Call for Contributions: EDCC-5: 5th European Dependable Computing Conference Budapest, Hungary, 20-22 April, 2005 http://sauron.inf.mit.bme.hu/EDCC5.nsf =================================================================== The fifth European Dependable Computing Conference aims to provide a European venue for researchers and practitioners from all over the world to present and discuss their latest research results and developments. Papers are solicited on theory, techniques and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation of dependable computing systems. Besides traditional hardware and software faults, concerns include human interaction faults, being they accidental or malicious. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures for Dependable Computer Systems - Architectures and Protocols for Computer Security - Dependability of High-Speed Networks - Dependability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation - Dependability in VLSI - E-commerce and Web services Dependability - Fault Tolerance in Distributed & Real-Time Systems - Fault Tolerance in Mobile Systems - Fault Tolerance in Multimedia Systems - Fault Tolerance in Transaction Processing - Hardware and Software Testing, Verification and Validation - Information Assurance, Survivability, and Intrusion Tolerance - Internet Dependability and Quality of Service - Safety-Critical Systems - Software Reliability Engineering Manuscripts should be submitted in the following categories: Regular Papers, Practical Experience Reports, Prototype-Tool descriptions and Panels. Regular Papers should describe original research (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be not more than 20 double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type. Practical Experience Reports (5-12 pages) should describe an experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure and recovery field data. Prototype-Tool description papers (5-12 pages) should outline the design or implementation of a software tool, a prototype or an operational system, etc. Panels (2-4 pages) should describe the panel objectives, and include the bio's of the Panel proposers and the probable panelists. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag series <Lecture Notes in Computer Science> Additional submission opportunities (Fast Abstracts, Student papers) are possible at a later deadline. Please visit our web site for full submission instructions and updated information on the conference. Important dates: * Submission deadline: September 5, 2003 * Notification: November 14, 2003 * Final papers: December 15, 2003 Conference organization: General Co-Chairs: Mario Dal Cin, Univ. of Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany Andras Pataricza, Budapest Univ. of Technology and Economics, Hungary Program Chair Mohamed Kaaniche, LAAS-CNRS, France <mohamed.kaaniche(at)laas.fr> Education and Perspectives Chair Henrique Madeira, Univ. of Coimbra, Portugal Student Forum Chair Miroslaw Malek, Humboldt Univ.
