CALL FOR PAPERS
Twin Workshops on Architecting Dependable Systems (WADS)
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/wads
ICSE 2004 WADS DSN 2004 WADS
Edinburgh, Scotland - UK Florence - Italy
25 May, 2004 29 June, 2004
MOTIVATION AND THEME
The twin workshops on architecting dependable systems is an ambitious
project, which aims to promote cross-fertilization between the communities
of software architectures and dependability. Both communities will benefit
from the clarification of approaches that have been previously tried and
succeeded, as well as those that have been tried but have not yet shown to
be successful. This not only helps avoid the reinvention of the wheel, but
also clarifies and promotes areas where the most promising research may
lie.
Although the two workshops are self-contained events, the Program
Committee for both workshops is the same, with the aim of establishing
balance and complementary programs that promote the discussion in the area
of architecting dependable systems. The fundamental two basic questions
that the twin workshops will deal with are: what are the architectural
principles involved in building dependable systems? How should these
architectures be evaluated?
OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS
The aim of the workshop is to bring together the communities of software
architectures and dependability to discuss the state of research and
practice when dealing with dependability issues at the architecture level.
We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all
topics related to software architectures for dependable systems. These
include, but are not limited to: dependability modeling in software
architectures; verification and validation (including model checking) of
dependable software architectures; adaptable architectures for achieving
dependability; architectural support for self-healing, self-repairing,
self-stabilizing systems; run-time checks of architectural models;
dependability evaluation in software architectures; architectural patterns
for dependable systems; exception handling in software architectures;
redundancy and diversity at the level of architectures; dependable
architectures and implementation.
PARTICIPATION, SUBMISSION AND SELECTION PROCESS
The twin workshops are open to all researchers, system developers and
users who are involved with or have an interest in dependability at the
architecture level. We encourage all the prospective participants to
submit an extended abstract, work-in-progress report or position paper.
In order to have balanced workshop programs for promoting cross-
fertilization between the two communities, some high-quality papers may be
accepted for both workshops. Consequently, we request that the authors of
each submitted paper indicate which workshop(s) the paper is being
submitted to. Upon acceptance of a paper that has been submitted to both
workshops, the PC will decide which workshop(s) the submission will be
associated with.
The submissions must conform to the proceedings publication format (IEEE
Conference style) and should not exceed five pages, including all text,
references, appendices, and figures. They should explain the contribution
to the field and the novelty of the work, making clear the current status
of the work. Workshop paper submissions should be sent electronically
(preferably in PDF format), by the submission date, to
[log in to unmask] The submissions will be reviewed by at least three
members of the Program Committee.
