Call for Papers Third International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks (ADSN 2004) Tokyo, Japan March 23, 2004 Note! The submission deadline is extended to September 15. Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing. In cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Information Networks and IEICE Technical Committee on Dependable Computing. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2004)(see for detail http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs04/). The objective of this Workshop is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks. Along with recent rapid growth of the Internet, autonomous decentralized systems are connected with each other. In these systems, heterogeneous requirements are independently generated and the requirements themselves change frequently. Assurance in these systems is defined as capability of adaptability to heterogeneous and changing requirements. The workshop is of interest in the sense that requirements for assurance in distributed systems and networks are increasing in the future Internet and technologies on assurance including integration of various technologies on real time, fault tolerance, autonomy, mobility and intelligence have high possibilities to cope with complex distributed systems and networks. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Heterogeneous coexistence techniques. * Techniques for achieving high dependability in complex systems. * System life-cycle, specification, design, implementation, verification, and validation techniques of assurance. * System management techniques for assurance. * Real-time technology for assurance systems. * Software and hardware technologies (E-commerce, Intelligent transport system, Train control, Space computer) for assurance. * Self-stabilization and sensor networks. * Agents technologies for assurance. * Security issues for information warfare. * Network control (QoS, CoS, etc) technologies for assurance. Papers and Submissions Papers must be written in English, and they have to be in Postscript, PDF, or Word format. The complete manuscript should be no more than 12 pages of double-spaced text with 11pt fonts. The following information must be provided on a cover sheet: (1) paper title, full name, affiliation of the author(s), (2) full name, affiliation, complete address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of the author to be contacted, as well as (3) an abstract (up to a 150 words). To submit a research paper, please send an electronic version of the manuscript to the program chair Hidenori Nakazato by e-mail. Authors are expected to present their paper at the Workshop.

Third International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks
(ADSN 2004)

Tokyo, Japan
March 23, 2004
Note! The submission deadline is extended to September 15.

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing. In cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee
on Information Networks and IEICE Technical Committee on Dependable
Computing.

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 24th International
Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2004)(see for
detail http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs04/).

The objective of this Workshop is to provide an effective forum for
original scientific and engineering advances in Assurance in
Distributed Systems and Networks. Along with recent rapid growth of
the Internet, autonomous decentralized systems are connected with each
other. In these systems, heterogeneous requirements are independently
generated and the requirements themselves change frequently. Assurance
in these systems is defined as capability of adaptability to
heterogeneous and changing requirements. The workshop is of interest
in the sense that requirements for assurance in distributed systems
and networks are increasing in the future Internet and technologies on
assurance including integration of various technologies on real time,
fault tolerance, autonomy, mobility and intelligence have high
possibilities to cope with complex distributed systems and networks.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Heterogeneous coexistence techniques.
* Techniques for achieving high dependability in complex systems.
* System life-cycle, specification, design, implementation,
verification, and validation techniques of assurance.
* System management techniques for assurance.
* Real-time technology for assurance systems.
* Software and hardware technologies (E-commerce, Intelligent
transport system, Train control, Space computer) for assurance.
* Self-stabilization and sensor networks.
* Agents technologies for assurance.
* Security issues for information warfare.
* Network control (QoS, CoS, etc) technologies for assurance.

Papers and Submissions

Papers must be written in English, and they have to be in Postscript,

(1) paper title, full name, affiliation of the author(s),
(2) full name, affiliation, complete address, phone and fax numbers, and
email address of the author to be contacted, as well as
(3) an abstract (up to a 150 words).

To submit a research paper, please send an electronic version of the
manuscript to the program chair Hidenori Nakazato by e-mail.
