Welcome and Introductions Gerard Holzmann – NASA / JPL David Parnas – Middle Road Software Coffee Discussion 1 – What are the key system engineering principles necessary to achieve safety? How are software elements of a system different? ( failure mechanisms, benefits of diversity, quantitative reliability) John Goodenough – SEI Discussion 2 – What are the challenges in certifying systems containing COTS? (ability to certify a black box, value of operating history, competencies of practitioners) Lunch Mats Heimdahl – University of Minnesota Discussion 3 –What kind of hazards can be introduced during software design that were not explicit in the requirements, and how can they be identified? Breakout 1 - What are the outstanding research questions related to gaining confidence in a system’s specification of critical properties? (including coffee) Summary from Breakout 1

3:45 - 4:15 4:15 – 4:30
John Knight – University of Virginia Discussion 4 – What evidence should be produced to support the certification of critical systems containing software? Joe D’Ambrosio – GM Coffee Discussion 5 – What body of knowledge do practitioners need to know in order to develop critical systems containing software? What should the role of licensed professional engineers be? Sushil Birla – US NRC Lunch Paul Jones – US FDA Discussion 6 – What criteria should be used for the evaluation of an assurance case that can be effectively applied by a 3rd party certifier? Breakout 2 - What are the outstanding research questions related to gaining confidence in a system’s implementation? ( including coffee ) Summary from Breakout 2 Wrap-up
