CO-CHAIRS

Francesca Lonetti
SEDC Laboratory at Institute of information science and technology "Alessandro Faedo" (ISTI), National Research Council (CNR) Pisa
Italy

 
Brief Bio
Francesca Lonetti is a researcher at CNR-ISTI, Italy. Her current research focuses on monitoring and testing of software systems. In particular, she is interested in: model-based monitoring approaches; testing of security systems (access control and usage control systems); methodologies and tools for robustness testing of web services, and business process modeling and assessment. Her expertise on these research topics has been applied in the context of several national and European research projects including LearnPAd, CHOReOS, TAS3, NESSoS, CONNECT, D-ASAP. She currently serves as member of the Editorial Board of International Journal of Communication Networks and Information Security (IJCNIS). She is and has been part of the program committee of several international conferences and workshops in the field, such as ICST, MODELSWARD, AST, QUATIC, ENASE. She has been publications chair of ICST 2012 and proceedings co-chair of ICSE 2015. She is co-chair of the 11th IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Automation of Software Test (AST 2016).

Brief Bio
Dr. Antonello Calabrò received his degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa in 2007. He is a researcher and software developer at CNR-ISTI in Pisa. Since 2007 he joined Human Interface in Information System group developing software solutions for improving mobility and text recognition of blind and visually impaired people within the project INPUT and Book4All. Currently, he is working at Software Engineering and Dependable Computing Laboratory (SEDC) at CNR-ISTI, investigating on software infrastructures for monitoring of complex systems (GLIMPSE) and focusing his research on: event-driven monitoring, business processes modeling and assessment, complex events processing. His expertise on these research topics has been applied in the context of several European research projects including CONNECT, Tas3, ChoreOS and LearnPAd. He is author of several publications and was member of the ICSE 2015 organizing committee.
Eda Marchetti
ISTI-CNR
Italy

 
Brief Bio
Eda Marchetti is a researcher at CNR-ISTI. She graduated summa cum laude in Computer Science from the University of Pisa (1997) and got a PhD from the same University (2003). Her research activity focuses on software testing in general and in particular on the introduction of novel methodologies for testing emerging software technologies. Her research topics include: security testing, testing of access control systems, model-based testing, SOA and component based testing, requirement management and assessment, monitoring business process, testing process management and scheduling, structural testing, interoperability testing, domain specific testing, product certification and assessment. She has been the responsible for ISTI-CNR of several national and international EU projects and she actively participated to more than 15 national and international projects.

SCOPE

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of domain specific model-based approaches for verification and validation in software development. These approaches are tailored to specific needs of the domain and leverage domain knowledge to adapt and customize well-known model-based approaches for verification and validation. Specifically, in the last decades software development is driven by emerging trends such as the widespread diffusion of mobile technology, cloud infrastructures adoption as well as big data analysis and software as a service paradigm that point out new constraints and challenges for the verification and validation activity.

The Special Session is held at MODELSWARD 2018 and continues the successful tradition of the last two editions of AMARETTO in the investigation of different aspects and domain specific solutions for model-based verification and validation. This Special Session provides a forum for academia, industry, and research and development communities to share their knowledge, exchange experiences and ideas, and discuss challenges and future research directions.
