4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety Assessment
Munich, Germany, October 27-29, 2014

--------------------------------------------------------------------
After previous editions in Toulouse (2011), Bordeaux (2012), and Versailles
(2013), the 4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety and Assessment
(IMBSA 2014) will be held in Munich, Germany.
This forum aims at bringing together engineers, software specialists and
researchers working on all aspects of model-based safety assessment.
The goal of IMBSA is to provide a forum, where brand new ideas from academia,
leading edge technology and industrial experiences are brought together. The
objectives are to present experiences and tools, to share ideas, and to
consolidate the community. We solicit contributions concerning any domain of
safety critical application using model-based methods. This includes, but is
not limited to:
* System Dependability Modeling and Assessment
* Domain Specific Modeling Formalisms (AltaRica, ...)
* Model-Driven Engineering Methodologies
* System Architecture and Optimization
* System Engineering Modeling Tools with Safety Assessment
(SysML...)
* Case Studies and Practical Experiences
* Traceability of (Safety)-Requirements
* Specification of Safety Requirements and Patterns
* Certification and Standardization of and with Model-Based Methods
* Integration in Interdisciplinary Processes
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
THE IMBSA APPROACH
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
IMBSA is looking back at a rich tradition of successfully combining research
with a high number of industrial contributions. It shows that bridging the gap
between basic research and industrial practice can be done effectively through
interactive presentation of tools and methods. To take this into account, the
conference will - in contrast to solely scientific events - be split into three
main parts:
* a scientific part, where newest findings are presented by renown scientists
(DAY 1)
* a tools and tutorials parts, in which consolidated research achievements
are interactively demonstrated (DAY 2)
* and one part reporting on experiences and hot challenges in industrial
practice of safety critical systems (DAY 3)
This way, participants from the industry learn about new tools and techniques,
while research groups and spin-off companies can present their achievements to
an interested audience. Also industrial contributors and young spin-offs can
convince future customers of their tools in this mixed environment. We believe,
that this mixture of conventional talks about newest achievements, presentation
of practical experiences and interactive learning allows for fruitful
discussions, exchange of information as well as future cooperation.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
For each academic and industrial submission, an abstract should be submitted by
May 31th, 2014, using the EasyChair website
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imbsa2014). Academic papers should
not exceed 14 pages. Industrial experiences reports may either be submitted as
short papers (8 pages) or full papers (14 pages). Both forms of submission have
to comply with the LNCS style format and be handed in by 15th of June. For
tutorials and tool demonstration, extended abstracts (2 pages) are sufficient
but full length papers may also be accepted. All papers will be subject to a
full review.
All accepted papers will be published as an Springer LNCS proceedings. The
proceedings are planned as pre-conference proceedings and the printed books
should be available at the conference day (final approval pending). To be
considered for the proceedings, at least one author of each paper has to
participate at the conference. Scientific and industrial experience will be
presented at the conference in oral form. Tools and tutorials will be presented
in special slots (within the main program) and may be presented in an
interactive manner.
