PRDC 2005 is the eleventh 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. As applications of
computing systems have permeated in every aspects of daily
life, the dependability of computing system has become
increasingly critical. This symposium provides a forum for
countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world
to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing
systems
The symposium will be organized by
the Hunan University in the historical City of Changsha, the
capital city of Hunan Province in south central China. The
origin of the Hunan University was the Yuelu Academy founded
in Song Dynasty, which was an important center for the
Neo-Confucianism study and has profound influence on the
Chinese philosophy for the last 1000 years. In addition, the
Hunan province has numerous sightseeing spots, including the
Yueyang Tower built in Song Dynasty, Mawangdui archeological
site from Han Dynasty, Mao Zedong¡¯s birthplace Shaoshen, and
China¡¯s first national forest park Zhang Jia Jie. The
conference will be held at Grand Sun City Hotel, a five-star
hotel in Changsha city.
Topics of interest include (but not
limited to):
- Software and hardware reliability,
testing, verification and validation
- Dependability measurement, modeling
and evaluation
- Safety-critical systems and
software
- Architecture and system design for
dependability
- Fault tolerant algorithms and
protocols
- Tools for design and evaluation of
dependable systems
- Reliability in Internet and Web
systems and applications
- Dependability issues in computer
networks and communications
- Dependability issues in distributed
and parallel systems
- Dependability issues in real-time
systems, database and transaction processing
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 corresponding
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.
