DPDNS 2014 - Workshop on Dependable Parallel, Distributed and Network-Centric Systems

Increasingly large and complex parallel, distributed and network-centric computing systems provide unique challenges to the researchers in dependable computing, especially because of the high failure rates intrinsic to these systems. The goal of this workshop in continuation of the FTPDS (Fault- Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems) workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss all aspects of dependability including reliability, availability, safety and security for parallel, distributed and network-centric systems. All aspects of design, theory and realization are of interest.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Dependable parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
High availability in parallel, distributed and network-centric computing systems
Safety and security in distributed and network-centric computing systems
Autonomic network computing
Dependability by virtualization
Dependable high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
Dependable mobile computing
Dependable clusters
Dependable internet servers
Dependable cloud computing
Dependability in distributed embedded systems
Dependability issues of multi- and manycore systems
Dependable protocols for distributed and network-centric systems
Protocol verification and validation
Practical experiences and prototypes
Dependability evaluation of parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
