================================================================================
Resilience is an ability of a system to persistently deliver trustworthy 
services despite changes. Modern
software systems continuously change in response to evolving requirements, 
customer feedback, new
business needs, platform upgrades etc. Despite frequent changes software is 
expected to function
correctly and reliably especially while providing services that are critical 
to society, e.g.,  in such areas as
transportation, healthcare, energy production etc. Since modern software 
should be developed to
Efficiently cope with changes, unforeseen failures and intrusions,  design 
for resilience is becoming an
Increasingly important area of software engineering.

SERENE workshop has a long tradition of bringing together researchers and 
industry practitioners to
discuss advances in engineering resilient systems. Since 2015 SERENE has 
become a part of a major
European dependability forum –  EDCC, the European Dependable Computing 
Conference
(http://www.cse.chalmers.se/edcc2016/)

The SERENE 2016 workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners 
to exchange ideas on
advances in all areas relevant to software engineering for resilient systems, 
including, but not limited to:

Development of resilient systems
- Incremental development processes for resilient systems;
- Requirements engineering & re-engineering for resilience;
- Frameworks, patterns and software architectures for resilience;
- Engineering of self-healing autonomic systems;
- Design of trustworthy and intrusion-safe systems;
- Resilience at run-time (mechanisms, reasoning and adaptation);
- Resilience & dependability (resilience vs. robustness, dependable vs. 
adaptive systems).

Verification, validation and evaluation of resilience
  Modelling and model based analysis of resilience properties;
- Formal and semi-formal techniques for verification and validation;
- Experimental evaluations of resilient systems;    Quantitative approaches 
to ensuring resilience;
- Resilience prediction.

Case studies & applications
- Empirical studies in the domain of resilient systems;
- Methodologies adopted in industrial contexts;    Cloud computing and 
resilient service provisioning;
- Resilience for data-driven systems (e.g., big data-based adaption and 
resilience);
- Resilient cyber-physical systems and infrastructures;
- Global aspects of resilience engineering: education, training and 
cooperation.

================================================================================
Contributions

We welcome relevant contributions in the following forms:
- Technical papers describing original theoretical or practical work;
- Experience/Industry papers describing practitioner experience or field 
study, addressing an application
domain and the lessons learned;
- PhD Forum papers describing objectives, methodology, and results at an 
early stage in research;
- Project papers describing goals and results of ongoing projects;
- Tool papers presenting tools that support the development of resilient 
systems.

Submission
Papers can be submitted via EasyChair: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=serene2016
Each paper must be submitted in PDF and be formatted according to the 
Springer LNCS Guidelines:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 be no longer 
than 15 pages for
technical and experience/industry papers, and 8 pages for all others.

Submitted papers must describe novel work and not be published elsewhere. All 
papers will be
peer-reviewed and assessed for relevance to the workshop topics, technical 
soundness, innovation,
scientific and presentation quality. Accepted papers must be presented by 
(one of) the author(s).

The Proceedings of SERENE 2016 will be published as a volume in Springer 
Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS).
