[DMANET] Call for Papers - The 22nd IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC 2017)

CALL FOR PAPERS


********************************************************************************

The 22nd IEEE Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing
(PRDC 2017)
Christchurch, New Zealand
January 22-25, 2017
http://prdc.dependability.org/PRDC2017/
********************************************************************************

IEEE PRDC 2017 is the twenty-second event in the 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 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 system
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.

"Christchurch City is alive with colour, atmosphere and world-class
attractions,
including the International Antarctic Centre, Orana Park and Willowbank
Wildlife Park.
Christchurch is known internationally as the "Garden City" because of its
spectacular gardens.
Christchurch is also home to a number of excellent cafes, bars and
restaurants.
Many popular destinations such as Kaikoura, Akaroa, Mt Hutt and South
Canterbury are less than two hours drive from Christchurch."
(from NZ tourism guide, http://www.tourism.net.nz/region/christchurch)

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 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.
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.
