Scope and Aim:
The area of critical systems represents the intersection of several systems criteria based on dependability properties like availability, reliability, reparability, maintainability, etc. Due to their heterogeneity and variability, critical systems require the expertise of modeling, verification and testing domains to ensure their dependability and safety.
This special issue aims to present best practices, tools and methodologies taking into account the functional and non-functional aspects (including, but not limited to: scheduling, performance, security, safety, etc.).
This special issue will be a collection of papers on the following topics in the context of critical dependable systems:
