Preliminary Call For Papers

The Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed systems design, development and evaluation, particularly with emphasis on reliability, availability, safety, security, trust and real-time. We welcome Research Papers describing original research as well as design, development and experimental results of operational systems, and Practical Experience Reports describing on-going industrial projects, prototype systems and exploratory or emerging applications

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Autonomic, pervasive and ubiquitous computing
Cloud computing and virtualization: X-as-a-Service
Dependability of distributed databases and transaction processing
Dependability of distributed multimedia systems
Dependable communication networks, QoS control and assessment
Dependable cooperative mobile systems: ad hoc networks, sensor networks, robot networks
Distributed algorithms
Distributed objects and middleware systems
Experimental or analytical evaluations of dependable distributed systems
Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability in distributed systems
Formal methods and foundations for dependable distributed computing
High-assurance and safety-critical distributed system design and evaluation
Internet-based systems and applications
Parallel and distributed operating systems
Privacy-assuring large scale data management systems
Resilience in distributed infrastructures (vehicular networks, power grids, etc.)
Secure and trusted distributed systems
Dependability in cyberphysical systems and internet-of-things
