Chair: Martin Hutle and Josef Widder

Program Committee Members

This track of SSS seeks original contributions in the area of fault-tolerance, dependability and reliability of distributed systems. Topics of interest of this track include, but are not limited to:
  • Reliable and dependable systems.
  • Replication.
  • Safety-critical systems.
  • Hard real-time systems.
  • Reliability analysis.
  • System dependability modeling and prediction.
  • Analytical or experimental evaluations of dependable distributed systems.
  • Dependability issues and solutions in autonomic computing, and adaptive and self-managing systems..
  • Fault-tolerant systems, robustness, and failure recovery.
  • Byzantine fault-tolerance.
  • Design and analysis of distributed algorithms.
  • Complexity and lower bounds.
  • Parallel and distributed operating systems.
  • Distributed objects and middleware systems.
  • Distributed databases and fault-tolerant transaction processing.
  • Shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, and concurrent programming.
