Background and Objectives

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry who are interested in developing techniques for the quality assessment of Open Source Software (OSS), leading to the definition of a complete certification process.

The workshop will focus on formal methods and model-based techniques, emphasising on those aspects which are specific to OSS, such as unconventional development, rapid evolution of the code, and huge amount of legacy code.

Contributions to the workshop are expected to present foundations, methods, tools and case studies that integrate techniques from different areas such as certification, security, reverse engineering, and formal modeling and verification, in order to overcome the challenges in the quality assessment of OSS.
