor at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI) of Federico II U. of Naples. He works in computer system design and assessment, specially in empirical system security and reliability, and software fault injection.

A second keynote was reserved for the after lunch session, featuring "A Journey towards Rigorous Cybersecurity Experiments" by Prof. Michel Cukier. Michel is the Director for Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES) and the Associate Director for Education for the Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2). His research covers dependability and security issues. His latest research focuses on the empirical quantification of cybersecurity.

The program also included the presentation of a total of 8 papers divided in 3 technical sessions: 1) Preliminary Works on Dependability and Security, featuring ongoing work; 2) Cloud and SOA Services; and 3) Analysis and Model-based techniques. The presentations showed novel techniques and fostered an interesting discussion which promoted the transfer of knowledge among the participants.

The full program of the workshop can be found here and the papers will soon be available at the IEEEXplore.
