日本データベース学会の皆様 ACM SIGMOD 日本支部の皆様 重複して受け取られた場合には、ご容赦下さい。 メーリングリストをお借りしまして、来年(2005年)6月28日〜7月1日に横浜で 開催されます IEEE 主催の「ディペンダブルなシステムとネットワークに関す る国際会議」 The International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN2005) の論文募集の案内をさせて頂きます。 DSN は、以前は The Annual International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing (FTCS) という名称で 2000 年開催の時点で 30回の開催を数えてい ましたが、フォールトトレランスの概念を更にディペンダブルなシステムとネッ トワークという形に広げて関連する話題を取り扱うという意味から DSN に引 き継がれ、更に活発な討論の場となっております。ディペンダビリティに関連 したデータベースの話題も当然含まれます。 今回は日本国内で開催されることから、電子情報通信学会のディペンダブルコ ンピューティング研究専門委員会も主催に加わっております。国内外で「ディ ペンダブルコンピューティング」関する関心が高まっている折、是非とも投稿 をご検討下さい。論文の締切りは2004年11月19日です。詳しくは、 http://www.dsn.org をご覧下さい。 DSN2005 Publicity Chair 横田治夫 −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 横田 治夫 〒152-8552 東京都目黒区大岡山 2-12-1 東京工業大学 学術国際情報センター 情報基盤部門 (兼) 大学院 情報理工学研究科 計算工学専攻 TEL: (03) 5734-3505 (直通)、 FAX: (03) 5734-3504 email: yokota@cs.titech.ac.jp −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS The International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN-2005) Pacific Convention Center (Pacifico), Yokohama, Japan June 28 - July 1, 2005 http://www.dsn.org Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing IFIP WG 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance IEICE Technical Group on Dependable Computing In cooperation with: Univ. of Tokyo, Japan, Univ. of Florence, Italy, Univ. of Twente, Netherlands, Sun Microsystems, USA, LAAS-CNRS, France Important Dates: Papers: November 19, 2004 Panel proposals: November 19, 2004 Workshop Proposals: October 8, 2004 Tutorials: January 14, 2005 Student Forum: April 1, 2005 Fast Abstracts: April 1, 2005 DSN-2005 will be held in Yokohama, Japan, from June 28th to July 1st, 2005. The conference will have multiple main tracks of regular papers as well as practical experience reports, software, system and tool demonstrations, and panels on topics of current interest, including the Dependable Computing and Communications Symposium (DCCS) and the Performance and Dependability Symposium (PDS). There will also be several Workshops, Tutorials, a Student Forum, Fast Abstracts to emphasize late-breaking research. These activities provide a comprehensive program for researchers, practitioners, managers and students to learn and exchange information on the latest research results and state of the art in dependable systems and networks. We invite you to contribute to this premier forum by submitting in one or more of the categories outlined below: .. Regular Papers report on recent research results. .. Practical Experience Reports provide in-depth description of an experience or a case study. .. Software & System Demonstrations and Tool Demonstrations describe the software, system, or tool, its context and objective, and the planned demonstration. .. Panels discuss and debate topics of high interest in the community. .. Workshops provide opportunities for focused discussion on selected topics in a small group setting. .. Tutorials provide a short course on dependability practice, techniques and theories. .. Student Forum provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their research. .. Fast Abstracts present work-in-progress. Topics (include, but are not limited to): Architectures for Dependable Computer Systems Dependability Benchmarking Dependability of High-Speed Networks and Protocols Dependability Modeling and Prediction Dependability in VLSI E-commerce Dependability Fault Tolerance in Transaction Processing Fault Tolerance in Distributed & Real-Time Systems Fault Tolerance in Multimedia Systems Fault Tolerance in Mobile Systems Internet Dependability and Quality of Service Survivable and Intrusion-Tolerant Systems Safety-Critical Systems Software Testing, Validation, and Verification Software Reliability Analytical and Simulation Techniques for Performance and Dependability Assessment Measurement Techniques for Performance and Dependability Assessment Tools for Performance and Dependability Assessment For complete information on DSN-2005 please visit our website at <http://www.dsn.org>.
