DPDNS 2016 - 21st IEEE 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. This workshop is a continuation of the FTPDS (Fault-Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems) workshop series. The goal 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 computing systems
High availability in parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
Safety and security in distributed and network-centric computing systems
Autonomic network computing
Resilience/fault tolerance at software level
Dependability by virtualization
Dependable high-speed wide, local, and system area networks
Dependable mobile computing
Dependable clusters
Dependable internet servers
Dependable cloud computing
Dependability issues of multi- and many core systems
Dependability in distributed embedded systems
Dependable protocols for distributed and network-centric systems
Protocol verification and validation
Dependability of Software Defined Networks (SDN)
Practical experiences and prototypes
Dependability evaluation of parallel, distributed and network-centric systems
