Introduction of the Workshop
-----------------
The International Workshop on Engineering Safety and Security Systems
(ESSS) aims at contributing to the challenge of constructing reliable
and secure systems. The workshop covers areas such as formal
specification, (extended) type checking, model checking, program
analysis/transformation, model-based testing and model-driven software
construction. The workshop will bring together researchers and
industry R&D expertise together to exchange their knowledge, discuss
their research findings, and explore potential collaborations.


Theme of the Workshop
-----------------
The main theme of the workshop is methods and techniques for
constructing large reliable and secure systems. The goal of the
workshop is to establish a platform for the exchange of ideas,
discussion, cross-fertilization, inspiration, co-operation, and
dissemination. The topics of the workshop include, but are not
limited to:

-- methods, techniques and tools for system safety and security
-- methods, techniques and tools for analysis, certification, and
   debugging of complex safety and security systems
-- model-based and verification-based testing
-- emerging application domains such as cloud computing and
   cyber-physical systems
-- case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods
   for analyzing safety and security systems


Submissions guidelines
-----------------
Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions
should be in made via the Easychair site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esss2014.

We invite two types of submissions:

--Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished
work within the scope of the workshop.
--Short papers (up to 6 pages) describing work in progress or less
mature results.

Case studies and tool papers are welcome as well. All submissions must
be prepared in LATEX using the EPTCS macro package.

The final versions of accepted regular and short papers will be
published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (EPTCS). Furthermore, authors of a selection of the
accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
articles to a special issue of a high-quality journal, after the
workshop. Publication of accepted articles requires the commitment of
one of the authors to register for the workshop and present the paper.
