***********************************************************************
13th IEEE Workshop
on Dependable Parallel, Distributed and
Network-Centric
Systems - DPDNS '08
Miami, Florida
USA
April 14-18,
2008
Held in conjunction
with the
22nd IEEE
International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
***********************************************************************
Theme
Increasingly large
and complex parallel, distributed and network-centric computing systems
provide unique
challenges to the researchers in dependable computing, especially because
of the high failure
rates intrinsic to these systems. The goal of this workshop in continuation
of the FTPDS
(Fault-Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems) workshop series is to provide
a forum for
researchers and practitioners to discuss all aspects of dependability including
reliability,
availability, safety and security for parallel, distributed and network-centric
systems.
All aspects of
design, theory and realization are of interest.
Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
• Dependable
parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
• High availability
in parallel, distributed and network-centric computing systems
• Safety and security
in distributed and network-centric computing systems
• Autonomic network
computing
• Dependable
high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
• Dependable mobile
computing
• Dependable clusters
of workstations and PCs
• Dependable internet
servers
• Dependability in
distributed embedded systems
• Using COTS for
designing dependable network-centric computing systems
• Dependable
protocols for distributed and network-centric systems
• Protocol
verification and validation
• Practical experiences
and prototypes
• Dependability
evaluation of parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
• Dependable quantum
computing
• Dependable organic
computing
• Dependable
biocomputing
