Background

Unprecedented development and implementation of information technologies and systems (ITSs) into business, research, industry and transport including critical domains (aerospace, railway, automotive systems, NPP I&Cs, health systems and IT-infrastructures, etc) cause increasing dependence of humanity, environment and technical complexes security and safety on ITS reliability and dependability. There is conflicting philosophy of specialists on mathematical theory of reliability (MTR) and engineers who must assess and assure reliability and derivative ITS attributes. First of them usually consider MTR as a part of probability theory and not enough taking into account challenges of engineering practice. IT-engineers are concerned with assurance of required reliability for developed software and systems according to project specifications and standards. For some of modern ITs are not established assessment techniques, in particular, software components and systems reliability, dependability of cloud computing, IoT applications and software defined networks, so on.

Hence, building of effective bridge between the mathematical reliability, including widely applied Markovian chain-based methods (MMs) and the engineering practice of their application considering ITS features is very important. We invite researchers, engineers and experts to discuss problems of development, adaptation and application of modern MTR and MMs for assessment of ITs and creation of dependable and resilient ITSs.

The 2nd WS TheRMIT focuses on:

  • modern ITSs and IT-infrastructures as a object of reliability (and dependability, availability, safety, integrity, trustworthiness) regulation, modeling, assessment, assurance and certification;
  • application of software tools for ITS reliability analysis and assessment, decision supporting/making on development of reliable (dependable, safe and high available) ITSs.

Key domains are safety, mission and business critical ITSs.

Topics of interest

The main topics and questions for discussion on the WS agenda include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Problems of reliability theory and Markov’s models in context of ITS development: What are modern challenges, new approaches and business related issues?
  • Taxonomies of reliability, dependability and resilience, safety and cybersecurity: Which are interconnection and borders of the theories for IT-components, systems and infrastructures?
  • Balancing of performance, reliability, power consumption and security for ITS: How to develop scalable and optimal solutions?
  • Software reliability and dependability of software systems: How do probabilistic and deterministic methods correspond to business-oriented technologies?
  • Availability and resilience of large-scale distributed computing and communication. Web-, cloud-, IoT-based systems: how the problems of evolvability complexity and uncertainty can be taken into account?
  • A diversity principle for multi-version SW- and FPGA-based system reliability and safety: How risk of common cause failures can be assessed and decreased?
  • Markovian chain-based techniques and tools (T&T) for assessing of high availability IT-systems: What about accuracy, stability and T&T selection for complex and high available ITS?

The proposed topic of WS panel discussion: Selecting and joint application of techniques and software tools for assessment of industrial ITS safety and security

This publication qualifies as an international publication with the German ISBN. This proceedings volume will be published electronically and indexed by DBLP, Scopus and Google Scholar.

The papers accepted for the WS TheRMIT 2016 may be invited for publication in the Special Issue of the journal «Radiolectronics and Computer Systems» http://www.khai.edu/uk/site/radioelektronni-i-komp.html.

Submissions should be made electronically in pdf or doc/docx format. Authors should use the TheRMIT electronic submission system athttps://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icteri2016 and submit their papers to the WS Track TheRMIT 2016. Those authors who do not have their personal account at EasyChair have to create it using Easychair before submitting their paper.

The best TheRMIT 2016 papers after their presentation and discussion at the workshop may be invited to be published in their refined and extended versions in the Post-proceedings of ICTERI 2016 to be published in the Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS, http://www.springer.com/series/7899, pending acceptance). Only the papers written in English will be considered as the candidates for the post-proceedings. Refined and extended versions of the papers will undergo a review by the members of the ICTERI program committee. The ICTERI Steering Committee will decide upon the acceptance for this CCIS volume.

Participation

The authors (at least one of the authors) of the accepted papers must be physically present at the WS to present their paper at the time specified in the program. If authors do not appear at the WS their paper will be withdrawn from the published CEUR-WS proceedings. It is a strong requirement of the Conference ICTERI and the WS TheRMIT.
