Seventh European Dependable Computing Conference
EDCC-7
Kaunas, Lithuania
May 7-9, 2008
http://edcc.dependability.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
There is an increasing dependency of the society on computing services
and their underlying computing systems. This dependency creates strict
requirements for the delivered services. These requirements affect to
he quality of service, continuous availability, survivability in the advent
of catastrophic failures, confidentiality, intrusion tolerance, etc.
Dependability is a concept that considers all these cross-cutting concerns
and required attributes, such as reliability, availability, safety, and
security, as well as human factors.
The seventh European Dependable Computing Conference aims at
providing a European-hosted venue for researchers and practioners
from all over the world to present and discuss their latest research
achievements. Original papers are solicited on theory, techniques,
systems, and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation
of dependable computing systems. All kinds of faults are of interest,
from traditional hardware and software faults to accidental and
malicious human interactions.
Major topics include, but are not limited to:
- Architectures for dependable systems.
- Architecture and protocols for security.
- Critical infrastructure protection.
- Dependability for mobile systems.
- Dependability in high-bandwidth and system area networks.
- Dependability measurement, modeling, and evaluation.
- Dependability in SOA and middleware.
- Dependability in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks.
- Dependability in high performance and grid systems.
- Dependability in business and e-commerce applications.
- Dependability in data streaming.
- Security.
- Fault tolerant distributed systems.
- Fault tolerance in databases and transactional systems.
- Fault tolerance in real-time systems.
- Fault tolerance in multimedia systems.
- Hardware and software testing, verification, and validation.
- Human factors.
- Formal methods for dependability.
- Information assurance, survivability, and intrusion tolerance.
- Internet dependability and quality of service.
- Safety-critical systems.
- Software reliability engineering.
- Dependability benchmarking.
- Software engineering for dependability.
EDCC is the successor of two European conference series on fault-tolerance,
dependability, and testing dating back to the 70s and 80s. EDCC is now
an established conference on dependability organized every 2 years
by a European country and attracting papers from all over the world.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
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 bios of the Panel proposers and the probable panelists.
The title page of each submission should include a 150-word abstract,
five keywords, authors' names and address and include a line specifying
the submission category. The full mailing address, phone, fax and email
address of the corresponding author should be specified. All submissions
must be made electronically through the web at
http://edcc.dependability.org
The proceedings of the conference will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society.
