The International Symposium on Software Reliability 
Engineering is the leading symposium for dissemination 
of state-of-the-art software reliability research and 
engineering practice. The 12th edition of ISSRE will be 
held in the New World Renaissance Hotel in Hong Kong, 
and will have as special theme Software Reliability 
Engineering for Internet and E-Commerce. 

Hong Kong is a fitting place to focus on software 
reliability engineering aspects of the Internet 
revolution. The city plays a role of singular importance 
as China's chief source for world-class services and 
networks. In addition, Hong Kong continues to act as a 
gateway to many Asian markets. At ISSRE 2001 we bring 
together the major regional and international players, 
for a stimulating exchange of ideas and experiences in 
creating dependable Internet services. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
 . Network system reliability	
 . Internet reliability engineering
 . Quality of network service	
 . Mobile access availability
 . Electronic commerce	      
 . Mobile systems availability
 . Software diversity	      
 . Practice of reliability modeling
 . Reliability measurement	
 . Software testing and verification
 . Software reliability models  
 . Fault-tolerant and robust software
 . Software architecture reliability   
 . Tools
 . Software safety	      
 . Reliability engineering education
 . Reliability of distributed systems  
 . Technology transfer
 . Reliability in software processes   
 . Standards and regulation
 . Dependable e-services	
 . Measurements, empirical studies

Special technical sessions, panel discussions 
and industry tracks will be committed to all 
facets of reliability engineering in the era 
of Internet and e-commerce.
