OVERVIEW
Authors are invited to submit position
papers to the Fifth Workshop on Hot Topics in System Dependability (HotDep'09).
HotDep'09 brings forth cutting-edge research ideas in fault tolerance,
reliability and systems. This year’s HotDep will focus on critical components
of the computing infrastructure: operating systems, networking, security,
cloud computing, and language design.
We seek contributions from both
academic researchers and industry practitioners to achieve a mix of
long-range research vision and technology ideas anchored in immediate
reality.
Position papers of a maximum length of
5 pages should preferably fall into one of the following categories:
· describing new techniques, algorithms, or protocols
for building dependable systems that represent advances over prior options or
might open new directions meriting further study
· revisiting old open problems in the domain using
novel approaches that yield demonstrable benefits
· debunking an old, entrenched perspective on
dependability
· articulating a brand-new perspective on existing
problems in dependability
· describing an emerging problem (and, possibly, a
solution) that must be addressed by the dependable systems research community
The program committee will favor
papers that are likely to generate healthy debate at the workshop, and work
that is supported by some evidence of feasibility (e.g., preliminary
experiments) or that includes other forms of validation.
TOPICS
Possible topics include but are not
limited to:
· automated failure
management, which enables systems to adapt on the fly to normal load changes
or exceptional conditions
· techniques for better
detection, diagnosis, or recovery from failures
· techniques for
avoiding or masking failure or system intrusion
· forensic tools for use
by administrators and programmers after a failure or attack
· techniques and metrics
for quantifying aspects of dependability in specific domains (e.g., measuring
the security, scalability, responsiveness, or other properties of a web
service)
·
tools/concepts/techniques for optimizing tradeoffs among availability,
performance, correctness, and security
· novel uses of
technologies not originally intended for dependability
SUBMISSION AND DEADLINES
Authors are invited to submit position
papers by 11:59 p.m. GMT on March 23, 2009. This is a firm deadline—no
extensions will be given.
Submitted position papers must be no
longer than 5 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures,
tables, and references; two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point
(single-spaced) leading; and a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep.
Author names and affiliations should appear on the title page.
Papers must be in PDF format and must
be submitted via the Web submission form accessible via http://www.dsn.org/hotdep/papers/.
Authors will be notified of acceptance
by April 20, 2009. Authors of accepted papers will produce a final version by
May 11, 2009. All papers will be available online to attendees prior to the
workshop and will be published electronically in Vol.2 of the Proceedings of
DSN'09.
In addition to citing relevant prior
work, authors must relate their HotDep submissions to relevant submissions of
their own that are published or simultaneously under review for this or other
venues.
Authors uncertain whether their submission
meets our guidelines should contact the program co-chairs,
hotdep09chairs@se.inf.tu-dresden.de. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure
agreement forms will not be considered. All submissions will be treated as
confidential prior to publication in the Proceedings.
Program and Registration Materials:
Complete HotDep’09 program and registration information will be available in
May 2009 via www.hotdep.org and www.dsn.org.
