Keynote Title: Assuring Product Lines of Complex Systems

Keynote Abstract:Assuring the reliability of complex systems is a difficult and expensive undertaking. These costs are further exacerbated when a family of similar products with varying features need to be assured, or when products evolve due to changing requirements or to introduce new functionalities. In this talk I will discuss methods for assuring reliability of such systems, from their representation as product lines to their efficient analysis to methods for building and maintaining assurance cases for such systems using templates.
