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.
