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.
