The 23rd annual International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2012) is focused on innovative techniques and tools for assessing, predicting, and improving the reliability, safety, and security of software products. ISSRE also emphasizes industrial relevance, rigorous empirical studies and experience reports. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Reliability, availability, and safety of software systems
• Validation and verification, testing
• Software quality
• Software security
• Fault tolerance, survivability, and resilience of software systems
• Systems (hardware + software) reliability engineering
• Services reliability engineering
• Open source software reliability engineering
• Metrics and measurements, estimation, prediction of quality/reliability
• Supporting tools and automation
• Industry best practices
• Empirical studies of any of the above topics
