CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

PRDC 2023 is the 28th event in a series of symposia started in 1989 devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing; it encompasses fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. This symposium is recognized as the main event in the Pacific Rim area, and it provides a forum for countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems.

------------------------------
Main Track Submission
------------------------------
Manuscripts may be submitted in IEEE double-column format to one of the following two categories: (i) Regular Papers and (ii) Practical Experience Reports.

Regular Papers (10 pages, excluding references and appendices) should describe original research.

Case Studies (6 pages, excluding references and appendices) should describe an experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure and recovery field data.

All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the submission website.

Please note that all submissions will undergo a double-blind review.
------------------------------
Industry Track Submission
------------------------------
The Industry Track provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry to present and debate R&D challenges, practical solutions, case studies, and share field reliability data. Papers should be in the IEEE double-column format.

The Industry Track at PRDC 2023 is soliciting industry papers in two categories:
Regular paper submission consisting of 6 pages (excluding references).
Position paper submission consisting of 2 pages (excluding references).

------------------------------
Fast Abstract Track Submission
------------------------------
Fast Abstracts are lightly-reviewed manuscripts 2-4 pages in IEEE double-column format (excluding references and appendices) describing unpublished, in-progress, novel work, opinions or ideas.

The submitted Fast Abstracts must be in .pdf format and completely ready for printing. To upload your paper, please use the submission site.

------------------------------
Publication
------------------------------
Accepted papers from all tracks will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (EI Indexed). Submission of a contribution indicates agreement to have one author present the work, if accepted, at the conference.

------------------------------
Journal Special Issue
------------------------------
A few excellent papers will be recommended to have their extended versions published in a Special Issue of Formal Aspects of Computing.

------------------------------
Paper Awards
------------------------------
One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award, and one outstanding paper first-authored by a student will receive the Best Student Paper Award.
