Certifiable Evidences & Justification Engineering

Focus:

This group performs research on languages, techniques, metrics, and processes for engineering evidence(s) and justifications for the purpose of certification/selfassessment. More specifically, the focus is on languages, techniques, measurement frameworks, and processes for: modelling, analysis, justification and certification of complex dependable (computer-based) systems; systematic reuse of certification artifacts; multi-concern assurance; continuous certification via tool integration; compliance management; certification-related evidence engineering; safety/security management & safety/security culture; reuse-focused measurement frameworks.
