PRDC is now recognized as the main regular event of the Pacific area that is covering the many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated in every aspects of daily life, the dependability of computing system has become increasingly critical. This symposium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability of computing systems. The symposium will be organized by the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. Taipei is a vibrant blend of traditional culture and cosmopolitan life. Taipei is the political, economic, educational and recreational center of the country, offering an array of significant cultural sights. A more recent cultural focal point in the city is the National Palace Museum, which houses hundreds of thousands of Chinese antiques and art works. The 101 tower is the highest building in the world currently, surrounded by a lot of department stores. Topics of interest include (but not limited to): - Software and hardware reliability, testing, - Reliability in Internet and Web systems and verification and validation applications - Dependability measurement, modeling and - Information security in Internet evaluation - Multi-medium in dependable computing - Survivability quantification - Bioinformatics in dependable computing - Security quantification - Dependability issues in computer networks - Self-healing, self-protecting and fault-tolerant and communications Systems - Dependability issues in distributed and - Software aging and rejuvenation parallel systems - Safety-critical systems and software - Dependability issues in real-time systems, - Architecture and system design for dependability database and transaction processing systems - Fault tolerant algorithms and protocols - Dependability issues in autonomic computing - Tools for design and evaluation of dependable - Dependability issues in embedded systems Systems - Industrial applications --PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES-- Manuscripts should be submitted in the following categories: Regular Papers and Practical Experience Reports. Regular Papers should describe original research (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be not more than 20 double-spaced pages including figures and tables using 11-point type. Practical Experience Reports (of 5-12 pages) should describe an experience or a case study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure and recovery field data. The title page should include a 150-word abstract, five keywords, authors・ names and addresses and include a line specifying whether the submission is a Regular Paper or a Practical Experience Report. The full mailing address, phone, fax and email address of the corresponding author should be specified. All submissions must be made electronically (http://www.csie.ntust.edu.tw/prdc08). Additional submission opportunities are also possible at a later deadline under the form of Fast Abstracts. Please visit our web site for full submission instructions and updated information on the symposium. Papers will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of some International Journals. --IMPORTANT DATES-- * Submission: May 15, 2008 * Notification: July 31, 2008 * Final version: September 15, 2008 --CONFERENCE ORGANISATION-- Honorary Chairs * Shi-Shuenn Chen, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) * Lung-Sheng Steven Lee, National United University, (Taiwan) * Der-Tsai Lee, Academia Sinica, (Taiwan) General Chairs * Shi-Jinn Horng, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., and National United University, (Taiwan) * Yennun Huang, Institute of Information Industry, (Taiwan) Program Chairs * Hsing-Lung Chen, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) * Ge-Ming Chiu, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) Publications Chair * Hsing-Kuo Pao, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) Publicity Chair * Yuh-Jye Lee, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) Local Arrangement Chair * Yuh-Jye Lee, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) Registration and Finance Chair * Wei-Chung Teng, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) Steering Committee Chair * Sy-Yen Kuo, National Taiwan Univ. of Sci. and Tech., (Taiwan) --Program Committee-- * Jean Arlat, LAAS-CNRS (France) * Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic Univ.
