Assurance provides confidence that a system will work as required and not cause harm. Confidence is based on justified beliefs about the system and its environment, and justification can be developed and documented as an assurance case comprised of a structured argument grounded on evidence. For justification to be compelling, the argument must be indefeasible, meaning that we have so thoroughl...

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is starting two ambitious projects to (1) develop a taxonomy of software security flaws and vulnerabilities, (2) develop a taxonomy of software assurance (SA) functions and techniques which detect those flaws, (3) perform and maintain a survey of SA tools implementing the functions, (4) develop testable specifications of SA function...

A small, manageable number of common software safety assurance principles can be observed from software assurance standards and industry best practice. We briefly describe these assurance principles and explain how they can be used as the basis for creating software safety arguments.

Computer systems are so complex, they usually designed and analyzed in terms of layers abstraction. Complexity is still a challenge facing logical reasoning tools that used to find software design flaws implementation bugs. Abstraction also common technique for scaling those more complex systems. However, the abstractions phase many cases different from assurance. In this paper we argue quality...

Quality assurance remains a key topic in human computation research. Prior work indicates that majority voting is effective for low difficulty tasks, but has limitations for harder tasks. This paper explores two methods of addressing this problem: tournament selection and elimination selection, which exploit 2-, 3and 4-way comparisons between different answers to human computation tasks. Our ex...
