International Workshop on Human Factors for Software Dependability
About HFSD
HFSD is a specialized workshop aims to bring researchers from multiple disciplines together to address the human factors that challenge the reliability, safety, and security of software systems. Interested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Humans as the Designers of Software Systems- Human errors that cause software defects in various stages of the software development life cycle.
- Interdisciplinary experimental paradigms for studying the cognitive mechanisms behind software defects.
- Various psychological factors that influence software engineers’ tendencies to introduce software defects.
- Biometrics in software engineering to detect developers’ engagement, error-prone cognitive states, stress, fatigue, etc.
- Code comprehension assessment, identification of comprehension bottlenecks, and dynamic approaches to assess code understandability.
- Human factors in AI-assisted coding.
- Personality traits and emotions in software development, particularly their impact on software reliability.
- Human factors related to software reliability techniques, such as software diversity.
- Human factors as predictors of software reliability, etc.
- Other related topics.
- User errors that affect the safety of software systems.
- Human factors that affect software security.
- User errors that impact the failures and reliability of software systems.
- Users as predictors of the reliability, safety, and security of software systems.
- Social and ethical issues of AI software systems.
- Human safety of autonomous systems.
