*Call for Papers: The 20th IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on
Dependable Computing (PRDC 2014)*



*Singapore Nov 18-21, 2014 *

PRDC 2014 is the twentieth in this series of symposia started in 1989 that
are devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized
as the main event in the Pacific area that covers the many dimensions of
dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical
approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and
systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated into all
aspects of daily life, the dependability of computing systems has become
increasingly critical. This symposium provides a forum for countries around
the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world to exchange ideas for
improving the dependability of computing systems.
 Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

   - Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification, and
   validation
   - Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
   - Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
   - Software aging and rejuvenation
   - Safety-critical systems and software
   - Architecture and system design for dependability
   - Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
   - Reliability in cloud computing, Internet, and web systems and
   applications
   - Cloud and Internet Information security
   - Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
   - Dependability issues in distributed and parallel systems
   - Dependability issues in real-time systems, database, and transaction
   processing systems
   - Dependability issues in autonomic computing
   - Dependability issues in aerospace and embedded systems

 Paper Submissions

Manuscripts should be submitted in the following categories: Regular Papers
and Practical Experience Reports. Regular Papers should describe original
research (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be not more than 10
pages using IEEE format guidelines
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>or
20 pages double-spaced. Practical Experience Reports (max 6 pages
using
IEEE format guidelines or 12 pages double-spaced) should describe an
experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system
or actual failure and recovery field data. The title page should include a
150-word abstract, five keywords, authors' names and affiliations, and a
line specifying whether the submission is a Regular Paper or a Practical
Experience Report. The full mailing address, phone, fax, and email address
of the corresponding author should be specified.

All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the submission
web site <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prdc2014>. Papers
will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their originality,
significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers
will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. One outstanding paper
will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award.
Important Dates

Submission deadline: May 2, 2014
Notification: June 25, 2014
Best regards
