Preface
It has become a tradition to organize workshops in conjunction with the annual
SAFECOMP conferences. This year, we accepted proposals for 5 domain-specific
high-quality workshops. This resulted in 5 workshops where safety and safety-related
security formed the core content. This volume presents the proceedings of these
workshopsattheDelftUniversityofTechnologyonSeptember22,2015,precedingthe
SAFECOMP 2015 conference from 23 to 25 September. The SAFECOMP 2015
proceedings can be found in LNCS volume 9337.
The workshops allow for deep immersion into dedicated topics. This year’s
workshops are sequels to earlier workshops, which shows that the workshops are
relevant to the scientific society that deals with safety in programmable industrial
systems. The workshops maintained high-quality standards and were organized by
well-known chairs and respected Program Committees. The workshops constitute a
valuableadditiontotheSAFECOMPconferenceandthescientificsocietysurrounding
it. This year’s workshops were the following:

1 Introduction
Software-intensive systems play a key role in high-risk applications. Increasingly,
regulations, standards, and guidelines now mandate and/or recommend that assurance
cases be developed as part of the process for certification/approval of such systems,
e.g., in defense, aviation, automotive, and healthcare systems. An assurance case is a
reasoned argument, supported by a body of evidence, that a system exhibits certain
behavior in a defined environment. Typically, assurance cases focus on a particular
property—e.g., safety, security, or more generally, dependability—and are developed
in a phased manner at the system level, with relations to the system development
activities, i.e., requirements development, design, implementation, verification, and
deployment. Ultimately, assurance arguments will form a core part of the assurance
case for the wider system.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on
AssuranceCasesforSoftware-intensiveSystems(ASSURE2015),collocatedthisyear
with the 34th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security
(SAFECOMP 2015), in Delft, the Netherlands. As with the previous two editions of
ASSURE, this year’s workshop aims to provide an international forum for presenting
emerging research, novel contributions, tool development efforts, and position papers
on the foundations and applications of assurance case principles and techniques. The
workshop goals are to: i) explore techniques to create and assess assurance cases for
software-intensive systems; ii) examine the role of assurance cases in the engineering
lifecycle of critical systems; iii) identify the dimensions of effective practice in the
development/evaluation of assurance cases; iv) investigate the relationship between
dependability techniques and assurance cases; and, v) identify critical research chal-
lenges towards defining a roadmap for future development.
VIII ASSURE 2015
2 Program
ASSURE 2015 began with an invited keynote talk by Pippa Moore of the UK Civil
AviationAuthority(CAA).Ninepaperswereacceptedthisyear,coveringfourthemes
that address the workshop goals: foundations, methodology and patterns, tool support
and tool demonstrations, and applications. Papers under the ‘foundations’ theme
considered topics such as formalizing the structure of assurance arguments, and the
representation of confidence. The ‘methodology and patterns’ theme included papers
that dealt with argument patterns addressing security and safety, as well as lifecycle
approaches for safety and dependability. Papers concerning domain-specific
model-based tools for safety argumentation, systems for safety condition monitoring,
and building blocks for assurance cases comprised the ‘tool support and tool demon-
strations’ theme, whereas the ‘applications’ theme mainly dealt with medical device
assurance. Similar to the previous year’s workshop, ASSURE 2015 concluded with a
panel discussion, where researcher and practitioner panelists discussed the role of
argumentation in certification and safety risk management.
3 Acknowledgments
We thank all those who submitted papers to ASSURE 2015 and congratulate those
authors whose papers were selected for inclusion into the workshop program and
proceedings. For reviewing the submissions and providing useful feedback to the
authors, we especially thank our distinguished Program Committee members. Their
efforts have resulted in an exciting workshop program and, in turn, a successful third
edition of the ASSURE workshop series. Finally, we thank the organizers of SAFE-
COMP 2015 for their support of ASSURE 2015.
