This book constitutes the proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security, SAFECOMP 2020, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2020.*

The 27 full and 2 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: safety cases and argumentation; formal verification and analysis; security modelling and methods; assurance of learning-enabled systems; practical experience and tools; threat analysis and risk mitigation; cyber-physical systems security; and fault injection and fault tolerance.

*The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The chapter ‘Assurance Argument Elements for Off-the-Shelf, Complex Computational Hardware’ is available open access under an Open Government License 3.0 via link.springer.com.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Workshops held in conjunction with SAFECOMP 2020, 39th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security, Lisbon, Portugal, September 2020.The 26 regular papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions; the book also contains one invited paper. The workshops included in this volume are:

DECSoS 2020:15th Workshop on Dependable Smart Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems and Systems-of-Systems.

DepDevOps 2020:First International Workshop on Dependable Development-Operation Continuum Methods for Dependable Cyber-Physical Systems.

USDAI 2020:First International Workshop on Underpinnings for Safe Distributed AI.

WAISE 2020:Third International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Safety Engineering.

The workshops were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Festschrift, dedicated to Wolfgang Reif on the occasion of his 65th birthday, collects contributions written by many of his closest research colleagues and many of his former students.

After obtaining his PhD in Karlsruhe in 1991, Wolfgang was appointed professor in Ulm in 1994 and then moved on to a chair in Augsburg in 2000.  He was the founding dean of the Faculty for Applied Computer Science where he established an Elite Master programme on Software Engineering together with TU Munich and LMU Munich and the study programme on Computer Science in Engineering. In 2008 he founded the Institute for Software & Systems Engineering and became its scientific director. He has coauthored more than 280 academic publications, led about 30 third-party-funded research projects, and supervised about 40 PhD students.

The volume reflects two particularly prominent aspects of Wolfgang''s outstanding academic career: the breadth of topics covered by him that range from formal methods, safety, and security over self-organizing systems to robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence methods; and the constant goal of applying innovative theoretical methods to practical applications in competitive, realistic, and large case studies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of 6 workshops co-located with SAFECOMP 2014, the 33rd International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security, held in Florence, Italy, in September 2014. The 32 revised full and 10 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. They are complemented with 6 introduction to each of the workshops: Architecting Safety in Collaborative Mobile Systems, ASCoMS''14; ERCIM/EWICS/ARTEMIS Workshop on Dependable Embedded and Cyberphysical Systems and Systems-of-Systems, DECSoS''14; DEvelopment, Verification and VAlidation of cRiTical Systems, DEVVARTS''14; Integration of Safety and Security Engineering, ISSE''14; Reliability and Security Aspects for Critical Infrastructure Protection, ReSA4CI''14; Next Generation of System Assurance Approaches for Safety-Critical Systems, SASSUR''14.
