The 10th International Symposium Pacific Rim Dependable Computing March 3-5, 2004 Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia http://www.laas.fr/PRDC10 PRDC 2004 is the tenth in this series of symposia started in 1989, that are devoted to dependable and fault tolerant computing. PRDC is now recognized as the main regular event of the Pacific area that is covering the many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems In the recent years, the importance of dependability has been increasing beyond the classical critical application domains (telecommunication, transportation, space, etc.) as many other domains of the economy (commerce, finance, energy distribution) are recognizing dependability of the worldwide information and communication infrastructures to be one of their top problems. Besides traditional hardware and software faults, concerns include human interaction faults, being they accidental or malicious; the latter gaining increasing importance due to the evolution of Internet connections and applications. The symposium will be organized in the archipelago of the Society Islands and more precisely in Tahiti. This central setting, right in the middle of the traditional zone of attraction of the symposium, will provide both a really convenient and most pleasant location for the researchers and practitioners in the domain of dependable computing. PRDC 2004 will be held at Hotel Sheraton Tahiti that is conveniently positioned between Faa?a international airport and Papeete. (http://www.sheratonsintahiti.com/tahiti/us). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Architectures for Dependable Computer Systems - Architectures and Protocols for Computer Security - Dependability of High-Speed Networks - Dependability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation - Dependability in VLSI - E-commerce and Web services Dependability - Fault Tolerance in Distributed & Real-Time Systems - Fault Tolerance in Mobile Systems - Fault Tolerance in Multimedia Systems - Fault Tolerance in Transaction Processing - Hardware and Software Testing, Verification and Validation - Information Assurance, Survivability, and Intrusion Tolerance - Internet Dependability and Quality of Service - Safety-Critical Systems - Software Reliability Engineering. 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 20 double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type. Practical Experience Reports (of 5-12 pages) 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 address and include 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 correponding author should be specified. All submissions must be made electronically. Additional submission opportunities are also possible at a later deadline under the form of Fast Abstracts (See below) IMPORTANT DATES Submission: September 5, 2003 Notification: November 14, 2003 Final version: December 15, 2003 Fast Abstracts Following a tradition established in the International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, we are pleased to announce the Fast Abstracts Track at PRDC 2004. A Fast Abstract is a two-page paper written according to the standard double-column IEEE format; it is fast to write and fast to get international feedback. Fast Abstracts are intended as a light mechanism to: * Report on current work that may or may not be complete * Introduce new ideas to the community * State positions on controversial issues or open problems * Bring out new issues to investigate * Present experience obtained from practice Contributions from academia and industry, that are relevant to the topics of the symposium, are welcomed. In particular, we invite engineers from the industry, who may not have enough time to write a full paper, to take this opportunity to exchange their ideas and solutions, as well as technical problems and practical experience, with the international community. Participants in this Track will present a short talk and publish a concise two page abstract in the Supplement of the 2004 International Symposium Pacific Rim Dependable Computing. Preparation and Submission A Fast Abstract must be submitted in its final form, ready to be printed. It must be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF; .pdf file suffix). PDF can easily be generated by many applications, including Microsoft Word, via the commercial product Adobe Acrobat, or generated from PostScript by the ps2pdf utility, which is a part of the freeware package GNU GhostScript. If it is not possible for you to submit PDF, please contact one of the Fast Abstracts program committee and make other arrangements. Fast Abstracts are limited to two pages. Information on formatting dimensions ( .pdf \| .doc ) and author guidelines ( .pdf \| .doc ) are available. Before your Fast Abstract can appear, you must send us a copyright form ( .pdf \| .doc ). (If you have problems downloading the .doc files, try right-clicking on the .doc link and then choose menu Save Link As (NetScape Navigator) or Save Target As (MS Internet Explorer) to save the file to your local disk.) Please name your file something very likely to be unique and recognizable; we suggest a concatenation of the first author's last name and organizational abbreviation; e.g., "jones-cmu.pdf" or "leblanc-laas.pdf". When you have your PDF file prepared, you may submit it electronically via the Fast Abstracts submission page. You will receive email acknowledging your submission. Acceptance and Notification Fast Abstracts will not be refereed. Instead they will be lightly screened by the Fast Abstracts program committee. The criteria for acceptance will be relevance and interest to the community. We will accept as many Fast Abstracts as possible, limited by the available presentation time at the conference. You will be notified when your submission has been screened and whether or not it was accepted. Important Notes The final submission deadline is December 15, 2003. However, the effective deadline will be earlier if the Fast Abstract slots are filled before then. So you are encouraged to send in your submission well in advance of the final deadline. The deadline for notification is January 16, 2004. By submitting a Fast Abstract, you are committing yourself or one of your colleagues to present at the conference.

The 10th International Symposium 
Pacific  Rim  Dependable  Computing
March 3-5, 2004
Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia 
http://www.laas.fr/PRDC10


PRDC 2004 is the tenth in this series of symposia started in 1989, that are
devoted to dependable and fault tolerant computing. PRDC is now recognized as
the main regular event of the Pacific area that is covering the many
dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental
theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial
components and systems

In the recent years, the importance of dependability has been increasing
beyond the classical critical application domains (telecommunication,
transportation, space, etc.) as many other domains of the economy (commerce,
finance, energy distribution) are recognizing dependability of the worldwide
information and communication infrastructures to be one of their top
problems.

Besides traditional hardware and software faults, concerns include human
interaction faults, being they accidental or malicious; the latter gaining
increasing importance due to the evolution of Internet connections and
applications.

The symposium will be organized in the archipelago of the Society Islands and
more precisely in Tahiti. This central setting, right in the middle of the
traditional zone of attraction of the symposium, will provide both a really
convenient and most pleasant location for the researchers and practitioners
in the domain of dependable computing.

PRDC 2004 will be held at Hotel Sheraton Tahiti that is conveniently
positioned between Faa?a international airport and Papeete.
(http://www.sheratonsintahiti.com/tahiti/us).

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Architectures for Dependable Computer Systems
- Architectures and Protocols for Computer Security
- Dependability of High-Speed Networks
- Dependability Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation
- Dependability in VLSI
- E-commerce and Web services Dependability
- Fault Tolerance in Distributed & Real-Time Systems

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 20
double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type.
Practical Experience Reports (of 5-12 pages) 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 address and include 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 correponding
author should be specified. All submissions must be made electronically.

under the form of Fast Abstracts (See below)

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission: September 5, 2003
Notification: November 14, 2003
Final version: December 15, 2003


Fast Abstracts

Following a tradition established in the International Conference on
Dependable Systems and Networks, we are pleased to announce the Fast
Abstracts Track at PRDC 2004. A Fast Abstract is a two-page paper written
according to the standard double-column IEEE format; it is fast to write and
fast to get international feedback. Fast Abstracts are intended as a light
mechanism to:

    * Report on current work that may or may not be complete
    * Introduce new ideas to the community
    * State positions on controversial issues or open problems
    * Bring out new issues to investigate
    * Present experience obtained from practice

Contributions from academia and industry, that are relevant to the topics of
the symposium, are welcomed. In particular, we invite engineers from the
industry, who may not have enough time to write a full paper, to take this
opportunity to exchange their ideas and solutions, as well as technical
problems and practical experience, with the international community.

Participants in this Track will present a short talk and publish a concise
two page abstract in the Supplement of the 2004 International Symposium
Pacific Rim Dependable Computing.

Preparation and Submission

A Fast Abstract must be submitted in its final form, ready to be printed. It
must be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF; .pdf file suffix).
PDF can easily be generated by many applications, including Microsoft Word,
via the commercial product Adobe Acrobat, or generated from PostScript by the
ps2pdf utility, which is a part of the freeware package GNU GhostScript.

If it is not possible for you to submit PDF, please contact one of the Fast
Abstracts program committee and make other arrangements.

Fast Abstracts are limited to two pages. Information on formatting dimensions
( .pdf | .doc ) and author guidelines ( .pdf | .doc ) are available. Before
your Fast Abstract can appear, you must send us a copyright form ( .pdf |
.doc ). (If you have problems downloading the .doc files, try right-clicking
on the .doc link and then choose menu Save Link As (NetScape Navigator) or
Save Target As (MS Internet Explorer) to save the file to your local disk.)

Please name your file something very likely to be unique and recognizable; we
suggest a concatenation of the first author's last name and organizational
abbreviation; e.g., "jones-cmu.pdf" or "leblanc-laas.pdf".

When you have your PDF file prepared, you may submit it electronically via
the Fast Abstracts submission page. You will receive email acknowledging your
submission.

Acceptance and Notification

Fast Abstracts will not be refereed. Instead they will be lightly screened by
the Fast Abstracts program committee. The criteria for acceptance will be
relevance and interest to the community. We will accept as many Fast
Abstracts as possible, limited by the available presentation time at the
conference. You will be notified when your submission has been screened and
whether or not it was accepted.

Important Notes

The final submission deadline is December 15, 2003. However, the effective
deadline will be earlier if the Fast Abstract slots are filled before then.
So you are encouraged to send in your submission well in advance of the final
deadline. The deadline for notification is January 16, 2004.

By submitting a Fast Abstract, you are committing yourself or one of your
colleagues to present at the conference.

Questions or comments about the Fast Abstracts session should be directed to
the Fast Abstracts Chair: Inhwan Lee.
