The 2025 Software Certification Consortium (SCC) meeting will be held at the Historic Inns of Annapolis, Maryland from May 15, 2025 - May 16, 2025. The meeting will again be co-located with the High Confidence Software and Systems Conference 2025, and in parallel with the Trusted Computing Center of Excellence (TCCoE) Summit.

We have two themes for this SCC meeting: “Protecting safety-critical software intensive systems from malicious action” (scope includes Integrated Safety-Security Assurance), and “The potential of AI in safety assurance.” 

This is our 23rd meeting and one reason for this success is that a defining feature of SCC meetings is the time we allot for discussion and participatory sessions.  This meeting is no different. We are currently arranging the agenda, and there is plenty of discussion time allocated. As usual we will have a great slate of speakers. We will send out another invitation as soon as we have the agenda finalized.

The SCC is organized to pursue the following objectives:

• To promote the scientific understanding of certification for Systems containing Software (ScS) and the standards on which it is based;
• To promote development and improvement of consensus standards supporting certifiable software-intensive systems and their certification, through transfer of knowledge to existing standards organizations;
• To promote public, government and industrial understanding of the concept of ScS certification and the acceptance of the need for certification standards for software related products;
• To co-ordinate software certification initiatives and activities to further the above objectives.
