Welcome to WoSoCer 2016

The WoSoCer workshop series is a forum for discussing novel solutions for the assessment and certification of software in critical systems, and for promoting their adoption through industrial and academic research projects.

The 2016 edition of WoSoCer is co-located with the 27th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2016), and it will take place in Ottawa, Canada, in October 24, 2016.
