Call for Papers
Performance and Dependability Symposium (PDS)
The 43th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference
on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2013)
http://2013.dsn.org
June 24-27, 2013, Budapest, Hungary
Access to information and communication through networks play a key role
in the overall functioning of modern human societies. Therefore,
evaluating and assessing the quality of service delivered by networked
information systems, in terms of their performance, dependability and
security is crucially important.
This objective is challenging, in particular when considering current and
future information systems that are more and more composed of large,
evolving, networked systems and infrastructures, involving everything from
super-computers and widely deployed server farms to myriad small mobile
computers and tiny embedded devices. Efficient and scalable modeling and
experimental techniques are needed to allow the designers and the
administrators of computer systems and networks to better understand and
to quantify the relationships between the occurrence of accidental or
malicious threats and their impact on performance, dependability and
security. Energy consumption concerns aggravate these design concerns
even further as improvements in performance, dependability or security may
turn out devastating to the power efficiency of a system.
The Performance and Dependability Symposium (PDS) aims to bring together
academic and industrial researchers in these related areas, with emphasis
on integrating theory and practice. Topics of interest to the symposium
include analytical modeling, simulation, and measurement; benchmarking of
performance, dependability and security; and submissions considering
hardware and software during the design, operation and maintenance of
computer systems and networks. Also, we encourage submissions including
real world empirical studies, corresponding data analysis and other
implementation and experimental issues.
We welcome original regular research papers, practical experience reports,
tool descriptions/demonstrations, and panel proposals related to
performance, dependability and security assessment, including, but not
limited to:
* Analytical, numerical, and simulation techniques for performance,
dependability and security assessment
* Measurement and monitoring techniques for performance, dependability
and security assessment
* Benchmarking and fault injection/robustness testing
* Model verification and validation for performance, dependability and
security evaluation
* Field data statistical analysis and data mining for performance,
dependability and security evaluation
* Modeling and measurement of security, malware and intrusion detection
systems
* Vulnerability analysis and threat assessment
* Measuring, modeling, techniques and tools for power-aware computing,
systems and architectures
* Design and use of tools and testbeds for performance, dependability and
security assessment
* Case studies showing the role of performance, dependability and security
assessment in the design, operation or maintenance of computer systems
and networks
Submissions will be done electronically; detailed instructions for the
submission process can be found at
