ISSRE'04 : Call for participation (France, Nov 04)

************************************************************************
                                                      CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


                                                                  ISSRE-2004
5th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability and Engineering
                                                Rennes and Saint-Malo, France
                                                          November 2-5, 2004

************************************************************************


ISSRE focuses on the theory and practice of Software Reliability
Engineering.


The conference scope includes techniques and practices to
(1) verify and validate software,
(2) estimate and predict its dependability, and
(3) make it more tolerant/robust to faults.


Over the years, the conference has grown steadily attracting about
200 participants on a regular basis. The conference is big enough
to represent all the key topics in software reliability engineering,
but small enough to provide an in-depth representation of theory or
practice in these areas. Industry participation has also increased
over time, leading to a healthy mixture of theory and practice. This
year's theme is on the use of model-driven software development and
its implications on software dependability. ISSRE 2004 will be held
in Rennes (Nov. 2)and Saint-Malo (Nov. 3-5).

* Conference venue


Saint-Malo is a corsair (a corsair is a kind of official "pirate,"
hired by the king) city located on the north coast of Brittany,
close to the Mont Saint-Michel and to Rennes. Saint-Malo is often
compared to a great vessel preparing to set out to sea, always
searching renewal and adventures. Every street corner, every shore
recalls the city's legendary past, along the innumerable walks and
seafront promenades. More than two and a half million visitors come
here every year from all over the world to appreciate this
exceptional site and its special atmosphere. A great variety of
nautical activities are to be found here. And so as not to do
things by halves, Saint-Malo is well-known as an international
sailing capital: the biggest transoceanic races in the world start
from the corsair city.


Close to Saint-Malo, the Mont Saint-Michel is one of Brittany's
best-known attractions. Surrounded by the most powerful tides in
Europe, perched high on a rocky island, this medieval city and its
abbey are a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site.
