The high quality development of critical systems (be it real-time, security-critical, dependable/safety-critical, performance-critical, or hybrid systems) is difficult. Many critical systems are developed, deployed, and used that do not satisfy their criticality requirements, sometimes with spectacular failures. Part of the difficulty of critical systems development is that correctness is often in conflict with cost. Where thorough methods of system design pose high cost through personnel training and use, they are all too often avoided. UML offers an unprecedented opportunity for high-quality critical systems development that is feasible in an industrial context. The workshop aims to gather practitioners and researchers to contribute to overcoming these challenges.     «
