The 24th annual International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2013)

Welcome to the IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering - the premium conference in this technical area. Over the past 20+ years we have grown to be recognized as the voice of software reliability. From its humble beginnings in 1990, it has become a conference that has a unique element to it. It has both: a strong research and an equally strong industry participation. Something that we do not see very often among conferences. There are several research conferences that are academically centered. And, there are several industry conferences that hardly have any research and academic participation. We have both! And in recent years our data tells us that we are almost evenly split. This is a huge accomplishment for any conference. And, this was no accident. The core leadership of the conference has targeted this goal and created programs that allow the top tier of research and industry to interact on issues of current importance. That we have actually approached this target over the past five to eight years is of immense satisfaction to us. Our gratitude is to you, the participant, for helping us create this unique community.
