IJCCBS covers all the topics related to the engineering (including development and evaluation) of computer-based systems (CBS) employed in mission and safety critical applications. CBS feature increasingly large, distributed and heterogeneous architectures, which complicate their design and analysis. CBS are not simply isolated computer systems: context awareness, environmental factors and the interaction with systems of different nature have become very important aspects. Furthermore, dependability, resiliency, trustworthiness, survivability and peiformability are some of the many essential and non-elementary properties which often need to be predicted and demonstrated for such systems. The objective of IJCCBS is to provide insights, methods and tools to support the design and analysis of complex critical CBS. It also aims at disseminating new standards, processes and technologies together with development and verification approaches supported by sound case-study applications and success stories. Issues related to methodological and technological transfers from/to other research fields are addressed as well. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of some topics, IJCCBS seeks self-contained and well-focused papers even on subjects which are not strictly related to computer science.
