LADC 2019 - IX Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering

LADC is the Latin-American event oriented to disseminate computer
system dependability and security research advances. This year, LADC
2019 will be held in conjunction with the IX Brazilian Symposium on
Computing Systems Engineering in Natal, Brazil from the 19th to the
21st of November 2019. The LADC symposium scope includes both
dependability and security research works, as well as research on the
technological challenges that they entail for the design, verification
and validation and maintenance of systems, software, and hardware.
The main track at LADC 2019 will comprise original, unpublished
research papers in two categories: (1) full research (regular) papers,
(2) practical experience reports, and (3) short papers. LADC looks for
works exploring new territories, continuing a significant research, or
reflecting on practical experience. Full research papers should
explore technology problems and propose a complete solution with
results. Practical experience reports are expected to provide an
in-depth exposition of practitioner experiences and empirical studies.
Short papers should present preliminary research work (position
papers), or a prototype/tool description, outlining the architecture,
implementation and usage of substantive operational systems or tools
for the research and practice of dependable and secure systems. Papers
will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category.
All aspects of dependable and secure computer systems and systems of
systems are within the scope of LADC, including fault tolerant
architectures, protocols and algorithms, models for performance,
dependability and security evaluation, as well as, experimentation and
assessment of dependable and secure systems. Authors are invited to
submit original contributions on all aspects of research and practice
on creating, validating, deploying, and maintaining dependable and
secure systems.
LADC proceedings will be published and indexed by IEEE A Best Paper
Award is also a tradition in LADC; candidates will be selected among
the submitted works and the award assigned at the conference.
Major topics include, but are not limited to:
• Fault tolerant hardware architectures, multi-core systems,
virtualization, nanoscale computers, hardware dependability
assessment.
• Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and distributed systems.
• Dependability of networks (LAN, WAN, mobile, ad-hoc, sensor
networks, protocols, SDN).
• Dependability of software architectures, runtime monitoring,
adaptation, model-driven engineering for the design of dependable and
secure systems, testing, verification & validation.
• Dependability and security in the era of Big Data.
• Dependability and security of cyber-physical systems and systems
of systems, communication networks and protocols, data storage and
databases.
• Dependability and human issues, human-computer interaction,
management of complex systems.
• Security foundations, policies, protocols, access control,
intrusion detection, intrusion tolerance.
• Safety-critical systems and applications, incidents & accidents,
risk perception, analysis and management, software certification.
• Dependability and security modeling, measurement and benchmarking.
• Maintenance, tuning of performance and availability, security
configuration.
