18.30 Concluding Remarks
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
