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.
