***********************************************************************
13th IEEE Workshop on Dependable Parallel, Distributed and
Network-Centric Systems - DPDNS
'08
Miami, Florida
USA
April 14-18,
2008
Held in conjunction with
the
22nd IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing
Symposium
***********************************************************************
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
· Dependable high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
· Dependable mobile computing
· Dependable clusters of workstations and PCs
· Dependable internet servers
· Dependability in distributed embedded systems
· Using COTS for designing dependable network-centric computing
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
