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
- Dependability by virtualization
- Dependable high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
- Dependable mobile computing
- Dependable clusters
- Dependable internet servers
- Dependable grid and cloud computing
- Dependability in distributed embedded systems
- Dependability issues of multi- and manycore 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
