Title: "Benchmarking trustworthiness of software systems"
Abstract: Trustworthiness is a paramount concern for users and customers in the selection of a software solution, specially in the context of complex and dynamic environments, such as Cloud and IoT. However, assessing and benchmarking trustworthiness (worthiness of software for being trusted) is a challenging task, mainly due to the variety of application scenarios (e.g., business-critical, safety-critical), the large number of determinative quality attributes (e.g., security, performance), and last, but foremost, due to the subjective notion of trust and trustworthiness. In this seminar, I am going to show how we could use software metrics to present trustworthiness as a measurable notion in relative terms based on security attributes and propose an approach for the assessment and benchmarking of software.
