Proceedings of the Center for National Software Studies Workshop on Trustworthy Software

摘要

Achieving what is often termed 'software trustworthiness' has been an elusive goal, in part because of the lack of a clear understanding of why we sometimes succeed but often fail to produce trustworthy software. To better understand the challenges the United States faces in achieving the goal of producing and acquiring trustworthy software systems and products, a workshop on the subject of trustworthy software was held April 8-9, 2004 in Monterey, California. The 22 papers presented at the workshop are contained in this proceedings, which is intended to be used as input to a national research and development (R&D) agenda on software trustworthiness.
