MissionThe goal of the centre is to
provide an environment for research, development and
consulting on issues related to software assurance.
The School of Information Technology has conducted
research in some of the areas described earlier. The
centre will build on this work and maintain close
ties with researchers (both academic and industry)
as well as consumers who need software assurance and
practitioners who provide assurance related
services. This will enable it to keep abreast of the
latest developments, develop new techniques, and
disseminate the findings to the consumer.
The centre will concentrate on the development of
assurance mechanisms that can guide the developer as
well as be used by independent assessors. Topics for
further research and development will include
- Sound models to describe software behaviour
- Sound engineering principles for developers
- User driven techniques for examining
behaviour
- Models for describing impact of errors in
the context of system behaviour
- Build prototypes that demonstrate the
validity of the models
