Abstract

Justified confidence in system and SoS behavior requires software assurance theories and principles that don't exist today. Using such theories and principles, organizations would have a better basis for confidence in deployed system behavior, and at the same time, these theories and principles could be used to make the assurance process more efficient and effective.
