Call for papers
International Conference on Open Source Systems, OSS 2011
5-8 October 2011, Salvador, Brazil
Software Reliability of FLOSS

Over the past decade, the Open Source Software (OSS) phenomenon has had
a global impact on the way organisations and individuals create,
distribute, acquire and use software and software-based services. OSS
has challenged theconventional wisdom of the software engineering and
software business communities, has been instrumental for educators and
researchers, and has become an important aspect of e-government and
information society initiatives. OSS is a complex phenomenon and
requires a interdisciplinary understanding of its engineering,
technical, economic, legal and socio-cultural dynamics.

The goal of OSS 2011, the first to be held in South America, is to
provide an international forum where a diverse community of
professionals from academia, industry and public administration can come
together to share research findings and practical experiences. The
conference is also meant to provide information and education to
practitioners, identify directions for further research, and to be an
ongoing platform for technology transfer.

***The major OSS2011 theme is Software Reliability. ***

Conference Topics

The conference will consist of research and industry papers
presentations, workshops, tutorials, panels, and project demonstrations.
The major OSS2011theme is Software Reliability.
Software reliability and trust in FLOSS is key concern that is
influencing the adoption, use and development of FLOSS since its
origins. How can the community of researchers and practitioners help and
shed some lights on thisissue? Authors are invited to contribute to the
debate. In particular, authors are invited to submit papers and
proposals on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

Software reliability of FLOSS
