The 2^nd International Workshop on Software Trustworthiness (SoTrust2011)

Abstract

With the pervasive of computing facilities in people’s work and daily life, humans run into a revolution in communication and thinking, which brings forward computing thinking and social computing. Humans are socially blind and unsure, and thus, trustworthiness has been put on the spot to answer questions including: Can computing facilities be trusted? Can information systems be dependable? Can unknown people in the other end be trustworthy? That’s the motivation to establish a workshop named SoTrust. To assure trustworthiness in social computing, extensive reuse, of various resources such as components, services, product lines, patterns, frameworks and etc, is identified as a critical approach. SoTrust2011 aims at bringing together software scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers from different communities to discuss and exchange their new achievements, novel ideas, experiments, work-in-progress, and case studies in software trustworthiness with respect to reuse approaches. This year, SoTrust focuses on metrics and evaluation of software resource with respect to the property of trustworthiness; techniques and methodologies for the construction, reuse and evolution of trustworthy resources, and industrial experience.
