The 14th IEEE Pacific Rim International

Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC'08)

at Taipei, Taiwan  December 15-17, 2008

http://www.csie.ntust.edu.tw/prdc08

 

 

--CALL FOR PAPERS--

 

PRDC 2008 is the fourteenth in this series of symposia started in 1989

that are devoted to dependable and fault tolerant computing. PRDC is now

recognized as the main regular event of the Pacific area that is covering

the many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing

fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and

commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems

have permeated in every aspects of daily life, the dependability of

computing system has become increasingly critical. This symposium provides

a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world

to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems.

 

The symposium will be organized by the National Taiwan University of

Science and Technology, Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. Taipei is a vibrant

blend of traditional culture and cosmopolitan life. Taipei is the political,

economic, educational and recreational center of the country, offering an

array of significant cultural sights. A more recent cultural focal point

in the city is the National Palace Museum, which houses hundreds of thousands

of Chinese antiques and art works. The 101 tower is the highest building

in the world currently, surrounded by a lot of department stores.

 

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

 

- Software and hardware reliability, testing,           - Reliability in Internet and Web systems and

  verification and validation                              applications

- Dependability measurement, modeling and       - Information security in Internet

  evaluation                                                    - Multi-medium  in dependable computing

- Survivability quantification                             - Bioinformatics in dependable computing

- Security quantification                         - Dependability issues in computer networks

- Self-healing, self-protecting and fault-tolerant   and communications

  Systems                                               - Dependability issues in distributed and

- Software aging and rejuvenation                   parallel systems

- Safety-critical systems and software                     - Dependability issues in real-time systems,

- Architecture and system design for dependability   database and transaction processing systems

- Fault tolerant algorithms and protocols     - Dependability issues in autonomic computing

- Tools for design and evaluation of dependable            - Dependability issues in embedded systems

  Systems                                             - Industrial applications

 

--PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES--

 

Manuscripts should be submitted in the following categories: Regular Papers

and Practical Experience Reports. 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 (of 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. The title page should include a 150-word abstract, five keywords,

authors’ names and addresses and include a line specifying whether the submission

is a Regular Paper or a Practical Experience Report. The full mailing address,

phone, fax and email address of the corresponding author should be specified.

All submissions must be made electronically (http://www.csie.ntust.edu.tw/prdc08).

Additional submission opportunities are also possible at a later deadline under

the form of Fast Abstracts. Please visit our web site for full submission

instructions and updated information on the symposium.

 

Papers will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their originality,

significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be

published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in a

special issue of some International Journals.
