CALL FOR PAPERS The 5th International Service Availability Symposium (ISAS 2008) Komaba Convention Hall, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan May 19-21, 2008 http://www.rel.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/isas2008/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: Jan. 15, 2008 Notification: Feb. 20, 2008 Sponsored by RCAST, University of Tokyo (http://www.rcast.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ja/) Service Availability Forum (http://www.saforum.org) In Cooperation with IEICE TC on Dependable Computing GI TC on Dependability and Fault Tolerance Who should attend? What are the issues? The objective of this Symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different "service" related areas within both industry and academia. We specially encourage original papers addressing problems of service availability at all layers, including experience on: * Dependability in Service Oriented Architectures (SOA): What dependability requirements are imposed by users and law? How are these requirements addressed in the SOA ? * Dependability in heterogeneous integrated systems: what is the state of the art in dependable heterogeneous systems? Do we need new standards? * Development and design tools for dependability: how can we support the day to day design, implementation, deployment and maintenance of dependable systems? Can we automatically "create" dependable solutions? How can we integrate dependability properties in common development environments? * Certified dependability: How can we certify service-level agreements (SLA) and dependability properties in ongoing development work? Topics: All areas of service availability are solicited, including but not limited to: * Robust services and infrastructure design/modeling/evaluation * Dependability and security requirements, design and test ofservices and SLA's * Availability/reliability models for composable systems * Service development, analysis, testing - models, environments, tools * Dependable solutions based on Java * Availability standards for service implementation, certification, support * Service management - certification, rating, service agreements, support * Interfaces for service implementers - usability, security and availability * Modeling, measuring and implementing dependability and security of integrated information and communication services * Virtualization technologies and dependable services * User aspects of service availability - dependability, performance, security, privacy * Dependability tools integrated in Eclipse environment * Service discovery * Service improvement and enhancement * Highly available service system INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS: Manuscripts should be submitted (and clearly indicated) as either Regular Papers or Practical Experience Reports. Regular Papers should describe original, unpublished work on current research and novel ideas. Practical Experience Reports should describe an experience or a case study. Submissions whose contributions are supported by experimental evaluations are strongly encouraged. The title page should include the title of the paper, author name(s), affiliations, mailing address, e-mail address, a maximum of 150- word abstract, five keywords and the submission category. The format of submissions for review should be single-column, 11-point font size and double-spaced: Not more than 20 pages for Regular Papers and not more than 12 pages for Practical Experience Reports including figures, tables and references. Papers should be submitted electronically through the symposium web page. Accepted papers are planned to be published in the Symposium Proceedings in a Special Volume of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series (please refer to the Authors Section "Information for LNCS Authors" at www.springer. com/lncs/ ).
