Powe r grid blackouts, airplane crashes, failures of me dical devices and malfunctioning automotive system s are just a few examples of incidents that affect system safety. They are often due to component fa ilures and unexpected interactions of subsystems u nder conditions that have not been anticipated dur ing system design and testing. Determining the roo t cause(s) of a system-level failure and elucidati ng the exact scenario that led to the failure is t oday a complex and tedious task that requires sign ificant expertise. Formal approaches for automated causality analysis, fault localization, explanati on of events, accountability and blaming have been proposed independently by several communities - i n particular, AI, concurrency, model-based diagnos is, software engineering, security engineering and formal methods. Work on these topics has signific antly gained speed during the last years. The goa ls of this workshop are to bring together and fost er exchange between researchers from the different communities, and to present and discuss recent ad vances and new ideas in the field. Submissions sh ould be prepared in EPTCS style with a length of u p to 15 pages. All contributions must be submitted via the EasyChair submission web site for CREST 2 020. All contributed papers will be reviewed by at least 3 PC members. Revised versions of selected papers will be published as formal post-workshop p roceedings in the Electronic Proceedings in Theore tical Computer Science. At least one of the author s of an accepted paper needs to register for the w orkshop and present the paper in order for it to b e included in the post-workshop proceedings.

Today's I T systems, and the interactions between them, beco me increasingly complex. Power grid blackouts, air plane crashes, failures of medical devices and mal functioning automotive systems are just a few exam ples of incidents that affect system safety. They are often due to component failures and unexpected interactions of subsystems under conditions that have not been anticipated during system design and testing. Determining the root cause(s) of a syste m-level failure and elucidating the exact scenario that led to the failure is today a complex and te dious task that requires significant expertise. Fo rmal approaches for automated causality analysis, fault localization, explanation of events, account ability and blaming have been proposed independent ly by several communities - in particular, AI, con currency, model-based diagnosis, software engineer ing, security engineering and formal methods. Work on these topics has significantly gained speed du ring the last years.
\n\nThe goals of this workshop are to bring together and foster exchang e between researchers from the different communiti es, and to present and discuss recent advances and new ideas in the field.
