INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Manuscripts in the following categories will be refereed and
considered for publication in the Proceedings of the 2003
International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks.
Excessively long submissions, unoriginal work, or work that is
submitted to multiple venues, will be disregarded.
* Regular Papers describing recent research results.
* Practical Experience Reports describing an experience or a case
study.
* Software and System Demonstrations describing the software or the
system, its context and objective, and the planned demonstration.
Optionally, authors may send video recordings of their proposed
demonstration in addition to their manuscripts.
* Panels, including the proposed topic(s), a description of the
panel objectives, and the names and addresses of probable
panelists.
The title page should include the title of the paper, author name(s),
affiliations, mailing address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail
address, a maximum 150-word abstract, five keywords, the submission
category (see above), an approximate word count, and a declaration
that the material has been cleared through author affiliations. For
multi-authored submissions, the contact author should be indicated.
The format of submissions for review should be single-column, Times
11-point size, double-spaced:
* 20 pages for Regular Papers (equivalent to 10 IEEE conference
pages),
* 12 pages for Practical Experience Reports and Software and System
demonstrations (equivalent to 6 IEEE conference pages),
* 4 pages (equivalent to 2 IEEE conference pages), plus biographical
sketch for Panels.
The format for final, camera-ready submissions that have been accepted
for publication should be in accordance with IEEE standard conference
paper format.
Submit all materials in electronic form through the web to:
www.dei.uc.pt/dsn2003
Format: PostScript (.ps) or Portable Document Format (.pdf)
Please preview the manuscript in a viewer such as GhostView to ensure
its integrity before submitting it. For those who are unable to submit
materials electronically, please contact program co-chairs for special
instructions at dcc03@dsn.org.

WILLIAM C. CARTER AWARD
Since 1997, the IEEE TC on FTC together with IFIP WG 10.4 has
sponsored the William C. Carter Award for an outstanding paper based
on a graduate dissertation in the "Regular Paper" category. The
student's dissertation must be in the area of dependable computing,
and the student must be the first author. Both current graduate
students and former graduate students, no more than two years past the
completion of their dissertation, are eligible. A dissertation advisor
wishing to nominate a student should submit the nomination form that
can be found through the conference website.
