V&V Workshop Call For Papers
❗️DEADLINE: May 23, 2026 ❗️
Both the avionics and software used in space missions are growing significantly more complex and the verification and validation (V&V) of these systems is growing more difficult and costly. There is a growing need for new approaches to V&V that meet the challenges of enabling flight certification in a timely and cost-effective manner. This workshop focuses on the verification and validation of software and hardware systems for space with emphasis on processes, engineering methodologies, and tools to enable space flight certification of these systems.
The workshop will have a mix of both invited speakers and reviewed papers. The reviewed papers will appear in the SMC-IT/SCC conference proceedings.
We are looking for your papers on verification and validation of software and hardware for space systems!
