Dear colleagues,

The international conference DSN 2004 (Dependable Systems and Networks)
in Florence, Italy, includes several Workshops and Spezial Tracks, "Fast
Abstracts" being one of them, where you can report on current work in
progress or introduce new ideas to an international scientific
community.

Kind regards

Call for Papers: DSN-2004 Fast Abstracts

Continuing a tradition started in 1997, we are pleased to announce
the Fast Abstracts Track at this year's International Conference on
Dependable Systems and Networks. 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

Contributions from academia and industry, that are relevant to the
topics of the conference, are welcomed. In particular, we invite
engineers from 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 (5 minutes
including 1 minute for questions), and publish a concise two page
abstract in the Supplement of the 2004 International Conference on
Dependable Systems and Networks.

DEADLINES:
Submission: April 26, 2004
Notification: May 11, 2004
