CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Workshop on Dependable and Secure Nanocomputing (WDSN2009)
Monday June 29, 2009
http://www.laas.fr/WDSN09
at the 39th IEEE/IFIP Int. Conf. on Dependable Systems & Networks - DSN2009
June 29-July 2, 2008 -- Estoril, Lisbon - Portugal -- www.dsn.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOTIVATION AND THEME
The Workshop is aimed at characterizing the impairments and threats attached
to the downscaling of current and future hardware technologies, as well as
distinguishing the design approaches and paradigms that have to be enforced
and/or favored in order to keep achieving dependable and secure computing.
Since its first edition in 2007, the Workshop constitutes an open forum
aimed at addressing the challenges posed to researchers and practitioners.
In particular, it has been instrumental in invigorating hardware-related
matters in the framework of DSN.
